My Favourite Musical Mobile

What is Geraldine looking at? So attentive? Her favourite Sesame Street Musical Mobile!!!

I Buckle Up for Mei Mei

Gwendolyn, as a big jie jie, loves to help out in everything Papa and Mama does for Geraldine, so that she won't lose out! This time, she asked to help mei mei to buckle up at the seat, whilst Papa and Mama are packing mei mei's bag before going out!

Nice Pic with Papa and Mama

Normally, Papa and Mama keep snapping for Gwendolyn and Geraldine and forgets to take pictures with them. Here you go, 2 nice pics of Geraldine with Papa and Mama!

I Love to Stand!

Papa and Mama knew that Geraldine was born a strong baby. However, what's more amazing is that she can kick very hard and loves to be carried upright, unlike an ordinary baby to be carried horizontally. What's more? She loves to STAND...see how she stands on her baby car seat...

Chubbily 5.2kg @ 1st month!

Visit to New Baby Cousin

Bao Bei Gu Gu has given birth to a baby boy on 3 March. Since Mama was still on confinement and couldn't visit Gwendolyn and Geraldine's new baby cousin (Joel's Di Di), we went for a visit after Geraldine's full month celebration! As both Geraldine and baby cousin are less than a month apart, Bao Bei Gu Gu and MaMa put the 2 babies side-by-side for a photo session...

Taken from baby's side, can't really tell the difference between the two!

Taken from in front...geraldine looks so much bigger!

Geraldine's Full Month Celebration

Though Geraldine was born on 6 February 2008, CNY Eve...but her full month celebration was held on 8 March 2008, as Mama wanted to have it on a Saturday! Papa and Mama invited 50 over guests for the celebration at the function room in the Club House! The party started at 11:30am and lasted until 3:00pm. This time, Papa Mama ordered from a different caterer: House of Catering, just for a change...as normally, the food is ordered from Stamford Catering and everyone is kind of bored with the food!

Papa and Mama were too busy entertaining all the guests and didn't remember to take more pictures for the occasion! However, as compared to Gwendolyn, Geraldine had more pictures than her Jie Jie during full month celebration!

Can you see Geraldine's new outfit? It was sponsored by Fu Fu as a present!

Thank you for all the generous gifts and hong baos!

Highlight of the day: Foot Print Making

Preparing Full Month Cake Voucher

Geraldine's full month is just round the corner. As Mama has received a lot of well wishing presents from her colleagues, she planned to bring Geraldine back to the office on 7 March for a visit. The night before, she was preparing the full month cake voucher as a token of thanks to her colleagues. Gwendolyn, as usual, was eager to help Mama to complete this tedious task! So, Mama started a "production line", where Mama would write the names in the card, Lyn Lyn would fold the voucher and insert into the envelopes, then return to Mama to write the recipient's name on the envelope, before Fu Fu finally seals it off! Lyn Lyn felt so happy to have helped Mama with this!

Fu Fu's Visit

After Gong Gong and Por Por have left, Fu Fu came to visit Geraldine and to attend her full month celebration. Since Fu Fu is quite big in size, you can see the Geraldine is actually lying comfortably on this "human sofa"...so shiok (Shiok: Singlish)!

Taken at home and at Sushi Tei (Holland V)

Geraldine's Confinement Nanny

This was Mama's confinement nanny since returning home from the hospital on 8 March and she's been taking care of Geraldine day and night since then! Today is her last day with us and Mama has requested to take a picture of her and Geraldine, so that Geraldine will know who was caring for her since she was born for the first month!

Thank you, Auntie XueMei

End of Term - Teddy Bear Picnic

Gwendolyn told Mama excitedly that she's going to have an end of term teddy bear picnic in school on 6 March! Ms Jam told everyone that they can bring their favourite food to the picnic. Lyn Lyn, without hesitation, told Mama that she wanted to bring peanut butter sandwich to share with all 16 of her friends in her class! Mama promised her to bring her to the supermarket to buy the ingredients after school on 5 March, after Fu Fu has arrived in Singapore! (P.S. Lyn Lyn excitedly told Ms Jam in the morning that her Fu Fu will be picking her up after school on 5th!)

