玄玄嘎嘎笑!

She has just started to laugh heartily, moving on after she learned how to smile.

Excursion to the Zoo . . .!

玄玄 was woken up by Mummy early in the morning. While wondering why, she still managed to squeeze a smile for Mummy before being wheezed off to bathe. After dressing up and putting in some effort to cry for feed, we all hopped on to 爷爷's cab and tooted down to the zoo.

On reaching, 玄玄finally got her breakfast while waiting at the KFC for 姑姑, 姑丈, Sean哥哥 and Ning姐姐. After all are ready, we started our exciting day ahead. Mummy & Daddy tried to take the first photo with 玄子 at the entrance of the zoo. But she wasn't interested. Arghh.. how exciting!!


We walked pass the otters, the tapir, the monkey, and still, 玄子 can't make out what we are trying to show her. We walked pass the white tigers, 玄子 didn't even blink an eye at the monstrous cat. But maybe she did sit up when Mummy brought her to take a photo with the fake tiger statue, cos she gave the 'Mummy, run!!! It's a tiger...!' look at the camera.

And then it's nap time at the aquarium, tanning time along the way to the next destination and show time at the performance of 'Rainforest Fights Back'. She took the best seat in the arena, one with a comfy cushy seat and a dedicated fan to fight the heat. She looked intensely at the stage, trying to make out what's what and who's who among all the buzz and fuzz! After that, we went on to another performance about the sea lions & pelicans. But she prefer to lunch instead. After a full feed, it's Daddy & Mummy's turn to lunch, KFC again.









After a few more stops looking at the chimpanzees, the goats, the crocodile, the giant turtles, 玄子 decided that she want some more milk. It's snack time! Hack about the reptiles crawling around in their tanks. She snacked away oblivious to the giant python. After that, we headed to our last stop, the polar bear!! We met up with 公公，婆婆，舅舅，舅母，Toto 姐姐 and 4D 弟弟 for a brief while. After carrying Sean 哥哥 and Toto 姐姐 to take a peek at the polar bears through the glass tank above the water level, carrying 玄玄 was such a breeze!

So what has 玄玄 discover on this trip? Mummy hope she has some good exposure today cos at one point thought that she had brought 玄玄 to the Botanic Gardens instead. Cos 小玄子 was staring at the plants surrounding the enclosure instead of looking further ahead at the animals. *Roll eyes*

玄玄又打针了!!

玄玄满三个月了!!!

It's time to visit her pd again. And this time, she needs to take 2 jabs (5-in-1 & pneumococcal) and an oral vaccine (rotavirus). Mummy went with 小玄子 alone as Daddy overslept after watching the tennis finals which ended at 8+am.

The little girl was very cooperative throughout. Mummy did not have a hard time all the way to the clinic. She was weighed in at 5.3kg and measured 59.5cm. First thing her pd commented was that she is a cheerful baby (must be because she smiled at him. Haha!) Her pd did not comment on her stats but Mummy asked anyway. Average weight is supposed to be 5.5kg, so pd said she is on the light side, but he's not worried as she is breastfed and thus tends to be lighter. But her length is good.

After doing a few tests, pd said her neck is quite strong. And Mummy was so glad that she didn't create a big fuss when her pd put her on her tummy. All tests cleared, and it's time for the jabs. First shot in, and she screwed up her face in protest. Second shot in, she began to wail. But before Mummy could put on her shorts for her, she had stopped crying already. And all was forgotten before long as she interest herself in her surroundings and soon dozed off to sleep. Lucky enough, she didn't have fever or diarrhea, which are side effects of the jabs.

玄玄有护照了...!

小玄玄 gets her very first passport today!!

It's exactly 3 months after 玄's arrival and she lays claim to her very own biometric passport (Daddy & Mummy are still on the old-style ones). This $70 can at most last for 2 years though, cause babies grow and change fast. And the immigration aunties and uncles need an updated photo of Toddler 玄 instead of this Baby 玄's photo on the right!!

Daddy & Mummy really had fun trying to get a good photo of 玄子 for her passport. Hey, it's no joke trying to get a baby's good frontal view, without our hands in the picture, without her looking away and without her crying (or at least look alert if we can't get a smiley photo) or making funny faces. But we are rushing to get her passport done so that we can all buy air tickets for our year end trip. So we'll have to make do. See what we have to filter through before we decided on the photo above, and that is only the tip of the iceberg (and I mean the very tip).

玄玄 coos . . .!

小玄子 has started to babble!! And 舅母 said her coo'ings are so sweet, so girl, so gentle, and can melt her heart. Hehe!! Mummy & Daddy also love to hear their baby talk. Mummy does think she sounds dainty and sweet. Wondering what she's trying to tell us . . .

玄玄吃鸡腿!!!

Yes, it's a phase.. and 小玄子 has reached it. She has build up profound interest in her new found drumbstick... her right hand!!! Wondering what flavour it is. BBQ? Terriyaki? Feel like asking her if she'll like some ketchup on her drumbstick.
