X'mas Party, Winter Solstice Festival, Kellys 8th month

Today is an important day, Kelly is 8 months old, Kellys first X'mas, first Dongzhi (The Winter Solstice Festival or The Extreme of Winter (冬至) is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians. Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers is the making and eating of Tangyuan (湯圓) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion). We had some of the Uncles, Aunties and babies over for a small x'mas gathering. We prepared great food, log cake, gifts for all babies and tangyuan too. Thank you all aunties and uncles for your x'mas prezzies, kelly loves them.

1st tooth...or 1st 4 teeth

Kelly drink and eat lesser than her normal and she drool more. I thought it must be her 1st tooth coming out. Few days later, we see not only 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 teeth at the same time. It's amazing, coz i had always been telling Kelly to erupt her tooth only when shes 8 months old so that the 2 teeth can grow out together and the chance or having big gap between teeth will be lower. What a nice X'mas surprise.

First dip in the pool

The weather is good and inviting for a dip. We took the Kellys float and bikini, and drive straight to Sentosa. The sky turns dark on the way and we thought it might be another dim sum morning, but anyhow, it starts to get sunny when we reach. Kelly had her sun tan when napping and went into the water when she wakes up. She loves it and we thought it might be good to bring her for swimming and play gym weekly.

X'mas Shopping

This is my favorite time of the year, shopping without silly excuse. Been busy setting up our x'mas tree, changing our home set up for the festive and new year, buying prezzies for babies and friends, etc etc = SHOPPING!!! Hubby and i had bought more than 5 gifts for Kelly, all meant to be x'mas gift, and of course not forgetting the vest that i am still working on.

Standing Up

Kelly had reached another important milestone of her life, she can now stand and even walk a few steps with support. Its nice to see her progressing and the luckiest thing is to be able to grow with her.

Pre-xmas party

28 babies gather today for their first x'mas party. it was so nice to have so many friends, aunties and uncles to spend this special day with Kelly. We had gifts exchange, party pack, goodies bag from Nestle and Dumex. We won the Dumex lucky draw and Auntie Janice even gave mummy a Loewe gift for arranging the party.

1st sit up

After trying to sit up for a few weeks from tummy down position, kelly finally managed to do it today, and she actually sit up a few time. it was reli fun to c her trying to put her butt on to the bed 1st and slowly using her hands to push herself to a sitting position. we have a new headache now, other then having to search all over the floor for her, we also got to make sure that the area that her cutie hands and legs touched, got to cushioned.

bb kelly fell down from her bed on 28 Aug 2007, we were not around then, when maid told me about it, i thought every baby sure have their first fall, sooner or later. A visit to doc the next day confirmed dat she's fine coz no serious injury within 24hrs, but doc ask me to look out for symptoms like crying for no reason or bb refuse milk within 1 wk, afraid dat bb might have internal injury dat onli surface after some time. after hearing dat, my heart shivered a bit, praying dat none of these symptons appear. 2dae, bb kelly woke up from her evenin nap n startin cryin n refuse milk, i was reli scared, afraid dat it might b the fall. luckily after carrying her for a while, she stopped crying n started to drink. it was den dat i realise how important she is to me. after she finished her milk, i make sure she smile n play wif me b4 my heart is relieved.
