Raeanne knows how to 撒娇！

Lately, my precious lil' one seems to have marked out 2 victims for bullying.. And that's none other than daddy and mummy... Take for instance last night...

Yesterday, daddy brought mummy out for dinner and to the Singapore Flyer.. And so we left you in the care of your grandma... The moment we reached home, mummy went straight to your room.

When mummy first stepped in, darling was lying happily in your rocking chair, sucking on your pacifier.. Contented at being rocked at by your grandma. But when mummy went near you, your eyes lit up! Mummy started talking to you.. and my lil' sweetheart responded by 'talking' to mummy as well..

Then, grandma started telling mummy about your poo poo episode (again!) while we were out... Nope, this time round, our lil' sweetheart didn't aim your poo poo at anyone.. In fact, your poo poo didn't want to come out!

Well, apparently our lil' darling got a little constipated today.. No matter how hard our lil' darling tried to strain, your poo poo just won't cooperate.. Prefering to stay inside your tiny lil' body. So after a while, darling got frustrated.. Plus, mummy guess, the stomachache that it must have given you... Our lil' sweetheart started to cry your lungs out..

After god knows how long.. poop! Finally, darling managed to squeeze out a tiny ball of poo.. Well, a small hard ball, that is.. And after passing out what must have been plugging your bowel system, the rest came out fast and furious! Only then did the crying stop...

Anyway, that's besides the point.

As though sensing that granny is telling mummy about your poo poo adventure, darling Raeanne began to get agitated as well.. Sweetie's breathing became faster, hands and feet thrashing about and needless to say, your voice got louder too.. It was like you wanted to tell mummy you really had a hard time just now...



Soon after, daddy entered the room as well.. Now, when lil' darling saw daddy, that was it.. You decided to unleash it all!! Crying full force! Occasionally, darling's lips would curve downwards and become pouty..

Mummy's interpretation of your expression and cries: I've had such a horrible time, daddy and mummy... It was so awful, so painful... Now, shouldn't you pick me up for some hug hug?? =(

:)

When daddy and mummy saw that, we couldn't help but smile.. Cos darling's pout really looked sooo adoorrraaaabbblleee!! Mm...And to quote daddy "年纪小小就懂得撒娇！" And even knows who to target it at!

Actually, mummy don't mind being your 撒娇target... Cos darling really looked so sweet when you are at it! Of cos, this comment is only for NOW and not when you are older! So don't use this same trick to get what you want in future ya? ;p

又把恩恩留在家去坐摩天轮

恩恩，

爸爸今天又带妈妈去拍拖了。

这两个星期妈妈忙着照顾你，爸爸忙着医院的东西。很多时候爸爸在书房忙完进去房间妈妈已经睡着了，就算妈妈没睡的话，她都忙着要哄你睡觉。

爸爸一下子觉得生命之中少了一种很重要的东西，不过又不能很贴切地形容出来。

难得这个星期爸爸做早班，而且刚好明天早上可以不必回医院，爸爸昨晚就跟妈妈说今天我们一起去York Hotel吃槟城自主餐。妈妈昨晚知道后非常开心哦。

其实今天爸爸本来还想做一件秘密的事情让妈妈惊喜的，可是爸爸还是太理性了，做不成功。其实是很简单的事情，就是偷偷订两张晚上坐新加玻摩天轮的票。

太过理性的爸爸想到可能晚上会下雨，而且不懂我们会吃到几点；便改变主意说干脆等晚上吃完晚餐后才随机应变吧。其实爸爸中午时有问过妈妈我们今晚晚餐会用到几点，妈妈以为爸爸晚上有重要的事情做。妈妈那里知道除了陪妈妈之外，爸爸那里会有什么重要事情做。

爸爸妈妈是差不多七点才开始吃第一道槟城自主餐的：槟城拉沙！接着陆陆续续吃了福建面（槟城虾面）、鱿鱼蕹菜、Rojak、槟城炒粿条、粿条汤、蠔煎以及万煎糕。我们一边用餐一边讨论的话题还是离不开恩恩你，妈妈说恩恩你也曾经来过这间酒店餐厅用过餐。对了，这是刚怀了你差不多第五个月时。

后来谈话间有一次爸爸偷看手表时（只偷看一次就被发现，证明妈妈多厉害）居然给妈妈发现了，妈妈就问爸爸是否赶时间。爸爸说是的，爸爸只好向妈妈招认自首说其实今晚想把爸爸的“第一次”给妈妈：第一次上新加玻摩天轮啦。

爸爸那时敢说是因为外头（我们坐靠窗的位子）的天气很好，而且我们又差不多快吃饱了，还有那时时间还没超过八点。这简直是完美上新加玻摩天轮的天气！

爸爸非常担心如果下午太早跟妈妈说今晚上新加玻摩天轮而今晚去不成的话，妈妈肯定会非常失望的。所以那时爸爸想有这么美好的天气和时间，应该是不会出太多差错了吧。爸爸唯一担心的是今天是星期五，会有太多人上去那里看。

妈妈等爸爸狼吞虎咽地吞完第五片的万煎糕后，我们就离开乌节。开车到新达城看到停车位的看板时，爸爸吓了一大跳。怎么几千位的停车位都满了？

滨海广场、滨海湾、新达城，甚至是新加玻摩天轮那边的停车位都满了。人算不如天算，原来这个周五周末那边有电子展。爸爸那时心里想，惨，又要还妈妈失望了。妈妈那时在身边安慰爸爸说就算今晚看不到也可以其他日子来啊。

对于爸爸来说，如果今晚看不到的话绝对是个损失和遗憾。因为难得有空出来，而且用完晚餐后我们都觉得很温馨。

爸爸决定不管，照样把车驶去摩天轮那里的停车场排队。看来爸爸妈妈还是幸运的，总算在那里找到了停车位。

买了票后，上去摩天轮座位厢后，心里总算比较踏实了点。

夜晚的风景好美好美，座位厢上到最高点离开地面160米时在厢外风刮动时还会微微摇动。左右前后的夜景都一览无遗了。

重要的是这一刻有妈妈在爸爸身边一起看着美丽的风景。

爸爸当时在想着就算人生有无数风景，不过如果没有妈妈在身边一起看的话，什么风景都不是风景了。

感觉中半个钟头好像很快就过去了。爸爸在座位厢里明白了，原来这阵子忙碌中觉得缺少的是和妈妈一起经营的爱情。我们的爱情似乎因为彼此的忙碌而变得经营不当了。

今晚那种拍拖的感觉又找回来了。看来爸爸要加倍努力尽量不让自己太忙，不然的话就变成不健康了。

当然虽然爸爸妈妈在拍拖，我们也是非常挂念恩恩你的。我们一直非常担心你和祖母在家过得如何。

我们离开摩天轮时，只想快点看到你。结果到家时祖母说你刚才哭得很凶，因为便秘到肚子痛。幸好经过祖母的一番努力之下，你终于把那已经变成硬块的大便排出来了。

爸爸妈妈到你房里时，你听到爸爸妈妈的声音居然开始撒娇了起来。弄到爸爸妈妈都开怀大笑了。

有妈妈和恩恩你，今晚是个美丽开心浪漫的夜晚。

爸爸

Missing you...

My lil' sweetheart,

Mummy's maternity leave is ending very soon... Will you miss mummy when mummy goes back to work? Probably not.. But mummy will definitely miss you lots and lots and lots...

Before you were born, mummy had always wanted to be a stay-at-home mum.. Doing housework, taking care of you and daddy, watching TV, taking occasional naps..etc... But! Things changed after you came into our lives... Being a stay-at-home mum didn't turn out to be as easy as how mummy had thought it to be...

Confinement month was a torture... Not only was mummy confined at home, there were lots of restrictions to bear in mind too.. And that was also the time when mummy had to keep worrying about whether you are eating and poo-ing enough.. Whether your jaundice is getting better... Yet, that period of time was also when you were at your best behaviour..

After the 1st month, things were only starting to get better.. No more confinement.. no more restrictions.. Darling's health was given the all clear... But, that also signified the start of another nightmare.. The lil' devil in our princess was beginning to creep out!

Sometimes you got so naughty that mummy thought to myself,"I don't want to be a stay-at-home mum anymore! Can't wait to get back to work!"... That's probably the 1st time since mummy entered the workforce that mummy showed such 'enthusiasm' at going back to work!



Looking after you day after day, mummy had no time of my own at all.. There were days when mummy really yearned to get out of the house to get some fresh air and quiet time... Yet, when mummy really did get a chance to go out without you, mummy's heart and mind was always with you... Missing you so much.. Always wondering how my lil' darling is doing.. whether darling has had your milk.. behaving or not...etc.. Mummy knew then that going back to work isn't going to be easy for me...

And mummy knows daddy can't put you out of his mind too.. Cos daddy always sms mummy "Tell chubby daddy loves her", when daddy's at work... =)

2 more weeks left, darling... And then mummy's time with you will be greatly reduced becos mummy has to spend most of my waking hours at work... Even though you are soundly asleep close by mummy's side right now, mummy's already beginning to miss you..

