i was a happy baby on sunday morning. had my milk and was watching mama read the papers. then of course, true to my ellis genes, i had to strike up a conversation. mama talked to me and played peekaboo with me.

mama got an even wider-grin picture of me that she took on her phone-camera. she sent it to aunty V and .. aunty V said i had "hamster cheeks".

i seem to be accumulating nicknames .. chunky monkey, hamster and mama calls me "pork chops".

lie-in with mama

we all woke up early one morning and decided to have a lie down on the sofa.

touch .. feel ..

Mama brot me to a TCM centre yesterday. my nose is still giving me problems and it has been a while already. Aunty Kristy, mama's friend, recommended this baby massage (in Chinese, it's tui-na) and said it helped her daughter alot when she was a bb. The physician said I had a sensitive nose and dust & fluff affects me. Anyway, her assistant gave me a massage on my left hand & arm before massaging my front and back. I gave the assistant a hard time yesterday. Today, I was a lot more cooperative altho it was hard to keep still. Mama had to keep talking to me and I was good enough not to lick my lips for milk !!

Anyway, I have one session to go, on Thursday. I have to be massaged 3 times first before deciding if I needed to continue. I hope my nose clears - it's hard to suckle on Mama's breast when my nose is blocked !

sniff sniff

sigh ... i had to see that doctor again. my stuffy nose didn't seem to be getting better and doc suspected i caught another round of germs. had that awful tube sticking down my nostrils again. oh boy .. i wailed !

anyway .. i got weighed again :) hee hee .. i am now 4.4 kg at 6 weeks. quite an achievement isn't it ?? aunty vivian called me a hamster on sunday becos of my cheeks. hmmpf ! i don't care .. i enjoy my milk on tap.

my big bro

This is a picture of me and my big brother. He wanted to carry me this morning so Mama put me on his lap and asked him to hold my head up. hmmpf ! Of course he didn't so I wasn't too pleased and made it known.

Anyway, my big brother loves me alot and thinks I am really cute. What more can I, this little brother want ???

a look of content

i had to visit the PD twice last week to get the mucus sucked out of my little lungs. not pleasant experiences. anyway, i am happy to report that i weighed in at 3.5 kg on my first visit and four days later, 3.8 kg. yup ! i managed to gain lots of weight already .. from my puny 2.65kg.

i've acquired the double chin look and according to mama and dada, living up to my name of chunky monkey.

I am nearly 1 mth old

I am nearly a month old now. :) Mama took me to the PD today to have a look at my noisy nose. :( it wasn't a nice trip. The doctor stuck a thin tube down my nostrils and sucked out a whole lot of yucky stuff !! And that is supposed to make me feel better.

Anyway, I got weighed and am now 3.5 kg. Hee hee .. that's nearly a kilo I've put on since birth. Mama says I've got a double chin and chubby cheeks.

哥哥Nigel and I celebrated a special occasion yesterday. He celebrated his 5th birthday whilst I celebrated my first month. We had a cake each :p.
