12 Months Old: 28 Jul 09 to 27 Aug 09
We brought Jez to trim her hair as her hair is getting long. We celebrated Jez's 1 yr old birthday at our house on the 25 Jul 09, slightly earlier than her actual date. This time we invited lesser guests as compared to her full mth celebration. We ordered a 60 pax buffet. We would like to thank those who spent their time with us to celebrate this special occasion with us and thanks for all the presents. I ordered a cute Baby Minnie cake and specially bought a Baby Minnie outfit for Jez to wear as she's born in the Year of Rat so she's a baby Minnie too. I hope everyone likes the cake & the buffet.
1 week after we celebrated Jez's bdae, she actually started to become sick. Initially, she had cough & mild fever. Later on, she had flu. After another week, her cough & flu got a little better but she started to have fever again... I remember on National day, after we watched the NDP parade, she had fever. I gave her medicine and her fever subsided. But after a few hours later, the fever came again. This repeats about 3 times and I became very worried so the next day, Wilson's sis brought us to KKH to see doc. Doc said that she had viral infection and fever will come & go for abt 5 days. I felt quite helpless and scared also, especially when Wilson is not around. Luckily, my mum is at hm with me. On the 5th day, she still had fever so my bro's gf drove us to KKH. She had blood test, urine test and X-ray. They said that she had bacteria infection. So they gave her antibiotic, only then, she got better. However, the antibiotic had side effects. She had diarrhea and vomited about twice. The whole process lasted for almost 3 weeks. I'm super glad that she has totally recovered now.
This month Jez had another great achievement, to sit up by her own on 4Aug09. Altho' she was sick, but she kept on practicing whenever she felt better. I also taught her a new hand signal for 'No More'. Whenever, she finished eating her porridge or drinking her milk, I will say 'No More' and she will do the hand signal by turning her wrist. She can understand things very well. She can already differentiate who is Mama, Papa, Ah Gong, Ah Ma and Popo. When we say 'Where is Ah Ma?', she will turn & look at Ah Ma. When we say 拜拜, she will look at the 神台.
Jez likes to sit in the walker very much, cos she can go anywhere she likes... She's considered slow in her motor skills. Sometimes, I will put her inside the playpane and she can usually stay inside for abt 30mins so that I can do some other things and need not worry that she will injure herself.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 11 Months Old
11 Months Old: 28th June 2009 to 27th Jul 2009
Baby Jez weight is abt 7.6kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 6 & half oz of milk each time. There are 1 cereal & 1 porridge feeds or 2 porridge feeds each day.
Baby Jez has learnt quite a few things this month. She is able to do hand signals for 'twinkle twinkle little stars'. She will open & close her fingers when we sing the song. Also, she has learnt to do fly kiss. When we say 'Hello', she will get the signal to do the phone call action, to put her hand beside her ear. She also learnt to do 伤脑筋, she will place her hand on her head & pat for a few times when we say 伤脑筋. We actually regretted teaching her 伤脑筋 coz she actually pat her head quite hard sometimes. She can understand right and left hand. She has also learnt to say "Ne Ne" for milk. She has learnt to open & close bottle caps. One thing very dangerous that she has learnt is to crawl out of the walker. Now, we have to keep an eye on her whenever she's in her walker. This month Jez has to part with Mama again as Mama has to leave for Xiamen to meet Papa for 15 days.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 10 Months Old
10 Months Old: 28th May 2009 to 27th June 2009
Baby Jez's weight is abt 7.5kg.She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 6oz of milk each time. There is 1 porridge & 1 cereal or 2 porridge feeds per day. There is 1 night feed.
Baby Jez has totally stopped sucking the pacifier, great achievement.
She has learnt to clap her hands. I remembered when I first taught her, I hold her hands & show her how to clap. Only after a few times, she is already able to clap herself. From then, I realised that I can start to teach her many other things.
Later on, she oso learnt to wave her hands meaning 'Bye Bye'. She can also do "Peekaboo'. When we say "Peeka.....", she will cover her eyes with her hands then she will open up her hands and see if we said "boo".
Baby Jez starts to wriggle more this month. She will crawl using left hand & left leg to push herself further to get the things she wants. She is also trying very hard to sit up by herself.