A while ago, your grandma called mummy and said you could stay over tonight... Though mummy's still feeling tired from looking after you last night, there's this reluctance tugging at me.. Mummy can't bear to leave your side... Yet, we've got to let you get used to staying over there and for your grandparents to get to know your night habits. For my lil' darling will be staying over for several nights each week when mummy returns to work.

My lil' sweetheart, though daddy and mummy sometimes say you are a naughty girl... We really love you a lot... No matter where we are, no matter how naughty you become, we will always miss you lots and love you so... Cos you are our most precious, sweet lil' angel... =)

Raeanne's first night out!

Darling Raeanne,

It's been a week since mummy wrote for you... To summarise, you've been a pretty good girl for the past one week.. Except mon night, when you spent your first night over at grandma and grandpa's place... You really gave them a preview of what's to come when they take care of you when mummy goes back to work huh?

Despite daddy and mummy's warning to you to behave yourself on your first night there (cos 1st impression counts yar!), our darling still gave your grandparents a nightmarish time.. No matter what they did to make you comfortable, you just refused to cooperate... Screaming from ~11pm till 2am.. =( And then waking at 5am for milk again! Poor grandma still had to work the next day...

When mummy went over on tue morning, mummy asked your grandpa regarding your performance the previous night... And grandpa said your behaviour can be summarised in 10 words,"白天关眼睛，晚上数星星！" Haahaaa... Cos on monday, our lil' darling practically slept through the day as the weather was so cooling.. Then at night, the lil' mousey in you decided to wake up and make your presence felt!

And when we 'lectured' you about your bad behaviour when you woke up, you had the cheek to smile sweetly at us! Hm.. Is that a bribe? After committing such a grave sin, you think you can get away just by flashing your megawatt smile?!

But...truth is, you did. The moment darling smiled so sweetly as us, everyone's heart melted... All of us, including your 'victims', smiled too.. Of cos, no more 'lectures', but, you could never escape mummy's 'nagging'.. hee hee...

Mm.. our lil' darling behaved so badly that mummy don't dare to ask your grandparents when would they like to have you overnight again... Sigh.. Lil' sweetheart, better behave yourself huh? Or else mummy'll have to cargo you overseas to Aunty Mel or Aunty Xuan to get you adjusted to sleeping at night and waking in the day! =)

可怜的恩恩

恩恩，

爸爸今天傍晚离开医院时想起你时突然间觉得心里很愧疚，觉得没能好好地给你一个父亲应该给你的爱。

对于很多做父亲的来说，回到家可能最重要的一件事就是把家里的孩子抱起来，然后好好地疼惜。小孩子在爸爸的怀抱里，一定会觉得非常开心和幸福吧。

但是身为人父的爸爸就算是非常想用这种形式的爱来爱你，回到家后也不会这么做的。恩恩如果你现在是开始懂事的话应该也会失望吧：为什么我的爸爸不抱我？

爸爸一直想着如果小孩子抱太多的话就会产生一种对人依赖的惰性，以后学东西的话就会给与自己很多借口。而爸爸是不想你也变成这样的人的。

狠心的爸爸不只自己很少抱你，连照顾你的爸爸祖母祖父外公外婆我们都这样对他们说了。我知道大家都非常喜欢抱你的。你这么可爱，这么胖嘟嘟，谁看了都很难自禁地想抱你的。

更坏的是难得爸爸抱你，而你对家里的东西有兴趣而转头去看时，爸爸会往另外一个方向走去或顺着要走的路一直走下去。爸爸是不想一味牵就你，只是因为你想看那东西就刻意走去那边的。

爸爸是担心一旦爸爸顺你的意思而让你养成了一种习惯的话，到了差不多该走路的年纪时，大人抱你时你只要转头就可以抵达那地方，那岂不是养成了另外一种依赖人的习惯？

爸爸始终觉得能自己独立的话对你是件好事。

或许是爸爸想太多了吧。

但是爸爸对你还是觉得愧疚的，因为想做的（时不时就抱你）却不可以做。爸爸回到家跟妈妈谈起这事时，妈妈就说等你比较大了，比较懂事了再抱你也不迟啊。

爸爸一直觉得幸运，无论做什么事都有妈妈的全力支持。

虽然是太早了点，不过爸爸却偶尔会去想以后你会不会找到像妈妈这么好的另一半。我看爸爸妈妈对你的担心至少会等到了你找到好的另一半后才会减少吧。看来我们还是属于保守型的父母。

可能是爸爸今天在医院呆了十二个钟头的关系，所以脑筋还有点转不过来，所以打出来的字好像是特别地沉重。

恩恩，无论怎样，爸爸妈妈都是非常非常爱你的。。。

爸爸

投诉以及妈妈的训话

恩恩，

爸爸早上在医院发短讯给妈妈，果然听到妈妈发回来的短讯对你的投诉。

外公外婆昨晚果然见识到你的厉害了，不过爸爸想这只不过是你功力的一成而已。

原来你昨晚从晚上十一点就闹到凌晨两点多，外公让你喝奶后你还是叫嚷个不停。他们采取了不同方法不过你还是不肯妥协，结果一直弄到外公受不了多泡了60cc的奶水给你喝后你才勉强肯睡。

但是睡了两个钟头多后在早上五点多又再起来叫嚷要喝奶了，结果弄到外公外婆整晚都没好睡。

故事还没完，早上九点多外公和妈妈帮你洗澡时你一边洗，一边叫嚷，显然很不甘心的样子。妈妈说你是因为睡不够的关系所以心情不好，结果冲完凉后你又再继续做你的美梦一直到中午了。

中午你醒来时妈妈就不停地向你训话，结果发生了什么事你知道吗？你居然看着妈妈然后对着妈妈笑，弄到妈妈又好气又好笑。

爸爸下班后到外婆家时，你还在一个人自己练着你的独门功夫，看起来很怡然自得。爸爸过去你躺着的婴儿摇椅旁向你训话时你也继续展示你的秘密武器：笑容。你的秘密武器弄到爸爸妈妈都不忍心讲你向你训话了，看来爸爸妈妈都被你打败了！

当然每天看到你一天天健健康康地长大是件挺幸福的事，每次爸爸从工作那里回到家就算很累，但是只要看到爸爸的心肝宝贝小公主，爸爸就会很开心，然后就会花一段时间和你玩看着你微笑。恩恩你微笑时爸爸所有的疲惫都一扫而空了。

看来像妈妈所说的，你是爸爸妈妈的阳光哦。

好笑的是傍晚时妈妈问你说如果你今晚还要住在外公外婆家的话就请举手，你居然马上举手！=)

当然为了外公外婆，我们今天带你回家了。一天没看到你，爸爸妈妈非常想念你的。今晚又再可以看到你了。

耶！

爸爸

恩恩不在家

恩恩，

虽然和你分开差不多两个小时，不过爸爸妈妈现在已经很想念你了。

我们决定今晚让你在外公外婆家那里睡，让他们开始学习如何照顾你。妈妈还有三个星期就产假结束要回去工作了，我们是怕如果只是单靠祖母祖父的话，他们一定会精疲力尽的，所以就计划祖母祖父外公外婆还有爸爸妈妈轮流照顾你。

第一，当然我们不会那么累。第二，外公外婆也可以不时见到你，你是他们的第一个孙子，通常才几天不见他们就会挺想念你的。第三，可以让你跟多点人接触，扩大你的生活圈子，这样你可以学到不同的东西，包括生活方式思想价值观之类的东西。

你看，爸爸妈妈想太多了吧。

其实你今天大约早上十点多就到外婆家那里了。今天可以说是外公外婆的一天实习哦。

妈妈让你穿上了祖母买给你的粉红色的Hello Kitty裙子，看起来好漂亮哦。其实这阵子很多人都说你长得越来越像爸爸，爸爸有点伤脑筋，因为爸爸长得一点都不好看。如果你长得像爸爸的话，以后一定是吃大亏的。所以看到你穿裙子漂亮的样子，爸爸比较放心了点。

你今天整个下午都在做小懒猪哦。爸爸不管什么时候发短讯给妈妈问你的近况时，妈妈都说你还在睡觉。一直到爸爸离开医院到了外公家那里时你刚喝完奶又再开始打盹了，结果不到五分钟你有呼呼大睡了。

我们用完晚餐七点钟时，你才起身。恩恩睡饱后的心情非常好，一直跟外公外婆和阿姨玩。

这几天恩恩的反应越来越好了，一直跟着我们笑。爸爸现在的嗜好之一就是每天回家跟你唠叨，每次爸爸唠唠叨叨时恩恩你都会有反应的，很多次恩恩你还笑哦。弄到爸爸妈妈都非常开心。

妈妈刚才九点多时拨电话过去外婆家那里，外公说你在还未到喝奶时间的前半个钟头就开始叫嚷了。外公外婆就让你喝水，像往常在家一样你不喝然后继续叫嚷，他们没办法就去跑奶给你喝；那里知道奶水一泡好你就呼呼睡去了。恩恩你真的是爸爸妈妈不按牌理出牌的小公主哦。

