First Birthday Celebration - 16 December 2007

Mummy had sewn a dress for you.
Baked cupcakes instead of ordering a birthday cake, invited many to come enjoy the food.
You were quite a good girl as long as you are in my arms.
Tried your very best to be a pretty princess.
You did not let others carry you for long, you did not throw tantrum either.
Everyone said you looked adorable in the dress mummy made.
There are a lot of presents and Red packets.
Thank you, Mummy!

More teeth - 3 December 2007

The top front teeth are out and the top right incisor is also on its way.
You have been grinding your teeth when its time to sleep and it kinds of irks Mummy.
Hopefully, you will stop it soon.


Rashes on the face... one side is cleared up while the other is still rather red.
At times it will get a little infected and that bothers Mummy quite a bit.
The elbows, knees, thighs and calf area also started to sprout small blister-like rashes.
Hopefully with the medication from the doctor's it will be controlled.
Mummy had stopped taking peanuts as it could be the ultimate culprit for the large breakout the last time.
On top of that, the detergent for the floor may also be another culprit.
So that would mean more to be done after cleaning the floor with the detergent...Mummy has to go through again with just plain water.

Whatever it takes to ensure that the rashes do not appear anymore.

Another tooth is sprouting - 13 November 2007

The top right tooth is sprouting so there has been sleepless nights.

There are also more painful nursing since you love to chew... OUCH!

And not to mention that you like to remind mummy that it is time for weight lost by biting on my bulging tummy.

Unfortunately, the rash on your face has not cleared and two small patches appeared on the other side.

Also, your left ear was not spared too.

Then on days when the weather is hot, rashes will break out all over your body.

It hurts to see you scatching away and being a grouch when the temperature goes up.

A happy song for Averlyn

Mummy made up a song as you have been rather cranky.

Averlyn is a happy baby,
and a happy baby is she.
She will smile.
She will laugh ... ha ha ha
She will chuckle ... hee hee hee
when we are together.
Averlyn is a happy baby
and a happy baby is she.

Upon hearing this, you will stop crying.
The power of a happy song.

New tooth - 19 October 2007, Friday

About a week ago, the second tooth made an appearance.
Hence, Mummy got more bites from you when I am nursing you.
You also managed to bite Mummy on the tummy just for the fun of it.

Other than a new tooth, there are new things you have learnt.
You have learnt to wave goodbye to people that you know.
And, you will insist on sending Daddy and your sister to the door when they leave in the mornings.
You started to slap your head recently and that got Mummy a little worried.
After a few times, Mummy realised that you were trying to send out a kiss while saying goodbye.
It can be rather amusing to see you slapping your head whilst trying to send a flying kiss.

Music... it is something that can perk you up.
You will start to "dance" when you hear the music start.

Crawling is not something new but you sure had become better at it.
You like to crawl to the bedroom to look for your sister while she is doing her homework.
Your loving sister will always carry you back out into the living room.
However, you will relentlessly crawl back to the room to look for her.

Babbling Baby - 26 September 2007, Wednesday

You have been very "talkative" now.
Your repertoire of sounds is increasing and the frequency of hearing you "talk" is higher too.
"Bah bah bah"
"Mah mah"
"Aieeee"
"Dah dah"
You also love to "chit chat" with us.
When I mimic your babbles, you will reciprocate with.

You have also learned to sign for "milk" and "no more".
When singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars", you may (when your mood is good) also do the action for the stars.
Clapping hands is also something you have started to do more frequently.
The most recent one would be you waving your arms around. It may refer to "bye" or "hello".

You like to exercise... in other words, you will pull yourself to stand up against the sofa or the coffee table.
You even attempted to climb onto the coffee table to reach for your favourite remote control or my ball of wool (really wonder whether you are a kitten by nature).
