Last Saturday, ah kong was vacuuming the Honeywell air filter for mummy and out of sudden, you walked to him and point at the vacuum cleaner and asked him, "ah kong, what is this?"
From there onwards, we noticed that you start to walk around ask us lots of "what is this?" question. When you see any of us doing/using something which look new and fresh to you, you will ask us "what is this?" and sometimes you sort like want to test on our patience as you will keep asking us "what is this?" even though we already reply to your question. But i do enjoy answering you be it one time or many many time, it's very fun though.
Looks like you have move to another stage of your childhood, and very soon you will ask us "why?" and all of us will have headache answering your "why?".

Mummy's little girl
This romper i bought it from factory outlet for Kelvin but before i remember to take it out for Kelvin, he out grown the romper, so this time, i keep the romper with the newborn baby clothing and keep remind myself MUST remember to let Kaitlyn wear on it.
Injection again and follow up for nose blocked
After checking the nose, what is next? Injection again! This time you need to take 2 injections and the rotavirus medicine at the same time, pity you. Don’t understand why nowadays the kids need to take so many injections and oral medicine compare to daddy mummy’s childhood time. Maybe due to environment change, lifestyle change, and all the bacterias get smarter and smarter, so more and more vaccination being introduced.
Still remember, last time we don’t have vaccination for chicken pox, and nowadays, this vaccination become an optional vaccination. Kids who take the chicken pox vaccination will “run way” from getting chicken pox, good deal right?

Christmas Party
Shortly, more and more people coming. Your favourite Jojo jie jie arrived around 7:30pm. She looks blur, must be just wake up from nap.
Then party started around 7:45pm and we get to enjoy the food first before all the activities. We had some noodle, and to my surprise you love the fried bee hoon. You keep ask for more , cool !
Alright, time for activities. It started with activity for kids from age of 2 and 3, which is your group. Parents need to accompany the kid for the activity, so, mummy accompany you while daddy be our cameraman. It's just a simple game whereby the kid need to follow the teacher to do all the actions. You enjoy it so much til when the next session is for age of 3 to 4, you also join the crowd.
Ah kong brought mei mei to meet with us at the school and she seems enjoy the loud christmas music, not feeling annoying at all. Thank goodness to all the helpful teachers, they take turn to help mummy carry mei mei so that mummy gets to participate in the acitivities with you.
After all games, here come the Santa. Uncle Beh wears the santa suit and bring all of you walk along the road. Tonighte is quite windy, nice weather for outdoor activities. After the short walk, it's gift exchange time. Teacher call out the number and the kid will claim the gift accordingly. After getting your gift, we decided to make a move as the wind is too strong for mei mei to stay outdoor. Of course you refuse to go, so we have to drag you out from the party, and luckily very fast, you are back to yourself, the happy boy! That's the end for today's party! Time to sleep....
Good night and Merry Xmas to 2 of you.

First day at school
We dropped you and kor kor to school around 8:20am. Since you still so small, thus, thus there isn’t any problem for you to get yourself adjust to the new environment. Mummy spend time with you in the school for half a day, everything seems ok. However, due to you used to sleep in cradle while you are in the house, so you have problem falling sleep in the baby cot. But, thanks for the experienced teacher and babysitter, they managed to find way to let you sleep, at least for a short while.
Mummy picked you up at 6pm and from the daily report card, you seem doing well in the school. I am so proud of you. Hope you will able to adjust yourself well as fast as possible.

Running nose
After Dr Khaw examined you, he prescribed nose drop ~ Iliadin for you, max of 3 times a day, and one drop each time. Mummy hate using nose drop as everytime when i need to put the nose drop for kor kor, both mummy and kor kor will struggle with one another. But this is the only way to make your nose better, so no choice. You quite coorperate with mummy when i use the nose drop on you, phew! Good girl! Hope your blocked nose get clear as fast as possible.

Kelvin at Kaitlyn's full moon party
Kaitlyn full moon party
Kor kor'sfull moon party we cater food from Eden Catering and have it in ah kong's house and this time we found that it's easier to have it in hotel, no need to worry not enough food for all guests, no need to worry not enough parking space for the guests, no need to worry whether it's going to rain or not ...etc!
So, where to go? E&O hotel since Ah Ma is the member of the The Heritage from the hotel. With the membership, we entitle some discount some more! 2 weeks before the party, mummy started to call up E&O marketing staff and get them to give us a package. And the lady is quite nice and she comes back with a good deal for us! Ta da!!!
We then headed back to Ah kong's house and as soon as we reached the house, you cry as it's your milk time. Kor kor quickly run the attend to you, ask you not to cry and you ignore him and he even tried to put pacifier into your mouth to make you stop crying, kor kor is such a sweet boy!
Again, thanks to everyone for your baby shower and thanks for coming to the full moon party. Hope all of you enjoy the food!

