I Will Remember Auntie Yizhen

Yesterday was my actual full month. It was exactly one month since I popped from Mummy's tummy :)

Mummy had been secretly crying these few days... she told me she misses Auntie Yizhen, our confinement lady, who went back home on Tuesday, 4 November 2008, after competing 28 days of her confinement duties with us. Mummy misses her not because of the lack of her help once she's gone, but rather, Auntie Yizhen as a person.

Auntie Yizhen had been very nice, very efficient and very effective. She had helped Mummy increase her milk supply so that this little hungry me has got enough to drink at every meal. Before Auntie Yizhen left, she was so worried Mummy will not have time to cook while looking after me alone at home - and might not eat well resulting in low milk supply. So you know what she did? She prepared, cooked and froze Mummy's meals for the next 2 weeks!!!!!! So even though Auntie Yizhen is back home in Johor now, Mummy is still eating her home cooked food... she just need to thaw and warm up.............. isn't Auntie Yizhen nice???

While chit chatting at home (I was asleep but I sort of heard the conversation... I didn't eavesdrop hor!), Auntie Yizhen told Mummy her life story... and it really made Mummy sad... Auntie Yizhen is such a strong, independent woman. If she believes in next lives, I sincerely wish she can lead a better, fortunate life in her next life.

Mummy told me to always remember Auntie Yizhen. She says we can go visit her in Johor in future!!! But that will be a long time later, coz Auntie Yizhen is going Australia for 10 months and UK for 3 months for confinement duties. By the time I see her, I'll be 1+ year old!!!

I miss Auntie Yizhen too. She took great care of me with all her heart. She kissed me goodbye on the forehead.

I will remember her.

Mummy's gonna send this photo to Auntie Yizhen. I was crying throughout the farewell. I knew I will miss her :(

Papa's Tummy is So Comfy

Papa likes to put me on my tummy and on his tummy :)

I like it, coz Papa's tummy is so warm and comfy! Must be all the Ruffles sour cream and cheddar cheeze chips he had been munching on.

And I can lift my head slightly, for a lllooonnnggg time! I'm a strong boy :)

My first toy

My first toy is from my maternal seventh Grand-Aunt. Yes seventh. My Gua-ma has 9 sisters and 6 brothers! Mummy always wonder how her Grandma tahan all the labour pain when there was no epidural in those days...

The toy is a cute little furry rattle from Hong Kong Disneyland! It's blue and soft. As I still dunno how to rattle the toy, Mummy will place the toy in front of me when she's too tired to entertain me. *herghhh* I'll usually have my gaze transfixed on the toy and fall asleep :)

Me and my first toy. I fell asleep already :)

I'm 1 Month Old!

I'm finally 1 month old :)

Time flies eh? It had been 4 weeks since I popped from Mummy's tummy :) Life had been good outside. I simply just cry and I get what I want... although sometimes the adults take some time before figuring out what I am screaming for :)

To signify my full month, Mummy snipped a little of my hair and trimmed my fingernails and kept all these in red packets. These are for keepsake. Next time when I grow up, Mummy says she'll pass them to me :)

Mummy kept my hair and fingernails in these red packets :)

Auntie Yizhen bathed me in water with promeganate and pomelo leaves, which signify good luck ahead :) Ah-ma and Gua-ma also gave me some gold in the form of bracelets, necklace and a ring to celebrate my full month :) The bracelet from Gua-ma was the same one Mummy wore when she was a baby!!!

The celebrations ended with yummy durian cake from Emi's... too bad Mummy say I'm too young to eat the cake. But tell you something, I tasted the durian cake in Mummy's milk today. kekekekekeke :)

See, horizontal and vertical blue stripes! :)
