Bernice on the bus

Just some random posts and pictures... this was taken last week while we were going to orchard on the bus...

Admiring the scenery... and really concentrating...

Bernice's first National Day celebration (preview)

Brought bernice to the national day preview, thanks to tickets from gu gu. Went Orchard road before meeting gugu to go for the preview. Was worried before hand that everything (the emcee, the F-16, the cannon) will be too loud for her. It was, but wore "headphones" for her, so it was ok, just that she was irritated that my hands (the headphones, heehee) was clamped so tightly to her ears. Everything was a new experience to her. And all that she saw amazed her and i think she enjoyed all that she has seen. Since she was as young as two months, she has always enjoyed watching everything that is happening around her.

Took this shot while walking behind them, luv this shot of daddy expressing his affection for his little darling

Outing on Youth Day

Its youth day today, both daddy and mummy not working so we decided to bring bernice out.. so we went to coronation plaza and jurong east..

Before we went out...

wanted to capture her staring at her milk while i went to get a hankerchief, but not fast enough, so only managed to capture her looking at me with the milk staring at her instead.

She is able to know when she will be fed, she recognises her milk, and she knows that when her hankie is round her neck, its time for milk. Not very good as when she is a bad mood and doesnt want milk, its impossible for me to try feeding her cos once she sees the hankie trying to be put on her, she will start crying thus not even allowing me the chance to try to feed her again.. Think mummy too stupid for her.. haha :-)

Said in a previous post that we like to carry her out in a sling and not use pram coz we were not confident she will sleep in it, but after trying it once to Lot 1, we had a changed impression and we brought her out in her pram again today. She was ok in it, able to fall asleep, and enjoys being pushed around, same problem though. Any small little sound in the library just woke her up, (such as flipping of a book in front of her, librarian shelfing book, people dropping books and so on). Nevertheless, bringing her out in the pram was more convenient. Daddy and mummy were able to leave her in the pram and eat together, with the sling, we had to take turns to eat.

She had a limited view of the surroundings today as it was such a hot and glaring day so we had to put the shade down most of the time, so this was how she looked...

and eventually...

Bernice's sleeping pattern/problem

Went Causeway point today, and she did not sleep while outside. (read more below to find out why) So this is what happened while she and daddy was waiting for me to finish dinner.... din except her to sleep coz was just carrying her, letting her look around while waiting.

Mummy, you eat ok, i can't take it already, i sleep a while ah.

I seldom say about Bernice's sleeping pattern so i shall talk about it here. Bernice sleeping was quite a problem to us though some tell me i should be glad that she sleeps at night. Well, i am glad definitely. But of course it can be better. Problems as below:

1) She doesn't sleep face up.

If she is able to fall asleep in this position, she will wake up before you count to 10, she will be scared of any surrounding noise and be startled and wake up. Hope her courage will increase in the future though. So how does she sleep? Bottoms up. I know all the disadvantages of this position, but really no choice. only way is in the night after she fall asleep soundly, then she will be able to sleep face up for 5 to 6 hours.

2) No other place of sleeping besides bed

Due to her unique sleeping position, she cant really fall asleep when we bring her out coz in the sling, she will wake up in less than an hour. Carrying her while she is sleeping is worse, any small action and her eyes will be wide open. Haven't try the pram, coz quite sure the movement of the pram will wake her up in her face up position. hahah, may resort to putting her bottoms up in the pram. will be a funny sight... hope not to resort to that

3) Grumpy when not enough sleep

Once she doesnt get enough sleep during the day, that's it... In the evening at about 7 pm, she will be crying fiercely non stop for 15 min to half an hour. Then she will fall asleep after that.

Seems a long list, but whatever it is, she is our beloved and we will cherish whatever she is.

Some pics while we were on the bus to causeway point.

I am so sleepy, so sleepy, so sleepy...

yes? mummy, you want to take photo ah...

like this pic, of coz will be better if she smile... but she seldom wants to smile when i whip out my camera... will only smile to people, smart? or too smart? heehee.. :-)
