New year Eves

Everyone is here in Singapore for the new year except my older sister, my younger brother came with my parents on the 27th, and my older brother came yesterday with his wife.

This year will be the year that we didn't spend new year eves with my grandmother who lives in Sukabumi. I hope she will understand, and I hope my uncles and aunties will spend new year eve in Sukabumi with my granny, thus she won't be so alone.

A lot of things has been happening in our life during 2006, from the happiest moment in my life through the sadest moments where my mother had stroke. However, we all survived. Many hopes for the up coming year, many tears has been sheed in 2006, many laughter has been share with family and friends, all of those thing which made life so meaningful and kept us human.

The very best thing that ever happen in my life was the birth of our daughter. After 9 whole months, carrying her in my womb, I've the previlege of experiencing "Motherhood". A word that I didn't even understand till I've come face to face with it. It's the feeling of Joy and Pride, it's the highest point in my life. Thus, I Thank You Lord.

Regular Visit to Dr Malathi

Today is chantal regular visit to dr malathi at East Shore hospital. Her weight is now 4.7 kg and she will have her vaccination early january due to our plan to go back to Jakarta for holiday.

Dr. Malathi said that Chantal colic will eventually outgrow her when she reach 3 or 4 months. Her weight gain is good and she consider chantal to be very healthy with only alittle of wind in her stomach today.

Rock a baby

Confused and a little bit frustated on why my lovely chantal didn't seem to go back to her angelic and calm behaviour, her dad bought her a rocking - vibrating chair. Hope that she will enjoy the new sensation of vibration while being seated on it.

She seems to enjoy it, although the fabric of the chair always made her snized twice. (might be the allergic reaction of a baby when introduced to new things)

The more obvious reaction from her when she was put on the chair was her eyes will open wider, and she will make those lovely noises, those baby noise...yupe, as if she was trying to say something, and then calmly fall asleep.