My 2 sweeties' first ferry ride
As soon as our car goes on ferry, ah kong bring you around the ferry. You dare not walk by yourself and ah kong also dare not let you wonder around by yourself. So he carries you! When the wind blow on your face, you told ah ma,"very cery cold!" LOL! Today's weather is kinda good for ferry ride as the sun is no strong and very windy!
The ferry that we ride on take passengers instead of cars and motors at the top deck, so ah kong brought you up to have a look at well. Basically, since this is your first ride, you just keep observe the surrounding. I guess if we were to bring you again for next ride, you will run around the ferry and we will have to chase after you like crazy!
Mummy needs to stay in the car with mei mei, so missed out the opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze with you. No worry, will find another time to go for next ferry ride with you and mei mei!
The ride is pretty short and here is our conversation after we out from ferry,
M: Kelvin, how's ferry sound?
K: pon pon !!!
M: Then what we do?
Bye Bye ang ku ku aunty
Kelvin likes to said angkuku to Kaitlyn and my confinement lady tease him back by saying ang kuku to him, and end up, he call her angkuku aunty!
Today, we send my confinement lady to Butterworth bus terminal and since we are going over to Prai, so we took the opportunity to bring Kelvin along for his FIRST ferry ride. We brought him to Church Street Pier before and told him what is ferry but never have the opportunity to ride on it. So, the day before, i told him we are going to bring him for ferry ride and he is so excited with it, keep telling me ferry ferry and ferry!
On the full moon day
After the hair trimming, it's the "open face" activity. Basically, the confinement aunty uses an boiled egg and roll it all over your face and while rolling it, she said something which mummy doesn't able to catch all of it. What mummy can recall is, it's something like by rolling the egg, you will have good luck in future, bla bla...After that, we bath you and let you wear the new romper that mummy bought from Children's Place. Then, what's next? Wait for ah ma to drive us to second uncle's house to pray to my grandma, your greatgrandma.
Oh yeah, on our way to second uncle's house, we detour back to ah ma's house to pick up 1st aunt and at the same time dropped by aunt Lay Pheng's house to pick up the baby bassinet. She is so kind to borrow her bassinet to us as mummy told her that we need a bassinet to put you in for Sunday's full moon party. And in fact, a friend of her borrowed the bassinet from her and she helped us to check with her friend whether can we use it for a day or not. So nice of you.
As soon as ah ma saw the bassinet, she fall in love with it and she decided to get a new one for you after the praying. We spend about 1 hr in second uncle's house and headed to Kimberley Street to look for bassinet for you. And ta daaa.......we found one for you. The one that we borrowed from aunt Lay Pheng is with flowery design and the one that we bought for you is with plenty of apples. Hope you will love it!

Me and my 2 cousins from Johor
Here are the pics for fun moment of 3 of u in our house,
Injection time
Luckily there is only few patients and very fast, it's our turn. As soon as i told Dr Khaw on Kaitlyn's situation, he told me the heat at tummy causes by OVERFEEDING and overfeeding causes heartburn to my poor little girl ! Then,he asked me the feeding schedule for Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn's feeding schedule is 3 oz every 2 hrs. It's too much for newborn. The recommended feeding schedule is 2 oz every 3 hrs. Sigh! This is the problem that most of the breastfeeding mummy will face if they hire confinement lady. As soon as baby cry, the confinement lady will jump into conclusion saying baby is hungry. My confinement lady increase Kaitlyn's milk intake without my permission and luckily nothing serious happen to my little girl. Dr Khaw told me that there is one mummy, she overfed her baby and baby will throw out milk after every feed and due to too frequent vomiting, there is some blood in the vomit. SCARY huh! Anyway, since we find out the root cause, then i feel much better.
So what's next? Injection time.
I carry Kelvin while mom help me to hold his hand tight while Dr Khaw quickly give one injection to his buttock. Of course, we expect some cry, and we told him it's mosquito bite but the poor little boy keep saying painful. Luckily after a while, the speaker being turn off.
So, now, it's Kaitlyn's time to get her injection. I asked mom to bring Kelvin out but this little boy insist to stay in the room with the sister. When Dr Khaw gave injection to Kaitlyn, i can see Kelvin's sour face, and he looks so painful, feeling pain on behalf of mei mei...so touching! Luckily Kaitlyn cried for a while and stop.
Nowadays there is so many types of injections that need to be taken, unlike those old days, not so much of injection.

