Sick!

Poor Claire... She is down with flu!

Her running nose starts on Monday. Whenever she sneezes, her green snot will come out!

She was very cranky for the past 2 days and she refused to sleep. She needs us to be around!

Pray that she will recover fast! Flu bugs go away and stay away from Claire!

PS: Felt so guilty, she must have caught a chill either from her swimming session or due to the cold airconditioning in Bugis Junction over the last weekend.

10 months old!

Claire turned 10 months yesterday!

What did i do to celebrate her 10th month old?

I trimmed her hair and i think it will grow back nicely in time for 1st Birthday celebration!

Now, she looks like a boy with her short haircut and i think she cried during the haircut as she saw that she looked like a boy in the mirror!

That's Claire with her new hairstyle!

Some new things about her:

1. She likes to jabber more to herself!
2. She knows how to say "Pa Pa" & "Ma Ma" but not specifically to us.
3. She can stand momentarily & is attempting to stand without any support.

The best part, she knows how to crawl away when its time for her water parade!

Her 2nd Swim

We bought Claire for her 2nd swim last Saturday!

This round, she was expressive as compared to the stoned look she had on her 1st swim!

She was very happy to be in the water, she knew how to kick her legs and not as tense as before.

When we removed the float from her and thrust her into the pool, she was afraid for a while but she lost her fear when she started to lick the water!

That's my Claire!

PS: Photos to be uploaded when i got it from my cousin!

First Swim at a real pool!

Last Saturday, i bought Claire to my cousin's condo in Seng Kang to utilise the baby pool!

Pirate King didn't go with me coz he got recalled back to office last minute due to a server failure. Being the lazy Mummy, i dressed Claire in her Ralph Lauren blue swimsuit (a gift from my Sis) and with the Kate Mack terry bathrobe i bought for her in an US spree, so that she can head straight to the pool once we reached the baby pool!

Unfortunately, it was raining on my way to Seng Kang and the water is slightly cold. I tot it will be a damper again but we brought her to the pool. As the KKH pd told us that its strictly 15minutes for Claire in the pool, i have to keep track of the time!

When we put Claire in the pool, she gave us this stoic look. We tried ways to entice her to smile but she still gave us her signature stoic look. So, i pushed her around in her float and 5 minutes before time is up, this cheeky gal of mine started to scream & smile!!!

She loves the water! Too bad there is no photographs to show as my cousin can't find her camera!

Thank god, Claire did not cry when we thrusted her into the pool! I will bring her more often to the pool when possible!

Changes

Last night, I realised the change in Claire.

There are so many changes in Claire from the day she is born till now and the most significant one i will say is her sleeping pattern.

When she was just a newborn, she won't sleep at night and will be awake during 1-3am. During this period of time, the confinement nanny will just carry her and tried to lull her to sleep.

In the period when she is 2-4 mths old, she needs to be carried and lull to sleep. Pirate King will sing the Jungle song to her while i sung my Sweetie Pie song. She will look at us with her eyes and listen intently to our singing till she dozed off.

From 6mths onwards, she doesn't want us to carry her or required us to sing any bedtime songs. She will just need us to sleep besides her and let her hold on to our finger or looking at us intently with her sucking on the pacificer before falling asleep.

The only thing that remained unchanged is she still need someone to accompany her till she falls asleep.

That's my Claire and I will always miss the days when her little hand clung on tightly to my finger and singing the Sweetie Pie song to lull her to sleep.

Fortunate Gal!

Sis came back from SF this morning and she bought lotsa clothes for Claire!

The clothes that Sis bought from SF are not cheap and after conversion back to SGD, she has bought SG$200 worth of branded clothings for Claire.

The brands are Ralph Lauren, Baby Gap & Osh Kosh! I was just telling Claire that i dun even have a Ralph Lauren Polo tee for myself!

Claire seems to know that the clothes are for her and she s behaving like a vain pot. She gave us bright smiles whenever we placed the clothes in front of her!

The best part is she took a while to recognise Sis (Sis was away for 3 weeks plus!) Once she knew Sis is her favourite Yiyi, she flashed bright smiles at Sis and not forgetting attempting to play with her!

Claire is really fortunate to have so many people doting on her. Sis told me that her colleagues had to literally dragged her away and refrain her from buying any more clothes for Claire in SF.

As for me, I gues if ever i have the chance to go to SF, i will go crazy on a buying spree!

PS: Gotta bring Claire out swimming in her new Ralph Lauren swimsuit!!!
