Cow at Home

My breast milk supply have been tremendous. I don't know if it was my diet or that I'm naturally a cow! I could express up to almost 12oz (360ml) in a single pump. Now, that's a record!!!

Stocking up at home

On a Sleepy Friday Morning

My tongue is thiiiiiiiiiiis long

"I'm sleepy, Mommy"

Play time with Po Po

Tummy Time

I've been trying to get Baby Isabelle on her tummy lately. By the second session, she managed to lift up her head and even turn from one side to the other. I'm so proud of her progress!

Trying to lift her head up

Can you see her putting in the effort? Hehe...

All up!

Resting

Careless Mommy!!!

Baby Isabelle was asleep one night when I was changing her. I decided to cut her finger nails as it was already very long and getting sharp. As I was cutting her fourth finger, she suddenly jumped from her sleep and wailed so loudly in pain. I knew I had accidently cut her flesh. It bled profusely for about 10 minutes or so. She was in such pain and so was I. My heart froze and I couldn't help but cried too :( I know now I'm not cut for this. It is really a surgeon's job! Over to you Dr. Peter!!

The damage done...

Baby Isabelle's First Outing

After a month's work of hard core cooking, I decided to give mom a break and treat her to a nice japanese dinner. We went to Jogoya at Starhill, KL for I know they have the widest selection of everything under one roof. It was also Baby Isabelle's first outing. She slept the whole nite thru, allowing us to enjoy our scrumptous dinner :)

All set for the nite - Po Po, Mommy and Baby

We all went home with a happy full stomach :)

Baby Isabelle's Full Moon

Baby Isabelle is finally 1 month old! During a baby's full moon, there are a couple of things which is customary to follow in order to be blessed with good health, good luck... the list goes on!! Also gave away gift packs to family and friends.

Now you know Baby Isabelle's sleeping posture is inherited from who...

Mom preparing my morning bath



I had to bathe with 2 types of water - floral and ginger. I believe the floral bath is to make you smell good since during confinement, you don't get to shower at all (but I did... every alternate days! hehe...). The ginger bath is suppose to remove "wind" from the head. Hmmm....

Preparing Baby Isabelle for her first haircut - "Botak" style! Look how much hair she's got!!

"What? Botak?? Nooo...."

At the salon - 3 generations

There goes!

Baby Isabelle looks like she's enjoying her shave

All done. The final work of art

"Do I look funny to you?"

"I think I look better with a beanie"

After shaving Baby Isabelle's hair, time for her floral bath
