New Toys: Four Phases

Posted on 11 Apr 201011 Apr 2010   by CY

There are four basic phases involved whenever Hannah gets oriented to a new toy. Here’s a case in point: we picked up a toy mobile-phone at Kiddy Palace @ Compass Point earlier today. The pictures below show the four different

Diva Queen

Posted on 10 Apr 2010   by CY

As Hannah’s grows each day, the both of us are on the lookout for new things and behavior we’re seeing coming out of her. It’s not just her vocal utterances, but also the way she perceives and wants to interact

Panasonic HDC-TM700

Posted on 8 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work

Hannah’s Blurb – Vol. 4

Posted on 7 Apr 20107 Apr 2010   by CY

I realized I haven’t done an updated entry on the fourth volume of Vita Una since posting about it more than a month ago here. The volume was titled Vita Una IV: To One that covered Hannah going onto one

Tired Mommy, Sickly Baby

Posted on 6 Apr 20106 Apr 2010   by CY

Ling was lamenting on our way home from work yesterday that she was starting to reconsider keeping Hannah at the Infant Care Center, and it’s down to one specific reason: the potential for our little one to pick up all

Hannah with E-PL1

Posted on 5 Apr 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

Now that I’ve had the E-PL1 for nearly a fortnight and used it with a third party flash unit for indoor flash photography, I think I’ve got a better feel for the camera, its utility and limitations. Oh yeah –

10 months!

Posted on 5 Apr 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah turned ten months old over the weekend in a mix of her usual cranky self and runny nose. The pinkish spots she had on her face are gradually subsidizing fortunately, if not completely gone. But since she caught that

Red Spots

Posted on 2 Apr 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

For the last 9.5 months now, Hannah typically wakes up on her own at about 7:15 AM every morning on non-school days, where she’ll coo to and play with herself first. That’s been a huge blessing we’ve been grateful for

Yummy Baby Foods: Salmon Porridge

Posted on 1 Apr 201019 Sep 2010   by Ling

After some trial and error with cooking solid food for Hannah at home, I have a small collection of recipes which worked (i.e. the dishes turned out to be delicious). They are so good that mommy steals a mouthful every

Sighs of Relief

Posted on 31 Mar 201031 Mar 2010   by CY

The both of us were pretty resigned to Hannah experiencing chicken pox earlier today, especially after hearing from friends and relatives, and also matching the pictures we were seeing online versus what we were seeing on Hannah. I mean, this

They come in twos

Posted on 30 Mar 201030 Mar 2010   by CY

I was at a meeting at work just before noon when I received calls from a phone number I haven’t seen before. No thanks to all those nuisance calls from banks and insurance companies I get all the time trying