The day before your full moon....
Sometimes when we want to wake you up for bath, you refuse to wake up and decide to laze on the bed. No matter how we disturb you, you will just ignore us.
So, while you are sleeping, mummy took the opportunity to take a few snap shots of your little fingers and toes. I like seeing baby's fingers and toes, they are so cute, agree?

My Little Helper
Whenever mei mei poo poo, he will run at his top speed to look for the confinement lady and tell her mei mei poo poo and request her to change diaper for mei mei. Once, the confinement lady teased him by asking him to change the soiled nappy for mei mei and he told the confinement lady, "aunty, pls go up, mei mei poo poo, change for mei mei!" and he hold the confinement lady's hand and walk up the stairs. And whenever confinement lady change nappy for Kaitlyn, he will stand beside and look at her. Most of the night, he will request me to bring her to the confinement lady's room to look at mei mei before he goes to bed.
The teacher in nursery told me, nowadays Kelvin shows stronger and stronger interest on baby after the arrival of Kaitlyn. Previously, he likes seeing baby too.
Every morning when he sees parents drop their babies to the nursery, he will go and look at the babies, touches their hands or legs and this little cheeky boy of us even tell the teacher that mei mei called him Kelvin ke ke. *LOL*
I feel so glad seeing Kelvin able to accept Kaitlyn so well. I am so proud of you, Kelvin boy!

