Poo-overloaded

 There is always this on-going bicker in the family on the topic of how to wear a diaper correctly. So far, none of us have reached a conclusion on that. The reason why this topic came about was because Kat is super difficult when it comes to wearing diapers. She would straighten her legs to the max and it would be impossible for us to stick on the diaper. To add on to the challenge, Kat has poo that comes like a bomb each time…so much that whenever she poos, the image of the Hiroshima bombing comes to my mind. A recent scenario brought back some thoughts of so e classic poo moments, so I thought of sharing…

Scenario 1:(quite some time back)
We were enjoying lunch at vivocity. Kat was happily sitting on mummy’s lap when I suddenly felt like someone burped on my lap, followed by a warm fuzzy feeling. I knew it was poo and very efficiently, I told daddy Kat that I would change her diapers. Just when I carry her up, I could see daddy’s face change….I looked at the brown spots on my light blue shirt and brown pants, blinked, look at it again and stoned. 
Of course I went to change her diapers after reality hit in and I knew I got to solve the situation. As ambitious we were, we continued shopping with my shirt and pants with wet spots after cleaning. 
Scenario 2: (on the plane ride back)
This is definitely the most dramatic plane ride ever! We were excited to come home from Kuantan on the small propeller flight. The plane took awhile to take off and Kat started squirming around like a worm. Hoping that I dont annoy anyone,  I held on to Kat tight…

Within seconds… the sound of Kat using her strength to poo came…..”Ng…..Ng……” and her whole face was red. Before I knew it, “ploop” and lil Kat was smily and calm again…….then…..I felt the warm fuzzy feeling again and the first thing that come across my mind was…oh-no!

So while the plane started to take off, I lifted Kat off my lap and there it was….the golden brown poo that glisten under the afternoon sunlight. I swear to God I was lost for reaction. All I did was laugh sheepishly while I passed Kat to daddy. I tissued off the poo and daddy had to hold Kat standing so that her soiled pants and clothes do not smear onto anything or anyone else.
Lil Kat on the other hand was having the happiest time playing with the uncle at the back seat. Oblivious of what she had done. Finally of what seem like thousand of years, the plane was stable and the seat belt signs were off. Daddy and I brought the rascal to the toilet to do an emergency change out. But to add on to the drama, there was no change board!!!!!
I was thinking…gawd!save me…..but daddy and I suddenly got possessed with super powers and swiftly and efficiently, we changed the soiled dirty Kat while carrying her. As the flight from Kuantan to Singapore was pretty short, by the time we were done and put Kat to sleep, we were already reaching Singapore…….what an episode for a first plane ride.
Well….flying poo tops the charts of the interesting part about having a baby….Thank God for Pampers (yes the brand), if not I cannot imagine how many more interesting poo episodes we will have with lil Kat.
Love this lil rascal to bits:)

My big little button

It never occurred to me that time flies until lil Kat was born. How fast u might ask? I hardly ever noticed until today when I looked back at her photos that I realized that my hamster looking infant is now a boyish looking baby….if there is ever a most handsome little girl award, Kat wld probably be one of the finalist.So here is a look back on her little journey so far:)

Gong Xi Gong Xi

Of course I wouldn’t miss updating lil kat’s first Chinese New Year! The 6mth old toddler’s favorite CNY moment would definitely eating ang bao!!!

(Hm….they look delicious!lets try!)
I don’t think it is even possible for a 6 months old to register what is actually an ang Bao. So for the moment, mummy is going to help this little button save it into her account for future use.
Mummy and Daddy also had a very happy new year. Both of us aren’t exactly in favor of CNY. But having lil Kat changed it all. It is another festive experience for lil Kat and seeing her fascinated by the atmosphere, put a smile on our faces…

 

 

 

 

Away we go!!

Lil kat’s first plane ride was today!!! I wonder if she know what had happened actually…considering half the acending she was drinking milk, and the other half snoozing in my arms….Nevertheless here are some wonderful snaps of my curious little girl when she is doing neither of the above and is full of curiosity…..:)

In case Kat manages to see this blog and ask me how was her first plane ride experience….well…..this is it…

(Mummy has no choice but to carry me while I sleep…awesome!)

 

Happy Kat on Happy Weekends

Kat’s favorite days you might ask? Just like the adults at home, Kat simply loves weekends. She enjoys going shopping with daddy n mummy, sleeps when we are having tea and loves getting amazed by simple things that she see along the way….

Mummy had to work this weekend. So Kat, por por m daddy came to pick me up. :)can’t believe I missed her so much even thou it was just a morning away from her. Sigh….. I must also add that maybe due to my colleague’s constant blabbering in the office when Kat was still inside my tummy, Kat gave her a usual smirk that she normally only gives to people she knows. I think she must recognize this auntie’s voice…hahahhahaa
Anyway back to weekends being her fav time. We were sitting at Jones the Grocer after church and it was a lovely scene to see daddy feeding Kat and amazing her with drinking his ice tea and fondling with her little socks….:) what a happy weekend……

Kat is very well loved

I always thought I will be giving Kat her first ang pao for her first new yr…..NOPE….and I couldn’t be happier to know that lil Kat is so well loved by not only her family, but daddy n mummy’s friends as welll…I say this not because of the money. Friendship n love can never be determined by money or ang paos, but it’s more like the thought of auntie grace remembering this little one. So much that mummy even feel v loved for Kat Kat….This little kid will definitely grow up to b a happy one:)

Don’t worry uncles n aunties ur ang paos will not be stashed by mummy or daddy. It will end rightfully in her little savings account.

Mine!!!!

Kat Kat has always been pretty quick in her motor skills. She has made a point to once again prove it last weekend.

Scenario: daddy, mummy n Kat having tea break at a restaurant….it was abt time for milk n kat’s eyes immediately brighten up upon seeing the bottle!!!! So after adding in all the powder n all, mum passes the little girl her bottle. Thou unable to open the cap, Kat was quickly trying to figure out where to put her mouth.
Well, she figured the wrong side of the bottle…but kudos to her for a quick first attempt and I believe it won’t be long till she holds her own bottle to drink….I’m a proud mama!

Mer-little Kat

Ta-da…..Mummy n Daddy Kat finally encountered Mer-Lil Kat yesterday. Kat was happily drinking her milk at 4am, finished it nicely and dozing off in mummy’s arms when………….0.0 she vomited the whole bottle of milk on the floor, mummy, mummy’s bedsheets, her cot…..etc…… and I wasnt exaggerating with the 0.0 face…

As happy-go-lucky a girl she is, Kat was extremely calm with the whole situation. All she did was, frown->vomit->smile->fall back asleep…..oblivious of all the commotion that was happening around her.

Daddy woke up after hearing my aiyo-aiyo-aiyos……and saw the disaster……and his first reaction u might ask? it was 0.0…hahahha

At the very least, we were very efficient in clearing the mess after the disaster. I swiftly changed sleepy kat’s clothes, diapers and put her back to sleep while daddy mopped the mess n clean the table. So despite the huge drama in the middle of the night, all of us were back in our respective beds within 15mins.However, we forgot the part that both Daddy n Mummy couldnt sleep after that and poor daddy was even awake for another 1 hr before he got back to sleep.

Lesson Learnt from Kat = be calm n steady no matter what happens. Sleep is more important.:)
