7.5months old

I am now 7.5 months old.
As always, am a happy and cheery baby.

our new helper, Auntie Elizabeth and I!

So far, Auntie Beth seems really a good helper for mummy and us!
With a good helper, Mummy can arrange more activities for us and at least when Mummy sends Kor Kor Asher to school at Bibinogs, there is someone to look after me. :)

Sometimes Gong Gong & Po Po want to take Kor Kor Asher to stay over at their place...
when will it be Ayden's turn? Anyway, since Kor Kor is with Gong Gong & Po Po, Mummy took the opportunity to bring me and Grandma (Wai Po) out for high tea at Merchant Court Hotel.
It's my first high tea!!!

zzz by the river...;)

It was my first try on the hair chair too

Mummy & I

I want adult food!

zzz by the river...

see! I am pulling to stand on my own at every opportunity these days!

watching TV with my Kor Kor..

Everywhere I Go oh...
People always say I am such an adorable baby!! :D *shy shy*

Our new "Auntie" is great! (so far)

Mummy is pleased with our new Auntie so far...
She is always available to takeover Baby Ayden me 8 plus in the morning when Mummy needs to send Kor Kor Asher to school.
The laundry would have been done, the floor swept and mopped.
There is hot water to make milk for Kor Kor and the other necessary.
When Mummy comes home with Kor Kor at 12 plus, lunch is always ready without fail and Auntie Elizabeth is a fast worker who picks up things fast and follows instructions well.
Most importantly she dotes on me alot...she will put down whatever she is doing and rush to tend to me whenever she hears my cries, or when I awake from my naps.
She even cooks dinner for us too!

We spent a good two weeks without and maid, after Mummy sent the crazy maid back.
Mummy took care of us... ...

Mummy bathing me...

playing with us

Kor Kor giving me a yellow ball

Kor kor doesn't seem to like yellow...

he is always giving me the yellow blocks, yellow balls...

other colors he will not want to give me...

Ayden crawling in action!

Mummy I want a water bottle like this too...

Asher: Didi, is the sword yummy?

Asher: Let me try

Mummy likes to see both of us playing together in harmony...
Occasionally we do have slight problems over toys and mummy's attention....
but mummy does not get too worked up over it and wants us to learn to share and play together... ...

i am 7 months old!

I am 7 months old.
Starting to eat porridge occasionally, but still eat Cerelac, brown rice cereal and Heinz most of the time.

I have a pair of teeth at the bottom row...
Still not much hair...
Nails grown super fast...
Crawling well...
Pulling to stand...
Still wakes up like every 3 hours for milk in the night...
Using the learning cup well...

Mummy is not as detailed in my growing up blog as compared to Kor Kor's...
and she hope I will not blame her in future...
hmm...

When I am upset and angry...I really am!!!

;p

tip toe tip toe...

hey hey...

Kor Kor telling me to be careful....don't fall down..

kor kor...sometimes u love me so much especially when I first came...

but why nowadays you like to beat me leh?

especially my head... :(

Now we are maid-less.

And Mummy is "job-less"

Mummy sent the crazy maid Auntie Cora back to the agency on 28th Jun. It was so dramatic.

Crazy maid. We even had to trouble mummy's colleagues to come to our "rescue".

Thank you Uncle Christopher, Auntie Irene and Auntie Cindy!

The next day, Mummy tendered her resignation at Tan Chong. Hmm...all for us, for the family.

Hopefully we find a great auntie soon...

Happy Birthday Daddy...Mummy is not a superwoman

Happy Birthday Daddy... ...
but mummy doubts you will ever read it anyway.

"I'm not your superwoman...I am only human..."

I try to be strong, stronger and stronger... ...
I try to be a good wife, good daughter-in-law, good daughter, good sister, good mummy... ...
but it seems like i have never really succeeded...but failed. failed terribly.

Both pregnancies and many things big small...i almost went through it just like a single mum...
i knew you didn't want it to be that way too.
I try to be understanding to all your tiredness, all your difficulties...
I try to be as independent as I can be...
whatever unjust I had to go through with anyone, i always put you at top priority...having no wish to put you in a difficult position...
No matter how tough the road ahead may seem, being married, I always thought a hubby will always be the pillar of support mentally, emotionally...

There are times I am so lonely, so tired...so mentally and emotionally drained.
BUT i am always alone.
I am just a woman afterall...
There are times I need a shoulder to cry on, a big warm hug... ...
where are they? I am just being left ignored, left alone, left on my own.
There are times I made my messages clear that I am not your superwoman, but just a stronger, independent woman who still needs your love, care and concern and help.... ...but your reply was...the capable one gets more tasks...even the stronger, independent woman has been slowly killed by your silence and nonchalance over the years.

i guess you will never understand why it is a difficult time for me now...
you will never be able to love me how I thought I will be loved by...
My genuine smile and laughter are beginning to leave me...bit by bit...
I am terrified... ....
terrified of losing them forever.

Why have I put in so much effort but for nothing?
i am scared... ...to reach the day when i will just throw the white cloth and surrender...

but i am only human...i am not your superwoman.
I will one day admit defeat to your silence, your nonchalance.
I am just not that strong afterall...just a woman, not a superwoman.
just alone still.