Altho' she's considered slow in crawling/walking, her legs aren't weak at all. Her legs are actually quite 'powderful'as she kicks very hard. If she is unable to fetch the things she wants, she will also use her legs to grab/hook the things. She is definitely making full use of her legs.
This month Baby Jez has to part with Papa again. As Papa needs to leave for Xiamen, China to work. This time, we can sense that the bond between Baby Jez & Wilson. Whenever, we do videocall thru' Skype, we can see that Baby Jez is very happy and she will respond to Wilson.
'Baby Jez, press the button.'
'Baby Jez, move the gear.'
One sided wriggle....

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 9 Months Old
9 months old: 28th Apr 09 to 27th May 09
Baby Jez's weight is abt 7.3kg. She needs to be fed every 3 hrs, drinking 6 oz of milk each time. There is 1 porridge & 1 cereal feed per day. There is 1 night feed.
On 30th Apr 09, we heard Baby Jez call Mama for the first time, it was clear & loud. Maybe it was just an coincident, we did not really hear her call again subsequently. Baby Jez celebrates Mother's day for the first time. We went to Forum shopping centre, I tink she enjoys the day more than me as she saw many toys in Toy'R'US. We had Tim Sum for lunch & Seafood for dinner that day. Thanks to Jez Papa. Heehee...
Baby Jez is getting naughtier. She will throw temper or even shout if she's unhappy, or if she want someone to carry her go walk walk... She will even choose who to carry her. If she doesnt want to let you carry, she will beat your hands and turn her face to the back. While we were having our meal, we need to find something for her to hold to entertain her. Or else, she will refuse to sit & wait for us to finish the meal.
She can now sit steadily without much support. However, it is still impt to 'jaga' her while she's sitting as she will juz lie dwn anytime. We also tried not to give her pacifier when she's going to slp. 婆婆 was the one who started to try, and indeed, Baby Jez can slp without her pacifier. Thanks to 婆婆. I always thought it will be difficult to stop her from sucking her pacifier. From then onwards, we will only give her if she's really cranky.
Baby Jez also learns some hand signals like shaking her hands which means 'Bye Bye'. I also taught her how to clap hands. Surprisingly, she picks up quite fast. When we say 'clap hands', she will put her hands together to clap.
Baby Jez likes to sleep with her pillow covering her face. This is exactly what I'm doing also. Heehee....
Everyone likes Baby Jez's feet very much when they see her. Coz her feet will keep circling when she's excited or happy. Also, her feet is considered small cos both me & Wilson's are small too.
Baby Jez really perspires alot. Sometimes, I direct the fan straight at her, she will still perspire & the sweat will flow dwn drop by drop. Just like her Papa!
We found 4 new teeth growing this month. 2 front teeth on the upper jaw & 2 front teeth on the lower jaw, heehee.... :)

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 8 Months Old
8 months old: 28 Mar 2009 to 27 Apr 2009
Baby Jez's weight is about 7.2kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 5 and half oz of milk each time. 1 Cereal and 1 Porridge per day.
Baby Jez gets to swim for the first time on 10Apr09 at Ziyan 干妈's hse. We can see that she felt abit insecure when i put her in the water. However, a few minutes later, she started to play with the water... Altho' she did not really get very excited, we can see that she's enjoying herself and she knows what's going on. She did not cry for the whole 15mins session. I believe she likes water activites alot just like her Papa, will try to bring her for swimming more often...
Baby Jez starts to snatch things from her cousins now. She can be quite fierce sometimes. Ah Ma bought Baby Jez a mini piano and she likes it very much. When her cousins touch her piano, she will push their hands away. In order to stop her selfishness, I will purposely ask her cousins to touch her toys while she's playing so that they play together... However, kids are just kids. It's still a long way to teach her the correct values...
It is now very dangerous to leave Baby Jez sitting on the infant seat alone now. She will put both her hands at the side of the seat and push herself up. If nobody is monitoring, the seat might just turn over. I will only put her on the infant seat when she wants to drink milk as she is now able to hold the bottle and finish all the milk.
This month I have to leave Baby Jez for the first time to go to Abu Dhabi for 9 days to meet up with Wilson. We came back together on 25Apr09 and Wilson's sis actually brought Baby Jez to the airport to welcome us. Wilson is really happy to see Baby Jez. On the first day, Baby Jez doesnt really want to communicate with Wilson. However, on the second day, after much playing with her, she somehow can sense that this man is different from others and started to get along very well with Wilson. Heehee....
