Out in the real world

Tadaaaaaa! My first full tummy turn. I finally did a full tummy turn yesterday...woohooo! After weeks of practising, I finally got it right. It wasn't as difficult as it looks to be but for a small lil person like me, it is indeed a great achievement. I just turn on my side and swing my leg to push my body on my tummy...you should give it a try! It was all chikinfeed once you have gotten the hang of it. Ibu was soooopaaa-excited to see me did this that she screamed for everyone to come and see me. I feel like a star. I'm practising my tummy turn now to improve the turning time but Pati just asked me to be quiet while changing my poopoo-filled diaper. Just last week, everyone was encouraging me to turn and now they're asking me not to do it. Adults are soo contradicting.

Ayah and Ibu brought me out for a bit of shopping at CompassPOint yesterday. Pati also accompanied us and she bought lots of new baby stuffs for me from Kiddy Palace. The Kiddy Palace at Compasspoint has many many pretty lil toys and my eyes lit up the moment I entered the place...afterall it's a palace for lil people like me! After a while, all the glitter failed to impress me because my eyes were already half-closed. I slept on my way back and woke up when I reached home. My crankiness set in because I didn't sleep enough in the day and only slept after Nenek lulled me to sleep. Definitely no more longgg shopping trips for me.

Bik Rosi came to Pati's house to meet me yesterday. Pati told me that Bik Rosi is ibu's friend. She's a bit funny. Everytime I flashed my toothless grin, she laughed hysterically. So I did it again...and again...and again. And she laughed even harder each time. That's so weird. She brought along some little person. Her name is kak nana...as in banana. She's pretty kind and offered me a sip of the Strawberry Caprisone she's drinking. I would drink if Bik Rosi didn't see me though....aargh. The best part was when Bik Rosi gave me this red coloured note...it tasted like $$$. I like!

I had my first MRT trip from Simei to Tampines yesterday! I know it sounds ridiculous, but it was like an adventure to me. Before this, I only took taxis and Uncle Azhar's car. It was also my first stroller trip outside the vicinity of Pati's house.

Me, Ayah and Ibu waited for Tok and Pati at Eastpoint. Ibu tried putting me into the stroller but I squirmed and screamed. I still haven't gotten use to lying down on the stroller yet and very much prefer to be dokong'ed. hehe. Ibu had to dokong me till I fall asleep. Tok and Pati were already there when I woke up and I saw this monstrous train zoom by. Ibu pushed me on my stroller into the train and I continued munching on my fingers and the pacifier. It was a very very short trip. We reached Tampines before I could finish munching all of my 10 fingers.

After realising that I was in the stroller and not in Ibu's arms, I screamed again for Ibu to carry me. Since I was not in the stroller, Pati put all the bags in and we went to Kiddy Palace. At the end of the brief shopping trip, everyone went home. After sending us to Pasir Ris, I watched Ibu and Ayah buzz off in the taxi to go back to Bishan. I had my bottle of milk and slept like a baby *waitaminute! i AM a baby!* I was sooo tired from all the jalan2 and the morning conversation I had with Ibu and Pati yester'nite. When I was still awake at midnight yesterday, Pati told me to sleep because she was sooo tired but somehow I felt refreshed. I actually wanted to walk around the house but the house was quiet which means Aunty Zah and Atok were already asleep. Even Pati was half-asleep already! I eventually sleep after Pati gave me another 60ml of milk on top of the 150ml I had 2 hours ago. *burp!*

Ibu and Ayah are here with me since yesterday. I'm definitely enjoying myself because I got more dokong trips around the house and the around-the-clock hugs and kishes. Ayah even let me 'explore' his face, feeling the stubbles on his chin, pulling his ears and trying to gouge his eyeballs. He wasn't angry at all. Maybe I should try pulling the eyeballs a bit harder the next time round. :D

I finally poop today after 3 days of no-poop! Pati took a look (and a whiff) at the 'final product' and say, 'Bushuknyerrrrr!'. lol! Wow..that's definitely a record for me. Everyone was worried about me but I didn't have any tummy ache. Ibu asked me why I didn't poop everytime she called me. Well, I don't have that urge to poop, Ibu. When it comes, it comes...something like that. heh. The prune juice helps afterall. Pati has been giving me 1/4 a teaspoon of prune juice daily now to stimulate my bowel movements. I want more but Pati won't let me have it more than that or I would have the uncontrollable urge to poop...eek! I wouldn't like it if it happens. But I just love the taste of prune juice...sweet and yummy!

When I woke up this afternoon, Ibu and Ayah were gone...again!
:( They were here yesterday and this morning. But it wasn't so bad actually. Tok and Pati brought me out for a stroll downstairs. The playground sure looks fun but it's for little people who can walk and run already. :P

I didn't know I had to take my jab today till I felt a sharp pain on my left thigh. I cried momentarily but it didn't really hurt after Dr Pradeep put a plaster on it. Anyway Dr Pradeep told me I wasn't growing well. :( I only gained 0.5kg since last month and weighed 5.7kg. Ayah told me that I must drink more milk. I think I lost a lot of weight when Ibu introduced me that Nan-H1 milk. I didn't really like the taste and didn't finish up most of the time even at nenek's house! I have already switched back to Similac and I'm drinking more now. Maybe I should consider changing my diet and start eating! But Ibu read that babies can start eating semi-solid food only in the 6th month onwards. That's like 2 more months to go. *sigh~*

Happy Birthday to meeeeeee!
i'm 4mths today.

What can i do? I wail louder now. Pati can attest to that. hehe.

On our way to fetch abg amin from school today, Pati puts me into my stroller with the cover half-closed! I was already in my jebik mode when she took a peek. I jebik because I couldn't see her through that cover! And when she tried consoling me, I wailed! Yes, I practically cried my lungs out. But my mood changed when I saw Abg Amin. But Pati had to put me back in that stroller again!! I wailed again...this time even louder. By now, I am un'pujok'able (if there's ever such a word) even when Abg Amin tried to poshot2 me. I cried all the way to nenek's block. Fortunately it was quite a short distance and I didn't lose my voice afterall. heh.

I'm also still trying really hard to turn now. Well, give me a couple of weeks more and I shall master the art of turning to my tummy...so fast that you will see me on my tummy in a blink of an eye. *chuckles!*

I didn't go back to Bishan last Friday because I kept passing green poopoo...again! It's probably because of the new milk, Nan-H1, which Ayah bought for me. Someone recommended the milk because it's supposedly to be good for babies with phlegm. But I don't quite like the taste and didn't finish my bottle almost everytime. So it's back to Similac once again because Friso is causing me to have phlegm and I don't really like the taste of Nan-H1 *bleargh*. Sounds confusing, isnt it? hehe.

I enjoyed my bath time very very much. I love the bubbles, my funky hairdo when it's all wet *giggles*, the splish-splash of water and the taste of water on my tongue (though they do taste a bit funny!). :D

I love to jalan2. And I really mean jalan2. If the person carrying me stops a while, I will kick my legs in the air as a means to signal that person to continue walking. Or if that person 'act blur', I will give my loudest wail. That works most of the time.
