Kai Ann is 16 month Old

This is Kai Ann, and I have found words, and can compose some way of communication into somewhat call a sentence.

I can identify quite a few things, including my own body. I can give command, and do it very well to everyone. I am very fierce, and if you don't listen to me, I will bite!!

I love music, and will hum anywhere anytime when I am happy, and I will dance, and yes I can dance very well just like my grandma!

Physical development wise, I can run, and can climb up and down the chairs and to the table and onto the high chair and back out through the table, stopped and dance on the table, and climb back down from the chair. Something that my koko (big brother) still can't do as well as I can! :)

Oh, and my favourite thing is my mama's nen-nen, I sometimes call her nen-nen, not mama! hehe!

Ok, got to go now, the sound of BabyTV is calling me!

Kai Ann's Birth Story

Kai Ann just turned 1, and I had realized that I didn't do her birth story! That is why people say you gave 100% to the first child, and the 2nd. one you just went along! Anyway, I better do her birth story before I forget the details!

Pregnant with KA was more complicated. I suffer from morning sickness for the first trimester, and during my 3rd trimester, I got Gestational Diabetes, and had to be on insulin. At 36th week, we followed had KA delivered by C-section.

We went to the UMSC early in the morning for admission, and paper works, the mid-wife monitor me with the CTG and everything was normal. We waited for the OT to be ready while Bro and hubby nodding away beside me bed. This time less chaotic, firstly because we were more "experienced" and secondly, this was not an emergency c-sect like KJ had, so everything were going according to plan.

Ronnie stayed with me at the waiting room at the OT while waiting for the Anesthetist to arrive because it was a Sunday, and I did not prebook her. Once in the OT, everything went smoothly, except my heart beat went up and felt the same suffocation when my right arm was not elevated slightly. It happened when I had KJ too. I requested to propped my arm up but they didn't allowed me at first, I did warn them, but not until I show sign of distressed and short of breath only they rolled up a cloth to elevate my right arm, and everything went back to normal again.

Prof. Eugene was very good with his work, getting KA out and stitching me up. This time I get to hold my baby and kiss her before she is wheeled out to meet her papa. Tears rolled down my eyes without me realizing it, till I felt the warmth of them.
Before me is the most beautiful baby girl in the world!
She was 3.4KG at birth, length was 48cm.

Welcome to the world little princess!It had been a wonderful 1 year, and we love you so much!

Miss Ladylike

Hello everyone, I am Kai Ann, my mama thinks I need to learn my table manners. What do you think?

Kai Ann is 8 month old-mama's entry

Kai Ann is turning 8 months old tomorrow, and I have just realized I am not doing a good job in keeping track of her development as religiously as I was with KJ.

Being number 2, she is a real survival. She is very manipulative, and smart. By 8 months old she has MASTER the skill of crawling, demanding, babbling, calling papa, mama, koko, and even popo! She is a very fast learner, and she is impatient to grow up. Right now she is working on standing up by holding on furniture. We are predicting that she will stand by 10 MO.

She is aware that all adults are twirled around her fingers, and she has got the eyes that twinkled and shooting stars, so she can get away from her mischief.

Below is how she uses her "charm":

Papa, this remote looks really nice! Can have it please? Puuurrrlliisss!!!

when papa said no, she gave him this look...

She eats very well, loves her solid, and most of the things I cooked for her she likes them. Her rashes is not totally gone yet, but is under controlled by me avoiding shellfish and duck meat. I have tried peanuts, and soy, and they are ok. So good news for me, I can have ice kacang, and satay again! Yipee!

A little note on her rashes, Hao Re's mama introduced me the Calendula cream, and it has work wonder! For mama with eczema babies, do try it!! Special thanks to Hao Re mama!

KA 3 months old update -Mama's Entry

Kai Ann is 3 months old, and she has grown so fast and so well! The recent check up show that she is now 6.9kg (no wonder my arm hurt so much from carrying her for just a few minute), and lenght 65cm. Comparing to KJ who was only 5.4kg, and length 57cm, she is on the 97 percentiles.

KA does not sleep much during the day, but she is very good at night, she wakes up once at about 1 am for feeding, and go straight back to sleep, and the next feed usually around 6am, and she will sleep till 8am, or until her brother wakes up.

Her favourite position is up right, she is a very strong girl and she is already sitting in the high chair to join us at the dinner table.

She loves moving around, and coo responsively to people who greets her. Laughing out loud is her latest acquired skills.

She rolled over once, and like her brother, didn't want to try again.

She loves the sea, and we have to take her for a swim every evening if weather permit. And the sea water is good for her skin. She is still having rashes problem, and her cradle cap is slowly reducing.

This little princess is a lot of work for mama, because she only want mama, but since she turn 3 months old, she is a little bit better, and starting to take her papa well.