原来你只是闭目小睡一阵子，一下子后又再睁开眼喝奶然后跟外公外婆和阿姨们玩了。外公说你很开心，一直在笑。

其实我们刚才在离开外婆家那一刻就心里觉得依依不舍了。妈妈说晚上顾你时就觉得很累然后想抱怨，但是把你留在外婆家有觉得心里空洞洞的一直在想念你；爸爸也是有那种若有若失的感觉。

恩恩，你在爸爸妈妈心目中已经有了非常重要的位置了。

而现在恩恩你会想念爸爸妈妈吗？

其实答案爸爸是知道的：不会。你这么小，那里知道或懂得“牵挂”这东西。

这样以后呢？无论你去到那里，是否心里面都会有爸爸妈妈？其实你不必常常牵挂爸爸妈妈，只要偶尔想起爸爸妈妈，我们就会非常开心了。

爸爸想到明年爸爸要出国离开你两个月，不知道那两个月会如何地过，因为除了想念你之外，爸爸还会非常非常非常想念和牵挂妈妈的。

现在爸爸不敢去想太多明年的事情。希望有所谓“船到桥头自然直”的情况出现。

爸爸妈妈刚才离开外公外婆家之前，有一再交待你今晚要乖不要捣蛋让外公外婆伤脑筋。你很好奇地看着我们，一副看起来好像很用心听的样子。我们希望你真的有用心在听哦。

好期待明天快点到，可以快点看到爸爸妈妈的心肝宝贝公主。

爸爸

留恩恩在家

恩恩，

刚才八点多接了祖母回家后，爸爸妈妈就“请”了三个钟头的“假”出去约会。

这阵子爸爸妈妈好久没有一起谈心，一起出去约会了。昨晚妈妈跟爸爸说她想今晚出去看烟火，爸爸一下子就答应了，爸爸还答应妈妈要跟她一起在外面比较像样的地方用晚餐，然后渡过一个温馨浪漫的周末晚。

但是妈妈今晚几乎要失望了。祖母祖父今天跟你的大伯他们去动物园，他们离开动物园时已经差不多六点了。而且爸爸今天出席一个训练课程一直到五点多，去了外婆家载你回家时已经傍晚六点多了。

祖母说你大伯那边有煮晚餐，所以她会在那边用完晚餐才回我们家。后来爸爸拨电话给祖母时已经差不多晚上八点了。然后把祖母接回家时已经是八点十五分。分心的爸爸还花了七分钟看了奥运现场男子5000米决赛的最后七分钟。

结果到爸爸要和妈妈出门时已经八点廿五分了。那时妈妈看起来累累的，爸爸知道妈妈一定是失望看不成烟火了。

爸爸跟妈妈说我们现在去看烟火吧。

妈妈说烟火九点就开始了，我们应该赶不及了吧。

有点乐观的爸爸觉得烟火可能会迟点才燃放，因为天还飘着细雨。爸爸已经答应了妈妈今晚要看烟火，所以无论如何还是要努力实现妈妈的愿望的。所以爸爸就开车开快了一点，也幸好今晚交通没什么阻塞，我们到了新达城停车场时才不过八点五十五分。

在停车场兜兜转转了好久，本来以为没机会找到停车位了，幸好刚好有个家庭刚好要离开那里，被眼尖反应敏捷的妈妈看到了，所以我们才有机会停车，而且还停在靠近电梯的地方。

停好车后，妈妈走得很快，爸爸想妈妈一定是很期待这场烟火。爸爸也赶紧跟着妈妈快步地走着。

我们停车的地方离开滨海湾其实是有一段不短的路的。幸好我们刚好走到新达城对面比较空旷的地方时烟火开始燃放。我们在开始上了手扶电动梯时就听到烟火燃放的声音了，到我们看到烟火时我们算是迟了一两分钟吧。

今晚的烟火好美好美哦。

烟火继续燃放，爸爸妈妈牵着手冒着细雨一直往滨海湾那里走去。后来走到滨海湾对面比较高的商业大厦前的人行道上视野比较好的地方站着看烟火。

今天烟火的主题是韩国的。《大长今》的音乐响起时，爸爸感觉妈妈一下子变得非常开心和兴奋。虽然雨已经越下越大，还有妈妈担心爸爸身体会受不了而催爸爸一起离开，不过我们还是留在那里看完整整十五分钟的烟火。

爸爸妈妈一下子好像回到刚谈恋爱的时候了，觉得好温馨好浪漫哦。

可惜是是本来以为来不及看这场烟火了，所以没把相机带出来。不然拍了照片的话会更完美的。

爸爸在看烟火时是有想到要用手机把烟火拍下来的，不过想到用手机拍这么辛苦，倒不如仔细把这场烟火好好地看完，然后用心把这场美丽浪漫和充满意义的烟火深深地留在心里更好。

所以虽然爸爸没拍下这场烟火，不过这场和妈妈一起看的烟火已经深深地嵌印在爸爸心里了。

看了烟火后，爸爸妈妈去了超级市场买了一串香蕉。哈哈，爸爸跟妈妈说明天要跑半马拉松了，吃香蕉比较有力气跑，妈妈就和爸爸赶去新达城的Carrefour买了一串香蕉，也顺手买了一包你的尿片。

那时已经差不多晚上十点了。爸爸妈妈本来想回去我们家附近的小贩中心吃晚餐的。不过后来爸爸想到答应了妈妈要好好地用晚餐的，所以就在新达城底楼那边一整排的餐厅那边看看有那间餐厅还有关门。

在几间还营业的餐厅当中，爸爸妈妈选了一间我们去年情人节时用餐的餐厅。爸爸妈妈在餐厅里一边用餐一边聊天，觉得一切变得非常温馨。

用完晚餐后，爸爸开车和妈妈回家时，一路上说了很多很多话。你出世后，爸爸好久没有跟妈妈这样聊天谈心了。廿多分钟的路程好像一下子就过去了。爸爸觉得今天的周末非常开心，因为陪了妈妈渡过了一个非常有意义、温馨和浪漫的夜晚。

虽然回到家时已经是超过晚上十一点十五分了。不过坐下来仔细想想，爸爸觉得非常开心、幸福和温馨。

爸爸

两个月大的前夕

恩恩，

坐在电脑前要开始写你的部落时，时间刚好过了凌晨十二点；你现在已经是两个月又一天大了。

妈妈这几天非常努力地写部落记录你的生活，爸爸却是比较忙，趁着明天不必早上六点多起身，就赶紧争取时间帮你记录生活。

妈妈还在房间哄你睡觉，你如往常的，到了晚上眼睛总是特别的亮。

说说昨天吧，你两个月大的前夕。

下午妈妈带你回医院学婴儿按摩，第一次爸爸妈妈没有带你去，所以第二次妈妈决定带你去进行“现场按摩”。爸爸下午在医院用完午餐后上去看你时按摩班才开始，爸爸看到你非常舒服地躺着，妈妈也开始帮你按摩了。

昨天的按摩是教如何帮婴儿按摩肩膀和手臂的，爸爸拿着假的婴儿模型也是努力学习着如何帮你按摩。还有外公也在班上学习帮你按摩哦。

我们上个星期上按摩课时班上只有三个妈妈一个爸爸以及两个婴儿，昨天整间小小的课室却是挤满了人。爸爸觉得有点压力，可是恩恩你却很悠哉悠哉地看来看去，而且妈妈帮你按摩时你看起来非常享受的样子，还不停地笑。

虽然不是新年，但是你在班上一直不停地放炮。屁股那边噼噼剥剥的，弄到爸爸妈妈又好笑又觉得不好意思。导师说爸爸按摩把你肚子里的风都引导出来了。=)

上完课后离开医院前恩恩你看起来还是非常开心的，你的头一直转来转去四处看着医院的东西。

那里知道一切却是暴风雨来之前的平静。

妈妈到家后不久就发了短讯给爸爸，说她快要死了！爸爸看了短讯吓了一大跳，便马上拨电话给妈妈。原来妈妈一踏进家门后，你就一直哭个不停，而且是那种用尽力气拼命哭的那种。家里那时有没有人，祖母跟从槟城来访的Ben叔叔出门了。

妈妈手忙脚乱地哄你，但是不管怎么哄你都是不要停止哭泣；你弄到妈妈非常伤脑筋和无能为力。爸爸拨电话给妈妈时，你还在旁边叫嚷着，妈妈说其实你那时是算比较平静了。

妈妈在电话上跟爸爸形容你怎么哭，怎么弄到她伤脑筋和无能为力。爸爸当时还在医院，除了聆听之外也不能帮到妈妈什么，觉得非常过意不去。

傍晚爸爸回到家时，你的情绪似乎还没有平息，还是在叫嚷着。爸爸从妈妈手上接过你慢慢摇了摇你，幸好你不久后就被爸爸摇到睡去了。睡了差不多半个钟头后又再起来叫嚷，听到你那种叫嚷声真的是挺刺耳及伤脑筋的事。