Baby Jez can sit more steadily now for 5 to 10 secs, with both her hands supported in front.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 7 Months Old
7 months old: 28 Feb 2009 to 27 Mar 2009
Baby Jez's weight is abt 7kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs and is drinking 5oz of milk each time. 1 cereal/porridge feed per day.
Baby Jez gets to sit on the walker for the first time on 7 Mar 09. It was a saturday and as I was also having video call with Wilson, he also managed to see Baby Jez first time sitting on the walker, exploring the buttons, and moving around the living hall. I'm glad that Wilson saw it. Even though, he's in overseas, I still hope that he can be very much involved with Baby Jez's development. Baby Jez is very excited to move around in the walker. She will keep pressing the music buttons and rolling the ball attached to the walker.
On the 18th Mar 09, Baby Jez actually called 'Papa' for the first time. Sounds weird right? Why is she calling Papa when Papa is not even around, should call Mama first mah... Hahaha.... Maybe becos we do keep saying 'Papa' to her so as to keep on reminding her about Papa and also she hears her cousins calling their Papa everyday. Ah Ma, Ah Kor and Ah Pek are the first ones to hear her call Papa. That morning, everyone was shocked to hear that she called Papa. It was loud and clear and repeated many times. Ah Kor got excited and brought out the camera, wanted to video down. However, Baby Jez became more attracted to the camera and stop calling. Luckily, Ah Kor still manage to capture her saying 'Papa' once after a long wait. Subsequently, I also keep hearing her call 'Papa'. Sometimes, she called very gently and it sounds really sweet. Too bad it's too difficult to video down as she will juz call out of a sudden.
We gave Baby Jez porridge again this month. However, she still seems to prefer cereal than porridge. I think it is because cereal are sweeter. She likes sweet stuff and that explains why I like to eat sweet things when I'm pregnant.
On the 22nd Mar 09, Baby Jez's number open 4D for the first time. Her weight 3215 open under the starters and it's very lucky of Ah Gong and Ah Ma who both strike. Baby Jez is able to turn to the left quite smoothly now.
She is also able to sit with her hands supported in front but it will only last for about 5 seconds.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 6 Months Old
6 months old: 28 Jan 2009 to 27 Feb 2009
Baby Jez's weight is about 6.8kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 4 and a half oz each time. One cereal feed per day. There are about 2 night feeds. Her hair is about 2 inches long but many people still say she looks like a baby boy.
I discovered Baby Jez's first tooth on 28 Jan 2009, which is also the first day of her being 6 months old. It was found on the top right gum. After the first discovery, there's no other tooth found until end of Feb.
Baby Jez likes very much to use her index fingers to touch, dig or scratch things. When she's about to sleep, she will also keep touching her own fingers, as if thinking why all the ten long objects can move differently at the same time.
We also heard her say 'mum mum' this month... Hopefully, she will say 'Ma Ma' soon since both are similar.
She also starts to eat solid food and the first solid food that I gave her is porridge. However, later on I realise it's better to give her cereal first as I'm afraid that the porridge might not be soft enough for her to swallow. Baby Jez loves cereal very much. Whenever she sees the bowl, she will get very excited and keep on kicking her legs as she knows that it's time to eat cereal.
Baby Jez managed to turn to her left on 22 Feb 09. However, crawling is still not as easy for her at the moment. I believe it is also because I did not let her crawl on the playing mat whereby there's more friction and can assist her to climb. Baby Jez will try to reach out to anything that appears before her eyes. If she sees it, she will bend her body & stretch out her hands to get it. She's very attracted to toys with music. She likes to play books too. I brought her to the community library in Sengkang Compass Point for the first time. I only gave her a mini book and she actually played with the book for 1 hr, just by touching, turning or scratching the book. I taught her how to open the book and turn the page and within minutes, she is already able to turn the pages herself. She gets very excited by the pictures & colors inside the book and she becomes talkative, as if trying to tell us what she saw in the book.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 5 Months Old
5 months old: 28 Dec 2008 to 27 Jan 2009
Baby Jez's weight is about 6.6kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 4oz of milk each time. There are about 1-2 night feeds. Her hair is about 1 inch long.
