19th October 2008: On Her Tummy!

Glory flipped over to her belly last night!
We put her inchworm a distance away and she kept trying to reach for it... many attempts were REALLY close. Munch and i watched in anticipation.
"She's gonna make it real soon!" Munch commented, "Maybe tomorrow... haiz, we won't be around to see it. How?"
"We could take childcare leave for a week..."
i went off to brush my teeth, still watching her cute attempts. Reach-reach-reach-flop back. Reach-reach-reach-give up.
Have to let her experience success, i thought. perhaps i should push the inchworm closer to her so that she'll manage to grab it. i stepped closer.

And then it happened.

Glory looked around with a very pleased expression.
"Oh look at me!" She seemed to say, "I did it, i'm on my tummy, with no help!"
Toothbrush in my foaming mouth, i congratulated her and burst into my parents' room, gesticulating frantically. They seemed to understand coz they all rushed over.
=)

Ooh baby, i'm so proud of you!
You're so cute!
And i'm so intoxicated by your disarming smile and pretty eyes and milk breath and amusing chuckles, i think i can smell you even when i'm at work.
i'm so addicted to hugging you, i'm finding it hard to do anything!

Clockwatching's bad Bad BAD, but i'm counting down.... can't wait to be home with you again, you funny cutey sweetie pie!

Dear Uncle Alien

Dear Uncle Alien,
Thank you so much for asking about me. I'm doing very well so far.
Since we last met at my first month party, i've had a hair cut. Or rather, a very hardcore shave. My hair's currently still trying to grow back. Here are some pics!

Happily bald!

Tummy Time!

Praying... for Grandpas, Grandmas, PaPa, MaMa, Uncles, Aunty, Godpa, Godma and the construction workers working outside in the sun.

I went to Fullerton for a one-night stay! Enjoyed it tremendously, especially the bed n the tub! =)

With cousin Natalie. She's grown so much!!

I may be small,
but i've got street cred!

MaMa has since taken on a second job - a paparazzi.

She reckons i am the cutest baby in the world and is trying to force the entire universe to look at my pics. So here are the links

Admit it! I'm cute!

i succumbed

yesterday, after weeks of deliberation, i bought the Gap cap for Glory.

And in one historic moment, i rescinded on my pledge not to buy full-price branded frills for babies.

never again.

or so i say.