所以昨晚爸爸妈妈可是费尽了口舌跟你说了无数次好话后才让你心情稍微平静了一点点。

爸爸妈妈决定以后少带你出去了，每次出门回来你总是心情不好（我们是把你叫嚷哭闹归类为心情不好的）。本来这个星期天还想带你上去新加玻摩天轮的，现在想想还是该期算了。而且下个星期的按摩班也决定不带你出去了。看来你还是承受不了外面世界带给你的刺激。

爸爸一直在想着，你是出门回来后还想一直到外面看看呢？还是心变得“野”了？还是你在外面看到一些令你感到心烦的东西回到家后才发泄？

无论如何我们不是你。唯一能做的事是只能不要太常常带你出门，一直到可能你四五个月大为止吧。

昨晚轮到祖母顾你，爸爸和祖母也是费了一番努力后才让你睡着。爸爸今天又需要早起，而且还要准备今天教导实习药剂师需要的教科资料。连续几天迟睡早起，现在超级熊猫的爸爸已经濒临体力透支的边缘。只希望今晚轮到我们照顾你的晚上，你能给爸爸妈妈好睡。

爸爸现在还时不时听到从房里传出来的叫嚷声。今晚又再是难过的一晚？

你已经超过两个月大了。爸爸只希望以后长大的你可以比较懂事点，少给爸爸妈妈伤脑筋就行了。

看来这篇关于两个月大的部落记录好像是在吐苦水或埋怨恩恩你的文章了。

爸爸

Raeanne is 2 months old!

Our darling Raeanne is 2 months old today!

Well, initially mummy was going to write a whole long grandfather story complaining about how you gave me a hard time after coming back from the massage class yesterday.. But then, since it's your 2 months old birthday, I shall not bring up the naughty things that you did to mummy...in detail. Mummy'll just say, you really gave me a HARD HARD HARD time from the moment we stepped into the house, after your very enjoyable massage class! And mummy's lesson learnt from yesterday's episode? Other than bringing you out for your vaccinations, I'm never going to bring you out again! UNLESS, someone else takes over the babysitting the moment we reach home... Or else, darling, I'm afraid you're gonna have to be stuck at home till you're a lil' older...

Okie now, 2 months old already.. Our darling Raeanne has grown a lot, I must say! Let's see...

Your hair is longer now, though not long enough for mummy to mess around with it yet. (Tried to put on a clip for you to make you look more girl-like when your grandpa said you look like a boy.. Unfortunately, your hair still isn't long enough for that. Not that it'll work though.. Who ask you to resemble daddy more!) But certainly more messy, cos its all standing up! ;)

Darling's cheeks are getting chubbier by the day too.. Of cos, the same goes for your tummy, arms and legs! So, imagine your weight gain... At this rate, our lil' princess will become obese soon.. Very soon! Fortunately, darling is growing vertically as well (Though not as fast as sideways, I think). Yesterday mummy dressed you up in one of the jumper suits that daddy bought.. It's one of those that will cover your lil' feet as well. So you shouldn't be longer than the suit in order to fit in.. Which brings me to my point.. our darling Raeanne has outgrown that already!



Besides physical growth, our lil' darling has also developed in other ways.. You are more vocal now.. Producing lots of baby sounds whenever we talk to you or when our lil' princess is in a good mood. Darling has also been smiling a lot more lately.. Everytime you smile, everyone around you will smile as well.. My precious lil' one, see how much joy you bring to all of us?=)

When darling was first born, mummy can still remember how long and hard it was for daddy and mummy to feed you just 60mls of milk... An hour at least! And we've got to continuously nudge, tickle and disturb you to stop you from falling asleep before you finish your milk. But now, our lil' sweetheart has such a good appetite that not only do you wake up punctually for milk, you sometimes have to be fed 2 hourly! And even if you do 'fall asleep' drinking milk, your mouth will still be busy at work, until the last drop goes into your tiny mouth.. and all of that 140mls in record time! ;p

Thinking back on your first few weeks and now, mummy can't help but smile.. Once upon a time, our lil' sweetheart was such a dearie, sleeping most of the day, and even when awake, you'll usually be such a good girl, lying and playing on your own..
Now, our lil' sweetheart has become more interactive and no longer contented at lying and playing on your own.. Sweetie prefers to sit on daddy and mummy's lap to watch TV together.. Our lil' sweetie also loves it when someone gives you all the attention, talking to you...

My precious lil' Raeanne, mummy's so glad to have you and to see you grow prettier and healthier with each passing day... Mummy's looking forward to the day when you'll be able to call me 'mummy'... Till then, i'll be contented with the baby sounds that you make as response whenever mummy talks to you...

Darling Raeanne, Happy 2 months old Birthday! =)

开心与叹息

恩恩，

今天妈妈又带你去外公家让外公外婆“实习”如何照护你。这是第二次他们实习了。第一次“实习”是在上个星期五。

今天你在外公外婆家非常开心，一整天都非常开心地笑着。下午妈妈就发送短讯给爸爸说你一直笑个不停，有外公和阿姨陪你一起玩。而且外婆家那里比较通风，空气流动比较好，不会比我们家闷热。再加上表阿姨送给你的婴儿摇椅也是比较通风，所以你没流这么多汗。

至少爸爸妈妈是这么想的。

爸爸下班后到外婆家时，你刚刚睡了一下子后起身。妈妈说你从下午两点醒来后就没有睡，“小老鼠精神”特别好。爸爸看到你躺在摇椅上很开心地练功踢球；看到爸爸的心肝宝贝这么开心，爸爸也觉得非常开心。

在外婆家，时不时会有很多人围着你看。妈妈说你像是动物园的动物让观众参观（外婆听后要妈妈不要乱乱讲话），时不时会有大阿姨、小阿姨、祖父和祖母围在你躺着的婴儿摇椅旁看着你或陪你玩。

你看起来非常开心因为有这么多人陪着你一起玩，所以就常常很开心地笑着。

爸爸刚到外婆家时，妈妈就跟爸爸说你今天还没有大便。妈妈下午午睡然后外公帮你换尿片时，你显然非常享受，只是小便而已。

看来你在外公外婆家是个乖宝宝哦。

用完晚餐喂完你奶水后，爸爸开车载妈妈和你回家时，妈妈还告诉爸爸我们的宝贝恩恩今天很乖哦。但是呢，比较不那么乐观的爸爸跟妈妈说，今天还没有过去哦。妈妈听了后就说，是今天下午很乖。

回到家后呢就是另外一回事了哦。

我们把你放在婴儿摇椅上不久你就开始叫嚷了。爸爸猜想可能是我们家的摇椅你睡了比较容易感觉热和不舒服，所以就把你抱起来，你果然流汗了。

爸爸开了冷气，把你抱在爸爸的大腿上让你陪爸爸一起看奥运节目。爸爸一边看戏一边唱歌给你听，你以后会记得爸爸唱什么歌给你听吗？

哈哈，是爸爸年代的老歌哦：阿牛的《对面的女孩看过来》、小虎队的《红蜻蜓》以及《明天会更好》。妈妈冲完凉后出来就问爸爸为什么唱这么老掉牙的歌给你听？要唱就唱周杰伦的《牛仔很忙》啊。

这么年轻的歌爸爸哪里懂得唱？妈妈就走过来唱《You are my sunshine》给你听，哪里知道你一听就叫嚷抗议了。爸爸听了就笑着跟妈妈说看来恩恩喜欢听老歌哦。

妈妈接着又再哼那首歌，恩恩又再抗议，结果你弄到妈妈就也对着你抗议了，说以后不要疼你了。

爸爸接着就把你交给妈妈，因为差不多是爸爸的跑步时间了。爸爸在跑步机上跑步时恩恩一直在叫嚷着，在外公外婆家乖宝宝的形象已经荡然无存了。

妈妈就一直说恩恩只会欺负爸爸妈妈。爸爸跑完步听了妈妈说这话后就哼着：把所有坏蛋留给妈妈。。。妈妈说把所有大便留给妈妈才是。因为你又拉了一大堆的大便让妈妈清理。

妈妈帮你换尿片擦粉抹身体时发现你的背部有小红斑，可能是这样造成你不喜欢躺家里的摇椅，因为可能会痒。所以换了尿片后，妈妈就让你的头枕在她的手然后轻轻排着你的背。你似乎很享受的样子，可是时不时会发出很长的叹息声。

是很长的叹息声哦。

妈妈说我们的小宝贝恩恩一定是在叹息为何爸爸妈妈不了解她，每次爸爸妈妈都要让你叫嚷了很久后才要你抱起来。可能恩恩在叹息感叹着只有外公比较了解你吧。=)

叹息归叹息。妈妈把你抱进房要你睡觉时，你也不忘再次把所有的大便留给妈妈。你又排了一次很大很大的大便。天啊，爸爸在旁边看，是真的挺大挺多的。你把一整天在外婆家憋了很久的大便分开两次奖赏给爸爸妈妈了。

好伟大哦！

在外婆家和在我们家，果然是明显的开心与叹息。

唉！

爸爸

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...