Baby Jez has to part with Jez Papa this month as he has to go to Abu Dhabi to work for 3 months. I felt quite sad actually, especially because Wilson will not be able to celebrate Baby Jez's first CNY with us. We miss him very much and look forward to see him in Apr 09.
Baby Jez celebrates her first CNY this year and she's happy to receive Ang Pows. She will grab hold of the Ang Pow & play with it. I think she's attracted to the colour & design of the Ang Pows. On the first day of CNY, Baby Jez collected a total of $178 of Ang Pow. So coincidently, 178 is also our block number. Heehee....
Baby Jez also gets her first visit to Ikea Tampines and Jurong point this month. She is able to hold her bottle steadily this month. However, most of the time, she is biting the teat rather than drinking water from it. Baby Jez is still not able to climb. She will attempt to climb but it doesn't seem easy for her. I will let her practice more often in the following month. Hopefully, she will be able to climb by the time she turns 7 months old.

Baby Jez celebrates her first CNY this year and she's happy to receive Ang Pows. She will grab hold of the Ang Pow & play with it. I think she's attracted to the colour & design of the Ang Pows. On the first day of CNY, Baby Jez collected a total of $178 of Ang Pow. So coincidently, 178 is also our block number. Heehee....
Baby Jez also gets her first visit to Ikea Tampines and Jurong point this month. She is able to hold her bottle steadily this month. However, most of the time, she is biting the teat rather than drinking water from it. Baby Jez is still not able to climb. She will attempt to climb but it doesn't seem easy for her. I will let her practice more often in the following month. Hopefully, she will be able to climb by the time she turns 7 months old.

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 4 Months Old
4 months old: 28 Nov 2008 - 27 Dec 2008
Baby Jez's weight is abt 6.2kg. She needs to fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 4oz of milk each time. There are about 1-2 night feeds.
We brought Baby Jez for a haircut in this month. The old folks say either cut the baby's hair during their first month or fourth month. We brought Baby Jez to a neighbourhood salon to shave all her hair. Surprisingly, she did not cry at all. I was actually preparing for her scream. Heehee.... We all feel that she looks good in her 'Botak Head'. As her hair starts to drop in the 3rd month, we can see holes ard her head which is not nice. After the shave, she looks much better. She has a round & nice head and I feel that she somehow looks like the '一休和尚' (a cartoon character).
Before her haircut, we brought her to the photo studio to take studio shots. We are entitled to 1 complimentary 5R portrait as I took up a photo package at the hospital after I delivered. She was very excited and not scared at all. When the auntie at the studio tried to make her smile, she was very happy and laughing away. It only took us abt 15mins to take 2 shoots, 1 family portrait & 1 Baby Jez solo portrait.
We brought Baby Jez for shopping almost every weekend during this month as Wilson took a break from dragonboat & he does not have any training during weekends. Baby Jez gets her first visit to many shopping centres like Suntec, Milenia Walk, Great World City, Takashimaya, Wisma, Bugis Junction, Marina Square and even Kallang and Changi Airport all 3 Terminals.
Baby Jez also celebrated her first Christmas this month. She received lots of presents from many uncles & aunties. Most of her presents are clothes. Wilson also bought her 1 Baby Gap top & 1 Polo Ralph top during his M'sia trip as Christmas present.
Baby Jez is now able to put her pacifier inside her mouth correctly. In fact, she loves to play with her pacifier. She will turn the pacifier in different directions, keep looking at it and biting it in all directions. Her saliva is still drooling continuously.
On one occasion, I happen to let Baby Jez hold a pen and she seems to be a left-handed. Since Wilson is a left-handed, it's possible for her to be a left-handed too.
Baby Jez attempts to crawl too, first attempt seen on 14th Dec 08. She will start to get angry and frustrated when she finds herself not moving after trying & trying to crawl. It can be seen that she's quite impatient actually. We didnt really let her practice her crawling frequently. Thus, I think it will still take some time before she can really crawl.
She is also able to hold her both feet now. Holding her feet has become a form of exercise for her and I think she feels happy to have something new to do.
Baby Jez also attempts to hold the milk bottle and drink water herself. First attempt is seen on 27th Dec 08. Altho' the length of time that she hold the bottle is quite short but it's still an achievement in the 4th month.
