Yen is 8 months!

I'm so happy that she's now 8 months. Took her to her 8 month photoshoot yesterday (Mon, 14 Jan) at Pix n Portraits. She was a bit cranky but managed to take some nice pics. Can't wait for Daddy to make time to choose the pictures. Her head circumference is 43 cm, length 67 cm and weighs 8.2kg.

My two front teeth!

Yen's lower two front teeth sprouted early Nov, the time she 'kena' UTI. Haven't been able to take gd pics of them. Here's one nicer one. Snapped while bathing her. She enjoys splashing around.

Sentosa Trip (24th nov)

Haven't been updating much during the dec hols. I was supposed to be freer isn't it? Anyway, brought the family to Sentosa, on 24th nov, a Sat morning. Drove in and parked the car before heading for the monorail. Walked up a hill, with the help of the escalator, to take the luge. Then had pizza for lunch before heading home.

Yen is cleared of UTI

Admitted Yen to NUH for one day on the 23 Nov to do her tests for MCU and DMSA. She had a catheter inserted first thing in the morning and some liquid injected from there to check her bladder and urinary tract. Hb went in with her to do the MCU as mummy was breastfeeding and cannot be exposed to radiation. She was then given another dose of dye through the hand and then sedated after 3 hours. She took a long time to knocked off and slept throughout the procedure. Woke up when she was wheeled back to the ward. Was already 6pm when she was discharged.

Brought Yen back to NUH in the afternoon for review of results on 28 Nov. Dr Chan said that her MCU and DMSA results came back normal. Yay! He said that the chances of getting it again is not higher than other babies who hadn't had it before. So hope Yen doesn't get it again. It's a nightmare!

Leap Frog!

Mummy went window shopping at Isetan. Happened to to see Leap Frog Learning System on offer at $89.90, $10 off the usual price. Decided to buy for Ken. Ouch! He gets a kick 'playing', not learning, with the system. Hope he learns to appreciate his toy, my hard-earned $$$.

Hooked to the computer!

Had recently been surfing this website www.starfall.com with Ken and I was the one who usually controls the mouse. Today(19/11), he just took over and started to control the mouse all by himself. Kids sure do learn fast!

Vivocity

Went to Vivocity ToysRus to hunt for Leap Pad Learning System, since Mummy bought a Thomas the train book with the cartridge from Changi Airport. Had breakfast of yam cake and Daddy had his coffee from the Toast Box. Ken was very happy and enjoyed the yam cake and looking at a Taka toy promotion booklet. We had a quick lunch of wuxiang with beehoon, fried dumplings and lime drink. First time Ken used chopsticks to eat. Had an enjoyable morning.