My precious lil' girl, yesterday mummy read 2 articles that deeply touched me.. It made me realise all over again, how lucky daddy and mummy are to have you... Such a wonderful lil' girl...

The first was an article that mummy read from a 'Mother and baby' magazine. The baby girl is called Morgandie... Looking at her beautiful picture, you'd never have guessed what she'd gone through..

At 6 weeks old, she was diagnosed with a rare but aggressive childhood cancer--neuroblastoma. Baby Morgandie had a malignant tumor the size of an apple in her tummy, at 6 weeks old! Fortunately for her, the drs said it was operable. But not before she goes through chemotherapy to shrink the mass.

5 cycles of chemotherapy, each 3 weeks apart. Every cycle lasted 3 days where the chemo drugs will be infused through a drip in her arm 5 hours a day.

How can any parent live through this type of nightmare? And worse, how can a small baby like Morgandie tolerate such a therapy?

During mummy's stint in the hospital, I've seen adult patients who went through chemo.. Hair loss, nausea, vomiting, ulcers... Neverending list of side effects that even adults can't take it... It must have been terrible for baby Morgandie...

But lil' Morgandie was a fighter! She won the battle against the illness and is a bubbly 15 mth old baby now! =)

Thankfully, my eight week old lil' darling is a healthy and beautiful girl. Even though you are stronger and healthier now, mummy and daddy still tread on our toes everyday...

Till the day you grow up to be able to take care of yourself... Till the day daddy and mummy can no longer take care of you... You shall forever be our precious lil' baby...



The second story came from an email from Aunty Siok Ying. Here's how the story goes.. Karen (the mummy) has a 3yr old son named Michael. Upon knowing that his mummy is pregnant with his lil' sister, he sang to her "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" every night...

Soon, Michael's lil sister was born, but it was a complicated labour and she had to be under intensive care.. And one day, the dr just told them that she was going to go soon... Michael had no idea what had happened to his baby sister cos they don't allow children into ICUs.. Day after day, he kept asking his parents to let him see his sister and to sing to her.. And so that day, his mummy decided to bring him to see his sister, for he might never have the chance again...

Michael looked at his sister, and began to sing.. 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.. you make me happy when skies are gray.. you never know dear, how much I love you..please don't take my sunshine away...'

And then, his lil' sister seemed to respond! Her pulse rate calmed down and became steady.. His mummy asked him to keep on singing.. And amazingly, the lil' girl's condition improved and eventually recovered fully to go home!

Now, how true this story is, mummy don't know either.. But I choose to believe that long before she was born, she already had a special bond with her brother who sang to her every night.. And when she heard him sing again, that bond gave her the strength and will to fight death..

My precious lil' sweetheart, mummy wonders if you can feel the special bond between you and daddy mummy? Do you recognise the voice who told you stories and sang to you night after night? Do you recognise the warmth from the touch of daddy and mummy's hands?

Well, there never will be an outright answer... But mummy choose to believe so.. Cos when you look at me, your eyes told me so...

Darling Raeanne, daddy and mummy love you...

Raeanne loves the olympics!

My lil' darling, you probably can't remember, but you lived through and witnessed a historical moment in Singapore's history... Yes, I'm talking about the table tennis semi-finals...

Friday morning, mummy brought you to grandpa's house so that he can start getting used to babysitting you.. Around 2pm, grandpa told mummy to get some rest while he'll watch over you.. But barely half an hour later, mummy was woken by your 'I-want-milk' cries... Yet this time, mummy's glad you did so. Cos mummy would have missed the semi-finals otherwise...

And so my lil' chubby watched the match between Li JW vs Kim KA while having milk.. Exciting match, wasn't it? =)

Soon after, darling fell asleep again... Until the final match between Feng TW and Park MY.. My lil' darling sure knows how to choose when to wake up... The score was then 8-8... You cried so hard for your milk that mummy had no choice but to disappear to the kitchen to prepare for you... And in that few minutes, Singapore won! Chubby and grandpa witnessed the historical win.... and poor mummy missed it cos I was preparing your milk!! Arrgh.....

Later at night, when we were back home already, daddy and mummy watched the repeat telecast of that match... And again, nearing the end, our lil' chubby chose to wake up for your milk then! This time round, daddy and mummy decided to let you throw tantrums for a lil' while more... No way am I going to miss that last few points that Singapore scored again! And well, since I already knew it would be over very soon, mummy thought there should be no harm letting you exercise your lungs just a bit longer...

Tonight's the finals... Let's see if you behave yourself tonight!



My lil' princess, you've been very attentive whenever daddy switches on the TV to watch the olympics.. Particularly so for the swimming and running events.. Upon seeing that, daddy has been so sure that you will grow up to love sports and go jogging with him in future! Is that right? Mummy thought, maybe you love to watch the swimming events cos there are loads of hunks! Hahaa... Oops, better not impart the wrong values to you.. Or daddy might come after mummy!

Well, it's good if you really do love to exercise in future... Mm, but just in case you always go exercising with daddy and neglects mummy... Let mummy introduce you to another form of exercise... Not only do you get to exercise your whole body, you exercise your brain as well... And it does loads of goodness to your emotional well-being... And that's none other than SHOPPING!

So my ever-lovable princess, when are we going on our shopping date? ;)

Chubby姐姐

恩恩，

前天开始，爸爸妈妈开始给你每次喝140cc的奶水了。因为你每次就算喝了120cc后也是叫个不停，那时爸爸就猜可能是喝不够吃不饱的关系，所以就试验性地给你喝140cc。

结果你喝了140cc果然一睡就可以睡几个钟头，昨晚一点喝了140cc后，就一觉睡到早上六点，这是挺难得的事。

下午妈妈又给你喝了140cc的奶水，结果你和爸爸妈妈一起加油，从三点多睡到六点多。其实你加的油比爸爸妈妈还厉害，你加油加到差不多八点吧。

昨晚从外婆家回来后，爸爸看你越来越圆的脸以及肚腩，就跟躺在摇椅上的你说你现在已经不是“小妹妹”了，现在你是胖嘟嘟的姐姐，所以爸爸说从今天起就叫你chubby姐姐了。

不懂你是开心有人跟你说话，还是开心有新的外号，你竟然笑得非常开心。看到你笑到这么开心的样子，爸爸也是觉得挺开心的。

刚才十点的奶水爸爸偷偷地泡到150cc，想一下子把你“灌”饱然后好好地休息。但是居然给妈妈发现了，幸好妈妈没有骂爸爸，但是恩恩你居然又一口气喝完了那150cc！

你喝完那150cc的奶水后只是闭目养神五分钟又起来玩了。爸爸妈妈挺佩服你的“小老鼠”精神的。有时候可以下午三点睡醒后，一直玩到晚上一点才睡的。

你的精神和毅力已经彻底地打败了爸爸妈妈了！

妈妈今天说除了“小”之外，你什么都是。（You are everything except little）看来我们的宝贝小公主要开始告别小公主的年代了。

现在小公主已经进入了胖嘟嘟公主的时代。

所以接下来的几个星期爸爸会时不时叫你chubby姐姐或chubby公主了。=)

爸爸

5公斤！

恩恩，

爸爸本来决定今天放自己的假不写部落给你的，但是发生了一件事，不马上写的话就觉得有点说不过去。

刚才半个小时前，爸爸把睡在摇椅上的你连同摇椅一起搬进房里。进去房间不到五分钟你就呱呱大叫，爸爸以为你是被爸爸吓到了，就拍拍你的肩膀说不要害怕，但是拍了一阵子后你还是继续呱呱叫个不停。

后来妈妈问爸爸要不要给你喝水，爸爸就把你从摇椅抱起来给妈妈，让妈妈给你喝掺了肥仔水的开水。你只喝了几口就吐出来了，然后越叫越凶。

爸爸妈妈以为是你肚子胀风不舒服了，就抱你去祖母那边请祖母帮你的肚子擦油，那里知道油一涂在你的肚皮上，你叫得更凶了。

祖母就问爸爸妈妈恩恩你是不是饿了啊？

不是吧，你在八点四十五分刚喝了120cc的奶水。现在十点半又饿了？

不过看到你哭得那么凶，爸爸便赶紧跑去厨房泡了差不多140cc的奶水给你。泡奶时你的叫嚷声越来越大，连爸爸都觉得很恐怖。

总算把奶水泡好了，匆忙中有些奶粉还粘在奶瓶内，不过爸爸也管不了这么多了。主要目的是快点把奶瓶塞在你的嘴里止住你的哭声。

很像变魔术似的，奶瓶一塞进你的嘴巴，你就即刻停止叫嚷，然后很起劲地喝起奶来了。140cc的奶水不到十五分钟就被你喝完了。

在你很起劲地喝奶时，爸爸妈妈很好奇你现在的体重是多少。前几天，应该是8月10日吧，帮你量体重时你已经是4.5公斤了，即是说你的体重在短短十天内增加了0.5公斤。

你喝完奶后，妈妈帮你洗奶瓶时，爸爸就赶紧去量你的体重。结果呢？才只距离8月10日四天而已，你的体重有增加了0.5公斤！天啊，你现在是5公斤了！爸爸看可能下个月你就是你出世时体重的一倍了！

