" Mummy slowly"

I am into final 40days of my preganancy, can't wait for the baby to be out! I am getting bigger each day and getting up from the bed every morning is no longer as easy. I have to slowly move to the right position before I can get up. Qi Ning is very much aware of mummy's clumsiness and she take it upon herself to remind mummy to be careful. :) Nowadays, every morning when she see me trying to get up from bed, she will remind me "mummy slowly". It used to be hubby who does the job, now my little girl has taken over the job! :) She not only will remind me to be careful but also remind me to pray for the baby and smooth delivery. Each night when I pray for her, if I didn't pray for baby, she will remind me and if I don't ask for smooth delivery, she will remind me to pray for smooth delivery! So sweet my girl.
As of last week, Dr. say baby weight about 2.1kg. Hubby is worried that baby might be too big for natural delivery and he kept reminding me to watch up on my food intake. I am hoping for natural birth this time round as I had C-section with Qi Ning due to poor progress. Qi Ning was 3.7kg as a newborn, don't know how heavy this baby gonna be. Wanna guess? :)

Two years old birthday celebration

My princess turn two yesterday. Mummy took a day off and spent time with her. She is very happy to have mummy staying at home with with her. Her birthday celebration started on Saturday. We had a simple celebration for her last Saturday. The guess are all her favourites auties and uncle from church. The most enjoyable moment for her was the cake cutting session. When we brought out the cake for her, could see her face lighted up(will post all the photos later)! We all sang birthday song for her and could see she was grinning all over! After the song, she blew off the candles without any help and can even cut the cake! That night, before we sleep, I asked her if she was happy, she answer with a grin and say yes. I guess it is worth all the effort to have the little celebration just for her on Saturday!
Yesterday was her actual day for birthday. She shared the same birthday as Shirly jie jie from church, so the two families decided we would go out for dinner together. Before dinner, we took Qi Ning to IOI mall and let her have some fun at the carousel. She enjoys it as usual.
Uncle Yap bought two birthday cakes. One for his daughter (Shirly) and one for Qi Ning. Again, the highlight for Qi Ning is the cake cutting session. Imagine she sees two cakes in front of her. One with so many candles and one with two candles. She is just so delighted. Is easy to keep her happy, she don't demand much.
I am really glad to have Qi Ning as my daughter, she is such a blessing and joy to us.
Happy Birthday to my darling Qi Ning. Mummy loves you always!

Birthday party & Clown

On Saturday, I took Qi ning to a friend's daughter, Charmine, one year old birthday party. She was excited about going to the party. We gave her the birthday present to give to Charmine. She was holding it in her hand all throu' the car journey. I was afraid that she might not pass on the present but she did when she see the birthday girl!
All was well till we see the clown! Qi Ning was afraid of the clown! My friend specailly hired a clown to entertain the kids but Qi Ning would not participate in it. She was clinging to me the whole evening, hiding her face from the clown! If I attempt to bring her anywhere near the clown, she would cry. She even wanted to go back home immediately after seeing the clown! She told me she is scared of the clown. So instead of joining in the kids for the games and magic show, she joined mummy on the table for food. She was attarcted by the music and the laughter of the kids though but just refused to join in the fun.
When it was lucky draw time, the clown calls out her number, I took her to the front to collect her gift, she still refused to look at the clown. She cling on so tightly to me. But near the end of the party, she sort of warm up a little to the clown. At least she don't mind stand at a distant and look at the clown and line up for her baloon! I guess what she enjoy most during the birthday party is the time when we all sing birthday song to the birthday girl! She was happily singing and clapping her hands.
Seeing that she enjoyed the birthday song part, mummy decided that we are going to have a simple birthday party for her as well coming Saturday. I think she will be happy to have people gather around her to sing her birthday song!

"No, thank you. I eat a lot already!"

Is amazing to see how the vacabulary of the little one expands each day. Lately, I notice Qi Ning can really talk like a big girl. This is what happened during dinner time when she is being offer dishes that she don't really fancy.

Me: Qi Ning, you want to have somemore?
QN: No, thank you, I eat a lot already!

When she is being offer food that she likes (eg ice-cream, chocolate biscuit), she will request for more even if she just tell you "no, thank you, I eat a lot already!" When you asked her isn't she full, she will say "no, still hungry!"

A mother and daughter outing

I don't usually bring Qi Ning to sleep over at other people's house. But since she has indicated that she would like to stay with my brother on Sunday, so on Wednesday night, I took her to my brother's place and spent a night there. It is just me and her, without hubby and maid.
My youngest niece (Xin Rou) especially is thrilled to have Qi Ning sleeping over as she is about one and a half year older than Qi Ning. With Qi Ning around, she is no longer the youngest and can be a jie jie for a while! When it was time to sleep, all of them wanted to sleep with us. So end up the two younger one sleep with Qi Ning and I. Qi Ning was excited as well she didn't sleep till nearly 10.30pm. Her usual bed time is 9.30pm but since is a "holiday", I let her routine slip a bit
The second day (i.e Merdeka day), we went to Shangri-La for hi tea. My little girl sure know how to enjoy life! She could sit in her high chair quitely and wallup the food nicely. Mummy is pleased because that mean mummy can also sit down and enjoy her meal! :) She had a slice of pizza, some chicken, ice-cream, grape and strawberry. She also enjoy running around the pond with her cousins. Come to think of it, she didn't eat that much but was playing with the food! It was mummy that ate and ate! No wonder when it came dinner time she was hungry! Mummy just had some fruit for dinner.
I guess she was tired from all the fun and excitements from the previous night and also all the running round in the hotel, when we left for home at about 2.00pm( also passed her usual nap time), not long after the journey, she was happily zzzzzzzz away in her car-seat and slept on till about five in the evening! That night, we also settled her down early. By nine, she is in her dreamland already. This morning she woke up a happy girl. Waving and kissing mummy goodbye when mummy had to elave home for work!
It is good to have mother and daughter outing, think I should do that more often with her! :)
