Chloe have started to “ooing and  ahhing” this week. She become more alert on her surrouding. Very different from taking care of Zoey. She drank 4 oz every 2.5hr -3hr

Nowadays lil zoey become very very possesive over Chloe. Even Kakak also cannot touch Chloe. she only let mommy and daddy touch her sister… she so fond of her sister… which we did is a good sign.

 She will push kakak away whenever kakak help me to swing the sarong.she do not want kakak in the hall, dont want kakak to wash her bottle, dont want want kakak to clean her thing and the list goes on…. Not sure why she does not want kakak.but she will call her kakak for help eg. to take her book etc

I loves crossstitch very much.. no matter how busy or tired I am, when I sit down on my chair I dont feel tired at all. I will stitch and stitch while Zoey is sleeping or whenever I have the time. I even stitch while on my flight to Singapore, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Now with Chloe a little bit bigger I would like to start the crossstitching again…. I have converted a 8 photo of Zoey and Chloe….The finished item will be like next photo.

I give myself a year to do this. Previously I have make a crosstitch for Zoey when Zoey was 40days old and I  took about 9 months to finished it….

Zoey’s getting more and more ready to accept Chloe as her sister… She will protect her sister especially when we said we want to give Chloe away when she disturb her sister… Lately, she know how to make her sister stop crying when Chloe is crying.. She will said ” No, No,….” while she will pat Chloe on her leg… I love this so much..

We took Chloe back to her paed last weeks. Her weight have increased by 0.9kg to 3.9kg (as of 15/9/2007). We also changed her milk powder to Enfalac A+ -Step 1 this week.

She is a good baby… sleeping most of the time. Her time are back to normal now. She take her last meal for the night around 10.30pm, wake up for her 2nd feed around 2.00am…She took 4 Oz milk now. She know how to smile now…On and off we sees smile when we talk to her…

Finally I have send my maid back although she does not complete her 2 yrs contract with us… To be exact 3 mths to her contract espiry… This is because of the follwoing reasons:

• She is old…40yrs old. All this while her age does not post any problem to us as long as she did her work probably. However, early this year we started to noticed that her performance start to drp tremendously and this post us a great problem as we really take into account of the cleaniness….
• deaf…. This is a new problem that we recognised a few week before we decided to send her back…
• This is something that is happened during my confinement period… myconfinement lady relates this back to me…. The MAID told my confinement lady this ” Sir sangat sayang saya “…  With this I finally decided that it is time for her to go… I cannot let someones left this remark stayed with us. It is not that I do not trust my husband but for precautions , I have to send her go.
• Maybe she think that we depends on her there is one incident where she actually asked me to sent her back to the agency just because I send her to sleep in the small room as she is sick and I scared that the virus will spread to Chloe as at that time my confinement lady shared a room with her.

There are many many incident which actually make me feel enough is enough. I Just feel that it is not worth it for me to paid her and she does not do a proper job…

Just sees the heading, you know who I referring to….

Yess!! Lil Chloe…. Ever since the confinement period ended, Chloe have been sleeping in the days and sure will stay awake from 10.00pm onwards till early in the morning…. if you are lucky she will be sleeping till midnight and saty awake till morning. I just hope this period will end soon…poor grandma and grandpa. They have to look after Chloe during the weekday and I will only take Chloe back during the weekends….

 Eversince I introduced colour pencil and magic colour to Zoey, She loves it very much. I brought her a lot of colouring book and until a day where I came into a website which have all the disney character’s like dumbo, 101 dalmation etc colouring picture, then only I realised that I could just print the picture out and let Zoey to colour it.. Not really colour, more look like scribbled by Zoey. At least it is a way that I can saved money and at the same time that I can re-print the picture for Zoey…

Whenever we want to go back home, Zoey never forget her Barney bag which contain her colouring paper and colouring pencil. Every morning and every night she never forgot to take her bag back with her…

As for Chloe, she is a very good baby during the first fews week when we have our confinement lady with us. She sleep through being it day or night. However, on the same night that my confinement gone home, the problems start. She refused to sleep at night and spent the night asking for attention. Being a mom for the 2nd time does not really help much as both the baby having different character…. after that, my parents have offered to take care of Chloe for 24 hrs during weekday and we only took Chloe back during weekends which is a relieved to us..

As of 29th August, Chloe’s weight around 3 kg which increased of around 1 kg since her birth ( 2.02 kg @ 20th July ). She taking around 3 oz of meal around 2 – 2.5 hrs. She loves water – thanks to my mom as she is the one who trained both Zoey and Chloe to take water…. she able to lift her head up when we carry her against our shoulder….