实在惊人！

不过可能还有其他孩子比你长得更快吧。看到你的体重一直增加爸爸其实也是挺开心的，这证明你的肠胃系统在正常地操作着，能很有效地吸收营养。

看到你越来越胖嘟嘟的脸，爸爸也是觉得很开心。

恩恩，你要继续加油哦！=)

坏坏的爸爸

恩恩的婴儿按摩班 + Vivo City

恩恩，

今天下午爸爸和妈妈过去医院上课，我们上的课很特别，是如何帮宝宝按摩。

教课的讲师说正确的按摩除了能让宝宝轻松开心之外，也能帮助宝宝身体更健康，以及促进亲子间的关系。

本来在上课之前爸爸问妈妈为什么跟宝宝按摩这么简单的事需要上三次课，而且每星期都要来。上完课后，爸爸觉得这样的课是绝对值得的。而且单单一堂课是不够教完所有东西的。

原来帮宝宝按摩前要先征求宝宝的同意的哦；宝宝如果不同意的话我们就需要等宝宝心情好时才可以开始进行。

今天上课的包括爸爸妈妈在内只有四个同学，其他两个妈妈都带他们的宝宝来了。只有爸爸妈妈最糗，因为爸爸跟妈妈说不必带你去的，只要去那里听听就可以了。结果自以为是的爸爸害到你今天下午不能享受到现场的按摩。

帮宝宝按摩要先从脚开始的，因为对于婴儿来说脚是最没有感觉被“侵略”的部位。开始时要先叫宝宝的名字。问宝宝妈妈或爸爸可以开始替你按摩了吗。如果宝宝ok的话，就从脚部开始了。

单单按摩的次序爸爸都记到有点头昏脑涨。而且上课时爸爸不专心，一直偷看其他人的宝宝，结果被老师笑说爸爸分心没把正确的按摩方法示范出来。好丢脸哦！

这堂课上了有差不多五十分钟。导师要我们回家就帮宝宝按摩，然后下个星期也要记得把宝宝带来。

爸爸妈妈回到家时已经是差不多三点卅五分了，恩恩你还在睡觉。爸爸今天答应了要带全家去Vivo City，所以就一边准备要带出去的东西，一边等你睡醒。结果恩恩在爸爸妈妈到家的十分钟后就醒了，妈妈喂了你喝奶后，我们就出门了。

我们先过去你大伯那边载他们。你的堂哥每次都陪我们一起出去，他有时候会近距离很好奇地看着你这位小堂妹。

恩恩在车上时还是精神奕奕的，但是已到Vivo City时却已经是进入梦乡了。睡得好甜好甜哦。连爸爸妈妈推着你走出户外有阳光直接照射，天气这么热时恩恩你一点也没有被干扰到。

最后恩恩你在爸爸妈妈进去书店时醒来了，一副非常好奇的样子看着四周。恩恩醒来后，爸爸一直跟你说话时你就偶尔很开心地笑，笑到眼睛都看不见了。今天早上你冲完凉后爸爸逗你和你说话时，你也开始有反应了，总共跟爸爸说了三句话哦。

在Vivo City睡在手推车上的恩恩，当爸爸跟你说话时你也应了爸爸几句，弄到爸爸好开心哦。过后我们在逛完Giant后就离开了。

>本来还想开车载全部人一起去圣陶沙的，不过已经傍晚六点多了，去到那里后也没什么时间看东西，最多只是下车看夕阳海滩三分钟而已。而且爸爸发觉今天妈妈看起来非常累，妈妈累的时候是不大想说话的。所以就等下次再开车进去吧。

唠叨的爸爸还纪录完今天的东西。

到家后，爸爸觉得身体非常累，所以又倒在客厅地板上睡了有整两个钟头才爬起来。用完晚餐洗澡后，爸爸突然间想跟爸爸的宝贝恩恩按摩。

刚好躺在客厅婴儿摇椅的恩恩也心情不好在叫嚷了。爸爸就脱了你的鞋子，轻拍你的肚子问你，恩恩，爸爸现在跟你按摩好吗？

恩恩很好奇地看着爸爸，没有叫嚷。所以爸爸就自以为是地认为恩恩是至少不反对。

奇怪的是，爸爸一开始按摩恩恩的脚，恩恩就静下来了，一边看着爸爸一边露出很享受爸爸的按摩的样子。按摩了恩恩的右脚，爸爸又再请求恩恩的首肯帮你按摩左脚，然后就是肚子。

恩恩你刚喝完奶不久，按摩你的肚子时爸爸只敢轻轻地揉着。看来爸爸妈妈的宝贝小公主恩恩挺喜欢这项按摩服务的。接下来的日子爸爸一有空的话就要帮你按摩了，当然最好是设下固定的按摩时间。

爸爸总共帮你做了两套脚部以及腹部的按摩。下个星期的宝宝按摩班，可以的话爸爸也是非常想去上的，这样以后如果妈妈没时间或累到不能帮你按摩的话，至少有爸爸这个“后补”吧。

爸爸现在每天让爸爸开心的其中一件事就是看着你一天天慢慢地长大。

爸爸妈妈都觉得非常幸福。

爸爸

Raeanne's first kiss!

Getting curious over the title of this post, my lil' one? Mm, anxious to know who stole your first kiss? =) Fret not.. cos no one's stolen it yet..

Mummy's going to tell you about your almost stolen first kiss!

That happened 3 days ago.. When daddy and mummy brought you, your lil' cousin and grandparents to Sentosa.. Before we went home, daddy decided to drive up Mt Faber to show your grandparents around.. And it was on the journey down the hill that it happened..

At that time, our lil' princess was sleeping soundly in the arms of granny.. Your lil' cousin, who was extremely happy that day, peered very closely at you.. Well, his face was just inches from you! From daddy and mummy's point of view from the front seats, it looked as though he's going to kiss you!

Of cos, he didn't actually kiss you.. Your lil' cousin was probably just curiously studying your features.. But had your daddy made a swerve or braked hard then, our lil' darling would definitely have lost your first kiss! Albeit unintentionally... =)

That 'incident' led mummy thinking.. When darling Raeanne grows older and becomes more responsive, who will be the lucky one to have the honour of receiving her first kiss? Will it be mummy? Or daddy? Or your grandparents? ......

In the end, it didn't take long for mummy to get an answer.. And although upset at being not THE ONE, mummy still stuck by my answer.. The one to receive darling's first kiss should be a man who will love you for who you are... who will always love you and never ever break your heart... And finally, he will also be the one whom you can always come home to, no matter where, no matter when... This man, is none other than your wonderful Daddy.. =)

Darling Raeanne, daddy really loves you a lot, do you know? Daddy took vacation leave for the past 3 days, yet mummy feels that daddy has been so busy... Busy trying to be a good son, busy trying to be a good husband.. And most importantly, busy trying to be a good daddy.. Despite being so tired himself, daddy has been doing all he can to help mummy take care of you and to keep you 'entertained' when you misbehave..

So darling, remember to save your first big sloppy kiss for daddy k? ;)

爸爸妈妈的购物活动

恩恩，

昨天爸爸和妈妈去了一趟移民局帮祖父祖母申请长期居留证，妈妈也要更新她的护照。

爸爸妈妈很早就出门了，因为爸爸还要先把车送去做定时服务。

我们把你放在家里，一直觉得很不放心；虽然你的祖母是出了名很会看孩子的，但是爸爸妈妈还是担心你会在家里制造麻烦给祖母。

车子弄好后，我们到了移民局那里时已经是差不多十一点半了。幸好那里办事效率蛮高的，到了爸爸妈妈上回车子时才差不多十二点四十五分左右吧。

其实恩恩，你出世后爸爸妈妈都觉得很少有两人一起相处聊长长的天的时光了。所以爸爸是非常珍惜和妈妈在一起的时刻的。

爸爸妈妈先去了乌节路的义安城，这次出来的目的主要还是买你的东西。在中环用完了午餐，我们先上去书店看看书买书和杂志。然后就下来购物中心那里看看有没有适合你带去外婆家的热水壶；对了，爸爸妈妈计划这个或下个星期就带你去外婆家那里，让外公外婆开始习惯照顾你的日子。

主要是让他们习惯你那不按牌理出牌的坏习惯吧。而且最坏打算是如果他们也怕了你的话，爸爸妈妈也可以早点想好其他办法。

好快的，只有大约四个星期的时间妈妈就要回去工作了。

过后我们就去了在义安城的婴儿展，细心的妈妈前几天在报纸上看到了那里有婴儿展。我们在你出世前的三个多月前就是在那里的婴儿展花了新币两千多块买你的东西的。你现在越来越大后，我们又觉得有些东西你是需要而没有的。而且有些东西你已经用完了我们需要补货。结果昨天又在婴儿展那里买了一些你的东西。

