Been some time since I last post.... as I been bz... being a temp sahm haha...

act having two kids now wasn't at all bad when I try to take care of them during my leave. in fact, they can play with each other (provided I put them in individual play pens... dun ask me... ;p) alone while I do my chores

anyway, to update Gemma growth while I got the spare time now...

She is able to stand b4 she reach 11 month... bravo! we didn't even teach her or notice...

in fact now at 11 months plus, she can stand quite steadily... n now she trying to climb into mini cars n her own bouncer... she really adventurous... each time she manage to get in n out herself, she give her wide cheeky grin...

I still bf her but my supply is getting really little... it not abt the time but prob I not eating much lo...

I realise she picks up things v fast by observing us. The other day we are at the cashier paying... she snatch my money from me and pass it to the cashier to our amazement...

gemma can stand on her own!

B4 Gemma turns 11 mth on 14 June... she can actually stand subconsciously ot consciously... this week, she can as usual use some support to make herself stand first then let go the support and stand for a few good sec b4 dropping... Congrats!!

She is faster than her bro in this aspect... but her tooth em... still not spout out,... only one bottom tooth can be seen nia... haha... but she eating well n happily... so not to worry la... :)

Last wkend, while Jasper was playing with mei mei... he suddenly walk up to her and whisper to read mei mei a story book.

Then he say he want to carry her (assuming he wans to bring her to those stacks of books...) and who knows, mei mei really stretch her hands out for him to hug! amazing. then Jasper try to carry her... so cute.

of cos I explain to him he still too small to carry her and came to mei mei rescue... hum...

Before I forget, Gemma has started to point, yes point very accurately. She did it so well and perfect. And when she wants us to go to some place, she will pt to us to bring her there. However she still have not utter her first word... still woo and ahhhs... very cute. She like to scream to get our attention. but of cos her scream is those not loud and irritating kind. Hard to ignore them. *smile

Gemma is sick this week. At first Jasper have running nose for abt 2 days and stop and we separate them to sleep in different rooms but then rgt after Jasper recover, we saw Gemma started having mucus...

After having running nose, she started to cough.

In fact, she was coughing so badly that she vomited some food out after eating, and take less solids. She will cough until got tears... so poor thing. Last nite finally can bring her see doc and if she still not well or have fever by this week, she hae to be on antibio...

she is really v light weight... even doc shock ... ooo... only 7.19 kg... light light... I went back to check the chart. she is abt 10-25% percentile range. at least she still in a range... luckily...

Last week, I was posted to site office in Jurong island. Worried that the "site air" is no good, I have make up my mind to throw away the expressed milk I pump during ofc. wasted but at least peace of mind. To min the wastage, I pump only once at abt 12.30 p.m. then I will try my best to wait till reach home then pump, not forgetting to bath first...

However since I pumping lesser and some days pumping in the toilet, sad to say, my supply has dipped drastically only 120ml for abt 6 hr sometimes.... hopefully I can endure till she reach 1 year.

Bbs can understand after all...

Gemma still to understand wat I talking even though she can't talk yet. for eg, she claps when I ask her to... then when I call out her name, she also turn to look at me...

She seems to be on lower weight (still haven't reach 8kg) than her peers but her mobile skills are very good. Anyway she growing so guess she on petite side which is good for a gal hehe....

This sunday was maid off day again and we beginning to be able to cope with bringing the two kids out ourselves. It was not so stressful as the earlier days.

I also find Jasper is able to walk more when he goes out w/o the maid! though he tends to want to carry too, I always try to encourage him to walk and then I will carry him later. It works for most times. but sometimes when he is clever as in he will run to daddy for hug! at least now my hands are not aching and I shouldn't complain.

In fact, meal times was better today. Probably Jasper like his porridge even though there were no toy cars for him to play but he ate his food happily (after I first coax him too, prob the first taste he like it and so he continue...) Hubby had a harder time cos Gemma hated her rice cereal and was whining while she ate. haha anyway she managed to finish her food still. But she like her apple puree breakfast earlier. It was one of the rare time where I can eat my food w/o worrying that I need to feed Jasper or Gemma.

The whole day we tried to spend time in shopping centre as it was raining. We felt lucky as intially we planned to go to zoo today...

anyway I feel Jasper has grown up alittle though he still doesn't say "sorry" when he is at fault. He rather action like sayang us or mei mei. just today Gemma refuse to sit in the pram and kept jerking her bottom and crying her lungs out... so we ask Jasper if he could sit first and he agreed. at these times like that, I feel Jasper was understanding.

He can be quite "manager" kind when he get us to do things,... haha just today he took a spoon and gestured it to mei mei and say "mei mei eat, come eat" haha... as if he knoe how to feed her...

Gemma is also very attached to me now... as if I have an invisible magnet in my body. Whenever I am around, she would want me to hug. If not, she will make many whining sound... when I carry her, she will giggle and smile at me... so sweet...
