Oct 09 (1st update)

Hee.. since i currently using lunch hr to update the blog, stil have some time before back to work. =) Bside, predicting that i wont be able to update during the first week of Nov... y??? Cos we are going to JAPAN!!!! Finally be goin on a tour as a little family!! I still doing homework to plan the the itinery for the F&E 9 days trip. Decided against tour as we didnt want to disrupt xuan usual feedin n nappin timming. With tour, it b early n returnin to rest late for each day... with F&E, we can schedule our timmin with more flexibility... Although we wont be able to cover as much of Tokyo as with a tour... but at least, we can arrange the timmin so that the places that interest her, she be awake to play. n when the time for us to shop n look around at our stuffs, she be nappin away.... =)

Well back to the updates. =p

Begining of the month was a terrible period... Xuan keep havin fevers. once a week, n each time startin on Wed..... we suspect it the 2nd molar sproutin.... Cos she keep using her finger to rub deep inside the mouth. till her fingers become red... With the previous 16 teeths, there wasnt much problem. fever not much, think once or twice?? But of cos, the droolin n fussy eating was common.... But it the first time we encounter her having high fever for no obvious symptoms.... But luckily she was still as active as before, eating as normal, n most importantly, pooin daily.... ahahahha

The second bout of fever was longer n higher... From "black" Wed to Fri, highest temp recorded was 38.4 degree celieus. 5hrs after parcemothol, her fever will keep coming back... the three days was really a agony for us... bside worryin about her.. we had to keep using towel to lower her heat at night and distract her with silly antics to distract her of the fever patch at her forehead. During the nights, she kept wakin up in the middle of the night to play, 2am-5am!!


After the fever, she has dropped weight again. from 9.55kg to 9.30kg.. her cheeks had sunk a little. sob sob...


Went to the Mattel sale at Lok Yang. This year was much more suitable for infants than toddlers.... Thus we got only a few toys.... A magnetic drawing board for $10, 3 bubbles bottle ($2 each), Fisheprice Learning Bench $25 and Fisherprice Rhymes round abt $25.


Snapshots of Xuan playin at the sales.


My first try at lemon cookies... receipe needs lemon extract,, but i only had essence... in the end, the cookies turn out to have a strange taste.... strong vanila with lemon... (use ur imgaination ba..) hahaahaa
but still,, my little gal loves them.... she could finish a few of them at a time. =p Will try again next time with other flavours.. bt of cos,, have to buy the right ingredients first... =p


Finally brought Xuan to take her 2nd pneumoccal Jab. she was supposed to take 2weeks earlier... but due to her fever,, we have to postpone.... kids are supposed to have at least a wk of clean bill of health before their jab... We were gettin worried that she may not b able to hv the jab in time b4 the japan trip. but luckily, her fever has subside, n it was still in time for her to rest in SG at least two weeks before the trip.
in the morning waitin for us to bring her out.

This the dress that Xuan b wearing for her YiYi's weddin. YiYi has bought this especially for the occassion. Dosent my gal look sweet in it?? kekeke


Went to wholesale toy shop during the wkend.. xuan was attracted to this. kept walking back n climbin on top to play at the piano. seeing how much she like it,, we decided to invest on it... at least it a whole lot cheaper than the "wooden grand piano" sellin at the forum... bring a keyboard, the sound it produced, have more ranges n tempo... thus able to attract xuan attention even more...