后来想起我们也需要买你的奶粉的纸巾之类你常用的日常用品，结果爸爸妈妈又去了中峇汝广场的NTUC买了那些东西。

爸爸在中峇汝广场时突然间想到这些日子为你所拍的照片也差不多存满了妈妈的电脑，这阵子妈妈电脑的运转速度也开始转慢了。所以又在那里买了一台硬盘来存你的照片。

回程中爸爸和妈妈在车子上计算着，这次出门的开销百分之九十都是和你有关的。妈妈说你人小小可是花的钱却是最多。

我们埋怨你埋怨到一半，突然间想起你一个人和祖母在家不懂还好吗？

爸爸妈妈进行完我们的购物活动到家时已经是傍晚五点多了。开心的是你整个下午都没有制造麻烦和让祖母头痛。

这样至少我们花了一笔钱后不会那么心痛。=)

爸爸

国庆电影约会

停好车后，我牵着你的手慢慢走进去购物广场。

在车上时，你说8月9日的NDP（National Day Parade，国庆游行）你只去参加抽签一次，结果没抽中。我说我是个有点反社会（antisocial）的人，佳节时只喜欢留在家陪家人。

你说现在你年纪大了，现在太多人的地方你也会有点伤脑筋。我说你如果年纪算大的话，那我已经是老人了。

原来当时我们开始约会时你跟我在滨海湾做新年倒数的那次是你第一次现场看烟火。我现在也是难忘那晚满天璀璨的烟火，感觉世界一下子变得这么美。

国庆广场的人潮似乎没有比预期中的少，我本来还以为大家都会去看现场看国庆游行或至少在家收看电视现场广播了。

你说我们先去戏院那里看看还买得到票吗。结果我们排队后不久就有更多人排队买票了，我常常觉得你总是有先见之明。

我们买了九点十分的盗墓迷城3（MUMMY 3 ：TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR），你说好久没看杨紫琼李连杰的电影了。

买了票后我们去了购物广场楼下的茶餐厅用晚餐。结果这顿晚餐我们多数时间都在谈恩恩，看来恩恩快成为我们生命中占重要部分的角色了。

我们突然间非常怀念那种只有我们两人的世界，想去那里都可以随心所欲，无忧无虑的。现在呢，虽然是两人世界，不过恩恩还是介入进来了。

不过想到女儿可爱的样子，我们不觉时笑了。

晚餐后我们还有差不多四十五分钟的时间。你问我想去那里走走，其实我是想到广场的书店看有没有最新的杂志的。不过我没说，我是觉得还是让你决定想走那里吧，看杂志又不是件挺重要的事。况且孩子出来后难得两人有时间一起出来，去走走你喜欢的地方，看到你开心的话我也是会非常开心的。

你挽着我的臂弯说，不如我们去书店走走好吗，我想看看杂志。

我非常惊讶，说好啊，本来我也是想去那里看看的。

你看着我说，那你为什么不说？

我说了原因，一下子感觉到了你的欢喜。我心里也是非常开心的，这毕竟不是第一次我们一起想同样的东西了。

进入戏院后，你问我我们最后一次看电影是几时。

我想不起了，说怀恩恩之前吗？

你也想了一阵子，说你记得新年时我们还一起去看戏的。

对了，就是《长江七号》吧。

然后你就说，以前有人一直很喜欢去PS看戏。

哈哈，你又提起属于我的“糗事”了。

电影上映前，我跟你说很多广告都是我们第一次看过的。曾经几乎所有戏院的广告我们都很熟悉。

电影散场了，我跟你说难得我这几天有假期，我们就多看一场吧。

和你在一起的时光就是那满天璀璨的烟花。

不，比烟火还璀璨。

圣陶沙半日游

恩恩，

不知道你以后长大后，还会对今天圣陶沙半日游有印象吗？

我们是坐吊车过去的。今天下午我们到圣陶沙那边时天还下着细雨，为了你爸爸又去买了把雨伞，本来应该把车上的雨伞拿下来的，匆忙中就忘记了。

在吊车那边工作的叔叔还问爸爸妈妈你多大。他知道你只有七个星期大后觉得很惊讶，说七个星期大就来“旅行”了。可能多数七个星期大的孩子，他们的爸爸妈妈们都比较喜欢待在家吧。

其实带你出门爸爸妈妈都需要伤脑筋的。必须携带很多东西：至少两片尿片、至少两瓶奶水、帮你清理屁股的湿布巾、婴儿手推车、婴儿爽身粉、奶嘴、纸巾等等。这些只是爸爸看到妈妈携带的东西，但是单单这些就够装满一个大皮袋了。

而且带你出门时“本来很简单的事情也会变得不简单”（这是妈妈说的名句）。举个例子，上下电动扶梯对爸爸妈妈来说是件挺简单不过的事，但是推着躺在婴儿手推车上的你，一切就变得不简单了。我们要至少要一人站在扶梯前面，另外一人在手推车后面看着；真的是是“瞻前顾后”了。

今天到了圣陶沙那边天还下雨时，我们又要防备你是否会不会淋到雨。后来到了你喝奶时间阳光出来时，我们又要预防你是否会被阳光晒到。推着你时更加要小心翼翼注意路面还有迎面而来的行人（尤其是乱乱跑的小朋友们）。而且走的路是要专选那些没有梯级的。

不要忘记今天爸爸妈妈又带了祖父祖母以及你廿月大的堂哥出来。所以虽然我们圣陶沙只去了半天，不过感觉中比工作一整天还累。爸爸回到家就倒在客厅的地上累到呼呼大睡了。

虽然是非常累，不过看到你今天在圣陶沙那里精神奕奕的模样，爸爸觉得非常欣慰。你很舒服地躺在你的婴儿手推车上很好奇地看着四周的景物以及听着不同的声音：有不同喷泉喷水的声音、流水声、小孩子叫闹得声音还，有不同的人用不同的语言说话的声音等等。

这对于你来说是一项不同的学习经验吧。

爸爸一路推着你一边和你说话，你“陶醉”到喝奶时间过了差不多一个钟头了才察觉。这是非常少见的事，通常你在喝奶前的半个钟头已经是呱呱大叫了。看来你非常喜欢爸爸妈妈带你出外走走哦。

前两个星期带你出外时你大部分时间都是在睡着。今天难得你大部分时间都醒着，至少也看到和学到一些不一样的东西吧。爸爸看到你这么享受的样子，就想到回到家后你一定会想要我们这样推着你走来走去的。果然到了家后不久你就“发作”了。爸爸看了妈妈写给你的部落后，觉得你弄到妈妈非常失望哦。

看来你是时候该好好检讨自己了。

但是才七个星期大的你就要你检讨好像是不可能的。你啊，现在已经成了爸爸妈妈每天需要伤脑筋的事了。有事没事就呱呱叫，不能静静地练功服踢球。

看看接下来的几天如果爸爸还有空的话，还会再带全家人出去走走。不过如果你这几天太吵的话，爸爸就不带你出去了，以免你每次出门太开心，然后回家后“造反”。

爸爸

Mummy's soft spot..

Lil' sweetheart,

Mummy wonders if you are having sweet dreams about your Sentosa trip or are you still angry with daddy and mummy in your dreams right now.. Cos one moment you are smiling, yet the next your lips curve downwards, eyes shut tighter, looking all ready to cry..

Earlier today, daddy and mummy brought you, your cousin and grandparents to Sentosa.. But you slept through the journey to harbour front, as well as the cable car ride.. Only after we reached Sentosa, did you wake up.. Perhaps it was the comfort of being wheeled around in your stroller, you were happily looking all around you.. Our darling seemed to have forgotten its milk time! So daddy and mummy just let you continue your visual adventure.. Until we reached the Merlion walk did you start to cry for milk..

Our lil' darling looked so happy today.. Always looking around so curiously! When we were queueing to take the cable car ride back, the facilitator asked daddy and mummy how old are you.. We told him, "7 weeks old".. And he was like, "7 weeks old and already travelling!" =) Yea, I gotta agree with him, you are one lucky baby, sweetheart... I don't think I got to step foot onto Sentosa before I was 3 yrs old?? Maybe even older..

Anyway, you were a happy baby all throughout the outing today... Until you reached home.. As usual, the moment we put you down onto your 'rocking chair', you started your 'serenade'... Mummy tried to coo you, pat you, let you have the pacifier, rock you.. You simply refused to stop 'singing'.. Daddy said it's becos you were too comfortable in your stroller today.. And now, you want someone to carry/wheel you around.. But, mummy told daddy, maybe you are not feeling well.. So granny helped you massge your tummy with the Ru-yi medicated oil.. Well, you really seemed to enjoy it, cos you actually quietened down--for a while.. After you got tired of lying there, your sing-a-long started again..



Mummy then picked you up and put you back in your cot.. Your karaoke session got louder and louder... Daddy thought you might be thirsty, so he gave you some water.. But you refused.. And our lil' darling can't be hungry becos you just had 120mls of milk.. So daddy's initial conclusion was right: Lil' Princess is throwing one of her tantrums!

And so you cried and cried and cried... Daddy lectured and lectured and lectured you... Neither willing to give in.. In the end, mummy did it again..

