Picnic at Botanical Garden Putrajaya

During Hari Raya break we didn't balik kampung, we took the girls to Putrajaya Botanical Garden for a picnic. Qi Ning have read many books on picnic and have been talking about going to picnic with me many time. I have been telling her I will take here picnic till now. So here is just a lazy mummy style of picnic. Sandwiches, potato chip (Qi Ning's favourite) , hotwater and all the three in one drink, milo, coffee and also campbell instant soup mix! hehehe. To be healthy, I included some celery and carrot stick! Daddy prefer to have maggi mee on the cup so we brought that for picnic as well. I purposely bring along the red table cloth for picnic as well. See Qi Ning and Qi Yu looking on as my friends lay out the picnic goodie!

Since is a garden, with plenty of space to run about, a beach ball for Qi ning to run with is a must. We did lots of walking round and eating as well. We went there quite early and went home about eleven just before the hot sun at noon. When we were first there there were hardly anyone but as we leave, we saw more people around.

Such easy and yet enjoyable trip for kids to enjoy their day. We all went back for a good snooze that afternoon after all the walking and running! :)

Three classic of Phuket

We went to Phuket for a holidays early this month (1-4 October). It was Qi Yu first trip on the plane and she seems to like it. Nowadays when we ask her how the aeroplane fly, she would stretch out her hand and make the "ogu..." sound. This time round, Qi Ning was a bit frightened as she saw the buildings and things on the ground become smaller as the flight takes off. I guess her imagination just run wild. So for the whole flight journey, she was not able to rest well. On the way from the airport to the hotel, she had car sickness when the car starts going round and round up the hill. So first day in Phuket we didn't do much just stay in the hotel. Qi Ning had fever that night and was vommiting. Second morning she was ok so we went for city tour but half way through, she is not well again so we went back to the hotel and get her to sleep. On the third morning, she wakes up well and we went to the beach. Both of them had so much fun. The evening we booked to go for the Fantasea dinner and show. We only spent an hour or so at the ebach and went back hotel for the kids to sleep so that they will be well rested for the night events.

While they slept in the afternoon, we all take turn to go for our traditional thai message. It was good. Took the girls for a swim at the hotel's swimming pool. They both enjoyed the swim.

The Fantasea show is grand and the place is kinda of like funfair. Too bad our camera run of memory so didn't take many photo at the Fantasea. Saw baby tiger drinking milk from bottle while tourist take photo with them . This of course has to pay lah. I kesian the baby tiger because the keeper would shove the milk bottle into the baby tiger's mouth and let the tourist hold it n take photo. Elephant rides are also available there.

If you miss the Fantasea you miss Phuket so the saying goes. So I am only posing the momento photo, one on the aeroplane, one on the beach and one while at the Fantasea!

Sendimental

I guess Qi Ning is quite a sendimental girl. Whenever she come across a sad song or story she would tear easily. Few night ago, as we were getting ready to bed, she was singing the "小燕子”song. As she was singing I notice that her eyes suddenly turn red and I see tears flowing down her check. Hubby quickly hug her and she said she so sad。
The song is about a little swallow who seem to be homeless and not was not sure where is the papa & mama swallow and the little swallow was crying.
I think this little girl of mine begin to think of herself as the little swallow. So hubby has to quickly comfort her and tell her that we both loves her and her home is in Bukit Puchong. Such sendimental girl she is.

Over due- 11mth old

Well, Qi Yu is 11month 1 week plus old now. Mummy wanted to post a belated milestone and a recent photo of her and mummy when we were at Phuket for holidays. The photo was taken on oct 3, four day before her 11 month. We were having buffet dinner at the Fantasea show compounds in Phuket. More story of that later.

At 11mths, these are some new happening with my darling Qi Yu

- two more teeth on the upper jaw

-can pull herself up and stand without support

-will follow simple instruction such as clap hand, give the book to Mummy etc

Emotion wise, she is not so stanger shy nowadays. At least she don't cry when she see stranger now. But is still reluctant to let people hold her. Only those who are close to her is allowed to touch her but at least she don't cry now, she just hide her face from people that she don't want to "see". She knows who is who by name. When we call out a name, she would sometime point to the person or at time just turn her eye towars the person. She is beginning to be a copy cat, copying what her jiejie is doing. She seem to be able to judge if people are angry with her by people's tonation. Whenever I rise my voice when she bite me during nursing, she would cry. Sometime I was not even scolding her, was just telling her in a firm tone. She would starts tearing pitifully!

She seem to be very aware of her surrounding. She knows when we were on holidays and try to wiggle out of her routine nap during our recent trip to Phuket.

Food wise, she is still fully on breast milk. Her milk in take during day time has increased to 7 ounce a day. And is still nursing throughtout the night. She loves solid and like to eat whatever we are eating. When she sees us eat, her mouth will start moving and will pull my hand that is holding food towards her. She will be saying "mum mum". Weight wise she is still around 8.5kg and height wise she looks taller but I have not measure her.

Her bowel movement is regular nowaday. During the day time, I am starting to toilet train her for 2-3 hours a day but putting her to the potty on a regular interval and she seem to be doing ok. So sometime, if I am taking her to do grocery shopping or to the church or 1-2 hours trip, I will not put her on daiper and she is doing fine thus far. Of course got accident lah one or two time but I am quite happy with the success rate thus far.

She is quite a happy baby and I love her smile but she can also scream so loud. That's my baby Qi Yu, whom love dearly!

Qi Ning Birthday Photo

Mummy has been busy lately so hasn't been up to date in posting. Here are some picture of Qi Ning 3 year old birthday photo and brief up date of my girl's development. The first photo was on sunday before her birthday. Uncle Yap bought her the cake to celebrate with all the September baby in the church. The other two was on the actual day, a simple celebration at home. She got what she want, a cake with strawberry decro!

At three, she is more conversant and really exert her independent. She is picking up more on her Mandarin and speaking more Mandarin nowadays.

She could color within the line now and she loves to sings and dance. She could sit down and read books on her own and tell story. She is learning to make up story line. Getting naughty as well. Hsd to be firm in discipline. She is showing the traits of human falleness and she knows. So somethime, she would pray that Jesus would grant her self-control.

Her favoutites things now are hair-clips. She wanna tie her hair in different ways and clip her hair with different types of hair clip. She would notice how other people tie thier hair and wanted to follow suite. She is really into wanting to be beautiful all the time and will feel jealous when other looks beautiful. Girl will always be girl I guess! May she grows more beautifully each day not only in appearance but in her character!
