Firsts: Flips

Here's our newly flip-happy baby!

With her new-found skill, she's no longer completely dependent on us to move around.


Awake and no longer wanna lie down? Flip!

Toy too far away? Flip!

Mama too far away? Flip!

This morning, after i changed her, she decided she's given me enough time and flipped over even before i fastened the rompers.
Now i've got to make sure my diaper-changing skills are up to speed!

Firsts: Swim Time!

Glory's first swim @ Godma's place
in her super conservative wet suit. Papa says no bikinis.

hey hey hey! there's cold water entering my suit! is that normal?


Ducky, you cold too? Don't be scared ok? I'm here.


Warmed up! This is fun!

Poor Conversationalist

NSmen and new mothers are the worst conversationalists, i reckon.

I remember having to sit thru endless conversations with friends/brothers/cousins who were in NS. Their conversations were always about NS - some evil officers, some strange acronyms, some tough trainings, some unreasonable-superiors-who-are-incapable-but-are-superior-only- because-they-signed-on, some blur sabo-kings etc. They didn't seem to have anything else to talk about.

Now i'm like that, albeit i speak only about my daughter.

You know how i posted a blog entry about her turning over on her tummy only minutes ago? It wasn't enough for me. I seriously feel a need to walk through the staff room and informing every colleague. I honestly feel it deserves a spot in the front page of the Straits Times. (maybe i should call jianming) I seriously believe it is more important than whether the STI/ DJI etc goes up or down, economic crisis ends or worsens.

So... yeah.
You know what to expect when you next see me.
i will TRY to act like i am listening when we talk about other things.
but you know better.
I'm only waiting for a chance to link the conversation to my darling, then i'll drown you with a blow-by-blow account of how she turned on her tummy/ ate rice cereal/pretended to laugh and the 72,529 photos i have of her.

Be warned.