All of us hurried to the Cold Storage at McDonald's Place at the junction of Clementi Road and Bukit Timah Road, grabbed our stuff and hurried home. After dinner, Mama asked Lyn Lyn to bring out everything to prepare the peanut butter sandwiches. She's asked for the green plates that we've bought for the last X'mas Party to hold the sandwiches and the red cups for drinks during tomorrow's picnic. Lyn Lyn carefully spread the peanut butter on the bread and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Mama and Lyn Lyn completed 4 sets, with 16 small pieces! Lyn Lyn was satisfied and carefully packed the napkins for all of her friends, with some, having special "santa claus" pattern. She even placed her teddy bear together with Spot at the console table, just in case she's forgotten to bring her teddy bear along the next morning! All well prepared...

P.S. 6 March was a rainy day and Mama wasn't sure what happened to the planned teddy bear picnic? Though Lyn Lyn returned to tell Mama that she had a great picnic with her friends!

My First Friend

Do you know that young babies can only see three colours: Red, Black and White?! Since Elmo has all three colours, Mama has placed one nearby to Geraldine, just in case she got bored and have "someone" to play with! Surprisingly, she wasn't scared of Elmo, but was trying hard to "talk" and "communicate" with it. It was rather interesting to see how they interacted for the first time: Geraldine kept "punching" Elmo, until he fell...it was so funny...

Who are you? What are you doing on my baby cot?

Hey! I am talking to you! How come you're so rude and not responding?

I am saying for the last time: talk to me or I'll punch you!

Gwendolyn or Geraldine???

Our visitors kept saying that Geraldine looks like Gwendolyn (when she was a baby). Mama has purposely put their baby pictures together, wearing the same outfit to let all our friends compare and comment! What do you think? Let's play spot the difference! Difficult, right?

UPDATE: Due to overwhelming response from this controversial collage, Mama has decided to unveil the answer to all...LHS is Geraldine and RHS is Gwendolyn! Both pictures were taken when they were 3 weeks old! Haha...

Our first family photo of 4!

Gong Gong, Por Por and Geraldine

Some pictures taken by Gong Gong between 14-18 February!

Expressive Geraldine with various facial expressions!

Gong Gong not forgetting taking a picture for Gwendolyn too!

Is This Mei Mei's Dimple?

Papa and Mama's been wondering whether Geraldine managed to inherit Papa's dimples, just like Gwendolyn. However, since birth, there was no sign of any dimples at all, even though it's rather obvious that Geraldine will have long eye-lashes...but today, when Mama was taking picture for Geraldine, she discovered something on her left cheek! See...is this a dimple?

Can this possibly be a dimple? What do you think?

Expressive Expressions

When Mama hold a camera near to Geraldine, she'll start moving around, as if knowing how to pose for the camera! See all her different facial expressions...

I can pose for Mama...

Do I have big eyes?

Morning Exercise

Even though Geraldine didn't have any jaundice, but she was placed under the morning sun for a little while every morning! See, she's exercising during her "sun tanning" session as well!

One, Two, Up, One, Two, Up...

Playing NDS and Eating Abalone

For those who remembered Auntie Mary, knew that Gwendolyn was "addicted" to the Nintendo DS machine! So this time, when Gong Gong came, he brought along Fu Fu's NDS for Lyn Lyn to play! See how close she has become with Gong Gong? Coz Gong Gong let her play games on the machine!

Not forgetting Por Por's abalone, Lyn Lyn was enjoying herself so much with the yummy abalone, asking to cut it up all by herself...

Lower left pic: When she couldn't cut it, she poked the whole abalone with her knife and put it in her mouth! All of us laughed! She was enjoying herself so much!

I Helped Por Por to Feed Mei Mei

Gwendolyn's been learning about baby care with Mama since Mama was pregnant. She's been looking forward to feeding and changing diapers for her Mei Mei. Since Gong Gong and Por Por arrived today, she saw Por Por carrying Mei Mei and feeding Mei Mei to drink milk as well, she asked to help too! Though not all by herself, but she took part in it!