A Letter to my little girl, Kaitlyn
Welcome to the family!
When mummy get to know that i am pregnant, of course the first reaction is HAPPY! When you big brother Kelvin turn 1, Daddy and mummy are both ready to have a second baby and here you come! Even though we get the pregnancy result from the pregnancy test kit, but yet we still choose to get second confirmation from the doctor in hospital. YEAH! It's positive!
The doc told mummy that your first estimate due date is on 4th Nov 2008. And during second visit, doc told mummy that you are 2 weeks bigger in size, so your estimate delivery date will be somewhere around 24 ~ 26 Oct. Daddy and your brother Kelvin both are born in month of Oct, and based on the latest EDD from doc, you will be a Oct baby too! But, mummy a bit greedy, since daddy and kor kor belongs to Libra horoscope, so i always hope that you will come out before 22nd Oct, so that 3 of you are in the same horoscope group. And mummy even become greedier later, i wish u can share the same birthday as daddy. And GOD hear me........ta daaa….you come out on daddy's birthday! You decided to join the family on mummy's 37 weeks 7th day pregancy!
On 20th Oct night, suddenly mummy realized that i don't seems to feel much movement from you throughout the day , usually you move a lot regardless day or night. So mummy’s initial plan to drop by Dr Ng’s clinic on next day to let him have a check. However, on that night Kor kor suddenly told mummy that he wants to poo poo and show it to you (the night before kor kor in playing mood and refuse to do his big business, mummy coax him by telling him to poo poo and show to mei mei) , and without any fuss, mummy bring kor kor to toilet and let him finish his big business. And when mummy tugs kor kor to bed, kor kor hugged mummy tight. Hmm…mummy started to feel something not right, as kor kor don’t like to cuddle with anyone when he sleeps, he likes to have big big space when he is sleeping. Anyway, mummy just ignore all the signs :-
kor kor said wanna show you’re his poo poo
kor kor hugged mummy on the bed
Daddy and mummy went to bed around 1030pm after we tugged kor kor to bed. And around 11pm, mummy start to feel some tummy tightness, an I just ignore it, thought it could be due to over worry. And throughout the nite, I cant sleep well, can’t recall when I started to have the mild contraction. I just remember the first time I ever get myself up and really look at the clock is around 1:55am, then the next time I look at the clock after next contraction is around 2:05am, it’s about 10 mins apart, I remembered I talked with daddy around 2-ish am when he feel that I keep tossing around, and I told daddy that I suspect I am having contraction. Even though this is mummy’s second pregnancy, but because when I had your kor kor, I don’t have the real experience of contraction, so mummy a bit doubt. I keep monitoring the contraction and I fall asleep and wake up again around 3am, and the contraction feel getting stronger, so I wake up, take my shower and wash hair . When mummy took my bath, saw some “show” then yeah, time to get myself to the hospital.Daddy called ah kong and ah ma to come over to our house to take care kor kor while daddy and mummy go to hospital. Dr Ng told mummy that I need to go to hospital when the contraction is 5 min apart and furthermore during my last check up, he said I am 2cm dilated, so means I will go into labor anytime.
It’s middle of the night, and we reached Adventist Hospital in 15 mins time. Went to Emergency Room, then being pushed to Maternity ward. Mummy admitted to hospital at 4:20am. when they checked at me around 5:45am, I am 4cm dilated. Another check at 8:10am, I am 6 cm dilated and the final check around 10am, I am 8cm dilated and doc broke the water bag for me. But I didn’t go for delivery immediately, I delivered you at 1:22pm. It’s a long delivery huh! Dr Ng told mummy before that because your kor kor is born through c-section, and if I opt to go for normal delivery mode for you, it will consider as first time normal delivery for mummy and in fact daddy did offer mummy to go for c-section while we were in the hospital, but mummy choose to go for normal delivery mode. Around 12:50pm, mummy suddenly have the feel of want to push, so daddy quickly get the nurse and doc into the labor room. My contraction suddenly not consistent and Dr Ng at last decided to drip mummy for induce and create contraction. While on drip, mummy scream and cry as I am having sharp pain and I have no idea how to push you out and I almost want to give up and go for c-section, but Dr Ng said too late, your head already engaged, so no matter what I must push you out. And Dr Ng said he will help me to vacuum you out. And I think after 4~5 push from me, you are out. Feel so relieve after seeing you are out! And I did it! A normal delivery mode.
So, our dear little girl,Kaitlyn, here u are, your journey to join our family. Again, Welcome to the family!
Love,
Mummy,Daddy and Kelvin
A letter to my little boy, Kelvin
Sorry, mummy left home while you still sleeping. I kissed you goodbye before I headed to hospital. At that moment, I wish the contraction is false alarm, I want to spend one more ME and YOU night with you. But since the contraction getting stronger and stronger, so mummy leave the house with heavy heart. Worry whether will you cry when you don’t see either me or daddy when you wake up; does ah kong and ah ma know how to pack your school bag…..On the night before mei mei is born, you gave mummy 2 strong hints and mummy just ignore it. Hmm….is this so call baby instinct?
Everyone so excited to know what is your reaction when you see your mei mei. And for mummy, I am sure you will love your mei mei very very much. And you didn’t disappointed me!
Ah kong and ah ma picked you up from school and bring you to the hospital.As soon as you step into the room, you get so excited seeing mei mei! You even asked us to put mei mei on the floor so that you can have closer view of her. You also asked us to put mei mei on the bed and within a second, you also climb up to the bed, sitting beside mei mei. Everyone so worry, they worry that you may hurt mei mei, but mummy doesn’t seems to have any worry at all, coz I trust you, I know you will love your mei mei very very much.
When we back from hospital, you have chance to sleep close to mei mei and this is how you call mei mei,
Kaitlyn girl
Mei mei girl
So sweet, you even add a word girl at the back
As and when you hear mei mei cry, you will quickly tell mummy and you will go to mei mei at the top of your speed. So I am sure you will gonna be big kor kor to Kaitlyn, protecting her. And everyday, you must see mei mei for a short while before you go to bed and sometimes when mummy nurse mei mei, you will cuddle beside us, I guess you misses the ME and YOU breastfeeding moment huh! Yesterday night, you lay on mummy’s chest for a while, and it makes me misses our bonding time too. So, I hugged you tight for a while and that’s our few mins ME and YOU time, the different is this time there is no breastfeeding activity going on, haha!
Kelvin, you are such an adorable baby to me. You are my baby forever and ever!
Love,
Mummy

Tear-less hair cut
We bring you for haircut on 19th Oct, it's a long overdue hair cut. On our way to the hair saloon, mummy keep telling you that we are going for hair cut, and you reply me "ok", and also, mummy reminded you that you are big boy now, so do not cry when the aunty cut your hair for you, again, you responded, "ok"
When we reached the hair saloon, there is one jie jie having her hair cut and daddy brought you to see the fishes. After a while, it's our turn, you choose to sit on the chair by yourself, and YES, you are very corporate with the hairdresser. No tears, no fighting, no screaming. About 5 mins, all done, we walked out from the saloon happily! Good job, baby!
