After a storm

Posted on 13 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

One thing that’s changing around The Rivervale is that Hannah’s pair of lungs are getting, well, healthier by the day! Right after birth, when she was in one of her moods, all that we’d typically hear would be whimpers. These

Slumber

Posted on 12 Aug 2009   by Ling

My sleep pattern is largely determined by Hannah since the day she arrived. In the first month, I was extremely sleep-deprived. Hannah required breast-feeding round the clock, every 2-3 hours, every feed lasting an hour. Take away meal times and

More Hannah photos

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

We didn’t watch NDP on the TV – Hannah wanted her dinner. So I occupied myself taking more pictures – but this time with the Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. This is the cheapest lens in Nikon’s line up, but is

Hannah on ND

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

The weather looked better on National Day, so we planned to head to Punggol Park to take some family photographs. We had everything nailed down pat – timing, equipment and baby things to bring along. Unfortunately, the most important subject

Feeding, Burping, Reading

Posted on 8 Aug 2009   by CY

Ling has a established pattern when it comes to Hannah’s meal times: it’s feeding, then burping, then reading. I’ve been wanting to try out the Sigma 24-60 mm F2.8 EX DG lens too that I bought last year but haven’t

Baby on the Go

Mum’s birthday is coming in a few days’ time, and Jasmine was planning to celebrate the occasion at what’s turning into a regular family venue: the Imperial Treasures restaurant. We’d been to the Great World City branch for family birthday

Bawling = Stress?

Posted on 1 Aug 2009   by CY

One thing about Hannah bawling is this – there’s always collateral damage involved! Specifically, I get scolded by Ling.:( Here’s the story: Hannah was doing her bawling yesterday Friday. Heck, from what Ling was telling me on MSN, the entire

B is for ?

Posted on 30 Jul 2009   by Ling

Burp. Burping Hannah has been a major occupation since we introduced the bottle. (Whenever she is breastfed, she requires little or no burping at all.) I started off with Avent bottles, believing that these are the better ones (they claimed

Baby's Sign Language

Posted on 23 Jul 2009   by Ling

An ex-colleague visited us lately and shared with me that Hannah could be taught sign language before she could articulate her needs. Sounds like fun and interesting to me. Here’s a video to show just that :) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSZfW4gVhI

O'er the Weekend

Posted on 20 Jul 2009   by CY

The weekend was pretty eventful if also tiring for the both of us, complete with mishaps and tending to Hannah. In no order of importance or sequence… Hannah had a fever after her vaccination on Friday, but recovered on Saturday

Month 1 Day 11 – VD

Posted on 17 Jul 2009   by CY

It was Hannah’s Vaccination Day today, but I was able to apply leave from work several weeks ago so that the both of us could bring Hannah to see her Pediatrician for the inoculations. I’m not sure what Hannah was
