My lil big girl...

Sean just put G to sleep. I looked at how he cradled her and rocked her to sleep. Her legs stretching way past his ribs. She used to fit so nicely in daddy's arms. On one arm even. Now she's sprawled out of his arms. My lil girl is growing so fast. Tears welled up in my eyes after seeing how far she has come. She was a tiny fragile thing living in an incubator for the first month of her life. Now she's big.. Healthy and doing us very proud with the things she does everyday. She's mine and I'm so proud to call her my daughter.

We all love you so much Gwyneth. More than you can ever imagine.

Long overdue post

It's been far too long since I last blogged. Mainly because I changed to Samsung and the blogger app doesn't seem to work very well. 


Time is passing by too fast... It's now feb and Sean and I jus celebrated our 1yr wedding anniversary 2wks ago. Soon G will be 1 in 2mths time! Excuse me while I burry myself under my blanket and cry! 


These are some old pictures of G... She has definitely changed a lot!! Amazing how fast and how much they grow everyday.













































































Now G is turning actual age 10mths on Sunday when she jus turned corrected age 7mths a few weeks back. 


Milestones so far: 

-she can crawl very well! Started abt 6mths CA 


-she is now able to pull herself up n stand up 


-she's eating veri well too!! Started her on solids at CA 6mths just after a visit to her speech therapist. Initially I started her too early and she rejected solids like mad. I was so worried she won't start eating!! But miraculously after 1 visit to her speech therapist she started eating a lot and at a very fast pace too. Whatever u give her she eats! Plain porridge... Sweet potato porridge... Sweet potato... Pumpkin... Avocado... Apple... Quinoa porridge... Sneak some cake... Icecream... Soy icecream and all too! Haha she loves icecream !! 


-when you reach your hand out to her.. She will grab it and pull herself up to stand

Think that's about it... I've been trying to upload this post for months!! Fingers cross it works

6mth old check up (4mths CA)

Wow havnt blogged in such a long time. I guess nothing much has happened. Everything has been doing so well with G. 

On the 3rd of November G went to sgh for her pd and physio appointment. She's currently 6mths and 21 days (CA 4mths and 10days old as of today). But her pd and physiotherapist says she's reaching her milestones faster than her corrected age (which is the age we use to track her milestones). So developmentally she's a 4-5mth old. Which is super awesome!! So proud of my smarty pants lil girl (: 

Milestones: 

-able to sit up on her own for a lil while 

-reach out for toys 

-reach upwards for toys dangling down 

-able to use her hands (at a 60segree angle) to support herself while on her tummy 

-stand up with assistance 

-she's able to focus on her daddy's shrimp tank and is interested in it

-she giggles more often 

-loves looking at herself in the mirror 

And she went for her first swim at the pool on the 2nd of nov!! She loved it so much! Can't wait to go on our weekly swims (: 

Shall post her swimming pics up soon! 

6mths (3mths 19days) milestones

Happy 6mths my lil pumpkin!! 

She's now exactly 6mths actual (3mths 19days corrected). All these milestones were achieved prior to this date so that means she's progressing faster than her corrected milestones. So she's like in between her corrected and actual age in terms of milestones. 

-sit up on her own (with the support of pillows and she won't fall over/with little support from us)

-she's able to hold her bottle 

-she's knows how to pull her bottle out from her mouth when she doesn't want to drink 

-she loves tummy time now 

-she can flip from her back to tummy... Tummy to back 

-she's able to lift her butt up (in preparation for crawling) 

-she now kicks her leg while on her tummy (in preparation for crawling) 

-she can lift her head up pretty high 

-she's too big for her 3mths clothes... But too small for her 6mths clothes 

-she loves her hands; loves to suck them and make smacking sounds 

-she can grab her toys and put them in her mouth 

-able to grab things (eg: chopsticks) and holds them for a very long time 

-she laughs and talks ALOT 

-she replies you when you talk to her 

-when u prop her up with pillows and she slides down... She attempts to sit up by using her tummy muscles to get herself up 

-went for her first baby spa swim 

-and just today she learnt how to "fly" (refer to second picture!) her back muscles are so strong and when she's up in the flying position her legs will automatically straighten, arms straighten too! Hahaha super cute 

This is her attempting to use her abs to sit up properly! Like a boss this one 

Mummy's sweet lil angel (most of the time when she isn't screamin her lungs out). I love you so much and nothing will ever change. 

Oh wow it just hit me... I've been breastfeeding for 6mths!! WHOOOO it's my celebration milestone too!
