teething

Turns out that Emma is teething! Though dr. Lineus said it's a little early but there goes...she's teething! No wonder she's been putting her fingers a lot lately. Emma will soon be having teeth! so excitedddddd...

no eczema

look look..Emma has no eczema, thanks to her anti histamin hahahahahahahaha so while this lasts, I'll take lots of pictures of Emma :D

annoying eczema

So..being Francis' daughter...Emma is bound to be allergic to many things :( I took her for her 4 months immunization the other day and dr. Lineus told me that her nose block might be caused by allergic reaction, which was triggered by her flu! So he gave her anti-histamin which also clears her skin eczema (apparently caused by her saliva and many other things) and He suggested to use Mustela cream...and asked me to apply some advantan cream for a few days then continue with my existing protopic cream, which apparently is mild enough for baby's skin. I've tried so many creams for Emma but so far, I think Mustela is quite good because it's quite moisturizing and has a lot of water content too....he also suggested hydrolotion (need to google it)...I HATE ECZEMA!!!!! :(

emma's flu

Last week was hell! Our Emma was and still is sick!! All because of meeeeee...I caught this terrible flu after a tiring WIC Bazaar (I guess carrying Emma with a sling for 2 hours wore me out). She's been waking more often at night and had a bit of temperatures for the first 2 days. I took her to the doctor and she was such a good girl, she was actually a happy sick baby but I think because we've spoilt her by carrying her too much...she now becomes a cranky baby!!! Oooo She finally turned 4 months :) and ready for her next immo.

wic bazaar with a baby sling

Last week, Women International Club held a bazaar at JHCC and Mom got a few invitations from her friend, so Mom, me and the maid with Emma went to the bazaar and just before we left, I chatted with Catherine online and offered her to go and she happened to be interested...so she came with her in law, siew huey, hugh's mom :). Anyways... I was carrying Emma using the bubzilla sling, because I thought it would be troublesome to bring her stroller. When I first bought this sling in Brisbane, I found it very difficult to use because Emma was so small and I was afraid of dislocating her soft neck bone. But now, her bone is stronger and I find it very easy to use and very practical if compared to Combi's Ninna Nanna (I bought this as well and find it very difficult to feed her when I carry her, plus Emma usually gets cranky as I try adjusting the straps). I think this bubzilla sling cries for attention :) because a lot of people would stop me (at WIC) and say how cute Emma is (something that doesn't happen too often when she's in her stroller) and of course asked me how UNCOMFORTABLE she looked (she was sleeping and her head was all the way in)...but I think she was happy and comfy, coz she was all asleep at the bazaar :D

Anyways...WIC Bazaar wasn't as big as INACraft ( I LOVE INACraft ) but I did finally find 5 QUILTERS!!! SO HAPPY! and I found a lady who gives quilt lessons and Catherine and I are starting our first lesson tomorrow :) yay!

finally a full turn

Emma can finally make full turn...I think it was on Sunday :)...so if I leave her just a moment, she'll do a full turn by herself...so dangerous...must watch out for her more!!! Oya...so sad...I just fired my new nanny...she was very good...very clean...very very diligent too :( but, when I took her to the lab to check her hepatitis B, she's a positive carrier :'( so I had to let her go!

my new curiosity

Yes...I have a new curiosity in handicraft: Quilt Patchwork!!! (last time it was knitting, ha!) I've always liked quilts...and have been looking for a beautiful quilt that would take my breaths away...but none so far :(...So, I decided...maybe I should make my own :|...but I can't even use the sewing machine nor am I good at sewing...plus...I'm not a dedicated handicrafter, I've always stopped half-way into making something...even less than half, actually...

Anyhow...I found these cute patchwork books from Kinokuniya today...too bad they're in Japanese :( and last week, also bought a book on how to sew and a book on quilting techniques...fingers cross...