Darling Raeanne cried until your voice was turning hoarse.. Mummy could bear it no longer and pleaded with daddy.. Daddy had no choice but to pick you up and naughty lil' princess became quiet immediately... Yes, IMMEDIATELY! Mummy then took you over from daddy, and you fell asleep almost there and then..

When mummy held you in my arms, patting you to sleep, mummy's heart was still aching for you.. Cos you were crying so bitterly.. But mummy's equally disappointed with you too.. How could you use your tears to blackmail us??

Daddy's probably very disappointed with mummy too.. Cos we had decided together that we've to let you cry till you realise that's not the way to get whatever you want.. Yet, time and again, mummy's always the one who don't have the heart to see through it till the end.. (Yep, that happened 2 nights ago too.. You cried from 11 plus pm till ~4am..) No wonder there's this saying "慈母多败儿".. Sigh, am I turning into one of them?

Our precious lil' Raeanne, daddy and mummy love you very much.. And it is precisely so that we know we shouldn't spoil you.. Looks like mummy's gotta learn to block out my soft spot for you.. For this is all for your own good.. Or perhaps, mummy should just disappear at times like this and let daddy discipline you..

Darling Raeanne, can you understand daddy and mummy's good intentions?

恩恩出嫁了！

恩恩，

爸爸昨晚可能睡得不好的关系，所以做了很多奇奇怪怪的梦。好笑的是爸爸在梦里还拿着一支笔跟自己说这个梦非常重要，就是上次做了要记录下来把它带到梦里外而没记录下来的。

可是现在怎么想都想不起来到底是做了什么梦了。记得仔细的是恩恩你突然间长大要出嫁了。

爸爸妈妈一下子心情很舍不得，在梦里你所有成长的过程一下子排山倒海涌进我们的记忆。感觉中你刚呱呱坠地每晚不肯睡觉大声哭地吵人，哪里知道现在却要出嫁了。

在梦里爸爸的心情非常复杂，觉得时间好像过得很快，还没能好好陪你你就长大了。不懂下次几时才能看到你了。

今早醒来爸爸对自己说幸好一切还只是梦而已。爸爸还有很多时间陪你疼你看你陪你长大。

醒来后爸爸更加明白了为什么你的外公外婆要妈妈至少回家一次吃饭。他们也应该非常想念妈妈吧。

就像以后我们会非常非常想你一样。

奇怪的爸爸常常会做一些奇奇怪怪的梦，这只是其中一个而已。

对了，今天下午爸爸会带你去圣陶沙走走。希望今天天气会不错。

爸爸

恩恩的眼泪

恩恩，

你昨晚哭得挺凶的，流了很多眼泪。爸爸妈妈想起来都觉得非常心痛，不过没办法，为了训练你让你独立，我们必须忍着心疼让你哭。

晚上十一点多开始吧，妈妈抱你进房后你还不想睡。把你放在你的婴儿摇椅上后，你就一直在叫嚷着，看起来好像不舒服的样子。抱你起来时你却又一直一边扭着你的身子，一边在嚷着，好像很辛苦的样子。

爸爸妈妈以为你是肚子胀风，就把你抱去祖母房里要祖母帮忙你涂如意油。你在祖母帮你涂如意油时眼睛睁得大大的，而且还打着你的独家功夫。

那时已经快凌晨十二点了，妈妈就把你抱进爸爸妈妈房里了。在房里放你在摇椅上后你就一直叫嚷，爸爸就抱你起来检查看看是那里不舒服。爸爸帮你检查头发还有头后面的头皮，然后检查你的背部看看有没有痒或造成你躺下来后不舒服的因素。然后又检查你的尿片看看你有没有大小便，也看看尿片有没有包好或弄得你不舒服。

除了小便之外也没什么其他问题。想想可能是你又饿了，妈妈就把冰橱里挤下的120cc奶水加热了让你喝；喝了后就帮你拍背让你打呃。你喝完奶后就昏昏沉沉地睡着了。

可是妈妈把你放在你的摇椅后，你睡不到五分钟又起来哼哼叫了。这次妈妈帮你换了尿片，你的尿片已经被你尿到满满了。爸爸又帮你拍背担心你是肚子胀风不舒服，拍完背后你还是叫嚷，爸爸就抱着你在房间里表演“向左走，向右走”。

这套果然有效，差不多十分钟你就睡去了。爸爸就把你放在摇椅上，结果不到十分钟你又起来呱呱叫了。这次爸爸跟妈妈讲应该是你开始使坏要人家抱了，因为你看起来很正常，肚子没胀风，没大小便，尿片也换了，而且也没发烧，一切都很正常。所以爸爸就跟妈妈说让你叫叫喊喊看，看你能叫喊到几时。

爸爸就在你的摇椅旁边看着你叫嚷，你的stamina挺好的，越叫越大声，最后开始哭了，哭声也越来越大。后来妈妈不忍心就坐起来看你了，妈妈看到你哭到这样非常心疼，这时爸爸也心软了，想想可能你真的不舒服。结果呢，一抱着你，你马上（不到零点五秒）就静下来，然后眼睛睁得亮亮地看爸爸了。

你看起来是那种想睡的样子了，不过还是要人家抱。爸爸就一边抱着你一边训话；爸爸在抱你抱了差不多十分钟后你的眼睛又慢慢闭上了，爸爸又“向左走，向右走”了三四分钟才把你放下来。

你在摇椅睡了差不多五六分钟后又醒过来了。然后又使出同样的伎俩，这次爸爸要妈妈先忍忍，让你知道哭不是唯一解决的办法。所以你的“哼叫、叫嚷、大声喊、哭、大声哭、用尽全力哭”的策略又使了出来。用尽全力哭到一半没力气后你休息了两三秒，然后又继续用尽全力哭。

我们在你摇椅旁的床上看着你哭。随着你用力哭到没力时，妈妈的脸也变了。爸爸告诉妈妈为了你，我们要忍着，结果妈妈不忍心坐过去你的摇椅旁脸上表情很痛苦的看着你。爸爸看到妈妈这样子就把你抱起来，结果呢，同样的不到零点五秒你的表情马上从哭泣变成微笑，是微笑哦。

妈妈还不相信，爸爸把你的脸转过去给妈妈看。这时妈妈生气了，说你知道我们疼你爱你，所以你就利用我们对你的疼爱来使坏。妈妈还给你看了看拳头说要“扁”你。我们把你擦干了眼泪，妈妈又很心疼地说恩恩你为什么这么傻，要这样地使坏地让我们抱你，要我们生气。

其实爸爸是这么想的，你是不坏的，而且你可能是什么都不知道的。不过你已经开始对人家抱有点上瘾了，而且很多时候只要你一叫嚷就有人来抱你。你已经对这产生习惯了。所以这导致你以为只要你叫嚷（不管你舒不舒服）就会有人来抱你。如果你这个习惯我们不帮你根除的话，这会对你以后带来不良的影响。

爸爸又再抱着你一边“向左走，向右走”一边对你训话，你又在差不多十分钟后睡着了。那时时间已经过了凌晨三点了。爸爸把你放下后告诉妈妈再一次的话我们就绝对不抱你，一直让你哭到精疲力尽为止。

果然，你躺下去不到十分钟又再叫嚷了。爸爸怕你惊人的哭声会吵醒祖母，就把你抱了放在爸爸睡的地方躺着。爸爸认为如果你是要人抱的话，放在床上你也是会哭的。放在床上后你继续地大声哭，爸爸用被单顶在你的头上面，这样你的声音不会传出去。

但是你的声音还是把睡在隔壁的祖母吵醒了。祖母敲门后妈妈开门让她进来时她看起来很想把你接过去她房里顾，爸爸告诉祖母说爸爸要开始训练你独立不要过度依赖大人的拥抱，祖母一直交待爸爸要让你吃压惊吓得草药后才很不舍地回房。而恩恩你呢，还是继续用尽气力地哭。

后来爸爸看到你哭得差不多精疲力尽和没什么声音了，才抱你起来，然后跟妈妈说应该要提早半个小时给你喝奶。妈妈把你盈满泪水的眼眶抹干后就去泡奶。

爸爸妈妈其实是挺担心你的声音会哭到沙哑而影响你的声带的。这次可能你也是哭得累了，所以你再喝奶后就睡到天亮了。

今天爸爸再次向全家人交待不要再常常抱你了。爸爸一直觉得这种疼爱你的方式其实会让你被宠坏惯坏。我们可以疼你爱你，不过不是往这种溺爱的方式去进行的。

爸爸知道在这一方面苛刻（harsh），不过想到要你以后过一个美好的人生，这种苛刻算不了什么。而且你是爸爸妈妈带你来这个世界的，我们有责任帮你让你具有能过美好人生的品格。接下来的几天爸爸都请假，所以会努力继续观察你的进展的。

昨晚看到你流了这么多泪，爸爸妈妈都很心疼，爸爸妈妈的心比被刀割得还痛。但是如果因为我们的疏忽而让你以后过不好的日子的话，爸爸妈妈的心肯定会更痛的。

所以无论如何，训练你独立还是势在必行的。

爸爸
