Anna attented Play School

Before I gave birth to Isaac, I had been searching high and low for playschool that take in kids at Anna's age (mostly i found are for 3 and above). Finally I found one in Mahkota Cheras, quit near by my house.

This playschool was organized by a church, once a week. Anna had so much fun at each session, every day she will ask me whether today go to playschool or "yee ma" (my sister) house . She skipped one session coz she having running nose. The following week when we go in to the school, she told me " Belle Belle soooooo happy " :)

The class start at 9.30am, kids will have free play till 10.15am, after that they will have a singing session follow by a snack time. After snack time, is a story telling, then kids will sing goodby song and go home (Now every night we have to sing goodbye song, holding hand and turn in a circle before send Anna to bed, bleh).

Anna was having so much fun there, and her sociallisation skill also getting better.

I really wish they will have one more session in a week. Is such a great joy seeing my little madam enjoying her class so much.

Anna & Isaac

Anna was really cheeky, whenever I open a new toy for Isaac, she will tell me that she want to try the toy instead of she want the toy, see how happy she was while "trying" new things.

Do they have the sister brother look?

Anna was "trying" the pacifier, she put it in her mouth for half a day. Whenever she talk/play, the pacifier come out from her mouth, and she will pick it up and put it in her mouth again. After few times, she decided to give it back to me and ask me to give to Isaac. LOL

Isaac was addicted to the sarong, he can spend few hour in it (is an electrical cradle, i do not need to swing him) I am glad that Anna is not keen to try on it, she found it very scarry when I try to put her in it thinking that she want to try this too. She still find sofa and cot is the best place to sleep :) Same manufacturer, but diffrent personality. Oh,  I really found they both are totally diffrent, Anna is a hot temper, impatient and cheeky, while Isaac is a very calm baby, even he is hungry, his cry was soft and he can wait till i get my things done, not like Anna, while Anna need to be feed at this age, she will cry her lung out, screaming, bawling,  she cant wait even just 30 seconds.

Anna, Milk Bottle & Formula

I had successfully breastfeed Anna till she is 13 months, but I had a very challenging time to wean her from breast milk. My first challenge was, Anna refuse to suck from bottle. I had many different type and brand of teats and bottle at my house, Avent, Nuk, Medela...None of it she takes. Finally she choose Pigeon bottle! (Slap my forehead!)

So, the first issue settled. Second, I had to find the right formula for her. Again, I had to ask around in the supermarket for free sample. Enfa, S26, Nespray, Dutch Lady ...Anna spilled out every single sip! Finally, I got her soy base formula, Isomil. This is the last brand that available in the market and yet had not been rejected by Ms Fussy. Thanks God, she accept it and finish the 8oz of milk for the first time. The weaning process took nearly a month!

After 2-3 months, I changed her to Mamil Gold, and glad that she just takes it and didn’t notice the changes.

My little madam never hold her own bottle. She wants me to hold her in my arm and feed her. But out of sudden, yesterday she took the bottle from me, and go up the sofa and finished her milk. Me and daddy praise her and give her a big hug. Guess she know her little brother is on his way, so she behave more like a jie jie now :)

Anna Hair Cut's Day

Yesterday I was staying home with Anna, after I fed her morning milk and breakfast, I brought her out to get her hair cut. This is her second time going to this saloon near by my house. The first time, she is fine, smiling all the way and really co-operative with the hair dresser. So, I thought this time will be the same ........

BUT.......This is what happened :

She cried from the begining till her hair cut done!

This is her new hair style :)

Sleeping Beauty

This is a back dated post.

Today when I open my photo album in my laptop, I found these 3 cute pictures. I think Anna was around 7-8 months old by that time. This picture taken when we having dinner at home, she was a bit fussy and refuse to sit on the high chair by herself. But me and my hubby were discussing something at that time and both of didn’t bother her much. After while, we both notice Anna was too quite, we turn our head and look at her, she was dozed off on her high chair! We let her sleep there till we finished our dinner :)

This is the second incident; Anna was in her walker playing around the house. She came to kitchen and look for me. By that time, she was very fussy and keeps raising her hand and wants me to carry her. But I am busy and with a pair of wet and oily hand. If not mistaken, I am preparing her dinner by that time. I just keep asking her to wait for a while knowing that she is very sleepy. I keep singing to her and try to get the things done ASAP. Finally I am done and ready to bring her to her bed (which I think is just like 5-10 min), and notice she already dozed off in her walker! I took her out gently from the walker, and put her in her cot. She slept soundly for about 1 hour in the evening.

Anna's Morning

When Anna wakes up in the morning, this is how she looks like :

Blur and lazy:

She will be sitting on the couch till i give her morning milk, then bread. This is what I normally feed her in the morning, wholemeal bread with butter or jam.
After her breakfast, she will be finally awake, and start running in the house. She will request me to turn on her favorite Barney show. She will bring the CD to me and said "Barney Barney, pis (please).....Normally I wont turn her down, but let her watch about 30 minutes or till her bathing time. At the same time I can have my breakfast peacefully.

Bathing time:

Anna Counting 123

Anna surprised me daily. She always shows me something new. This morning, when I am inside bathroom, Anna walked in and gives me her morning hug. Then she look at my pajamas, is a BIG-T with 3 kitty cats print. She points at the cat, and start counting 1...2....3..... I am soooo surprise; daddy and I quickly give her a big clap. 

Guess she learned this from Barney CD :)

 

Annabelle's Birth Story

This is my first post on my blog, and it will be a back dated post. 

Annabelle is my first and long wanted child, we had waited more than 4 years for our first baby. I had been through 2 miscarriage and 2 IUI sections. None of the treatment work for us and we had been thru many stressful test. After covered by a lot of prayers from family and friends Anna was conceived in a natural way.

I experienced terrible morning sickness for from 8 weeks till 14 weeks, instead of gaining weight, i lost 3 kg in first trimester. ( Well, by end of the pregnancy, i gained 2okg!!!!)

Anna was born through a C-Section due to my BP. My BP shoot up and even medication cant control it. My BP was 140/110 and my gynae decided not to take any risk, so Anna was born 2 weeks earlier than her actual due date.

Anna birth weight is 3.00 kg and 52 cm length.

23th April 2007 is the happiest day in my life :)
