My 2 Princesses...Janelle & Janessa

Thank you...aka "Ka-Kut"

2010-10-18T22:05:00.000-07:00

Janessa is learning to say simple words & sentence.
Though she doesn't speak a lot & her choice of words are limited, her understanding is far beyond our imagination.

Whenever my mom speaks in any dialect, she will quick to understand.
On day, my mom spoke to Janelle in Mandarin - " Janelle, since u are a good girl today, u can watch "Toy Story 3" DVD". Guess what Janessa did - she actually ran to get the DVD and says "Orie-orie" (she means Toy Story)..haha, so cute. She understands what my mom trying to say..

Yesterday, my mom asked my dad to bring her a towel on the chair in Hokkien..
My dad could't find the towel...and guess what Janessa quickly grabbed the towel & passed to my mom...hah, she understands even in Hokkien.

Truly i should not underestimate baby's brain..
They are learning everyday even before they start to talk.

Here are some of Janessa's 1st words:

Pa-pa
Mummy
Che-che (sister). This is her very 1st word when she was 8-9 months old
Po-po
Kung-kung ampung (Grandpa in Kampung)
plea (please)
ori (sorry)
Poo-poo (for shee-shee & pass motion)
book
nien-nien (milk)
mum-mum (food)
na-na (banana)

the BEST of all is "Ka-Kut" means Thank-you!!

As a mom, I'm truly proud of her...though I'm kinda worry why she still not talking much.
I do not have this problem with Janelle she she was 2 years coz she can even sing a whole song!!

Mmm...every child is different. Both are just as special & smart as they are

Potty Train

2010-10-14T00:29:00.000-07:00

Janessa is 23 months old now...will be 2 years old soon. How time flies...

She has many milestones and the most outstanding milestone is she has been potty trained since Dec 2009 (when she is 13 months old). During day time, she doesn't wear diapers at all...save mommy's $$ ;o)

Each time she want to shee-shee, she will say "poo-poo" . I will bring the potty for her.
Or each time she when drinks a lot of water...I will bring the potty to her.

Every morning, her routine after bath is to sit on the potty and she will surely "poo". In fact, I will make her sit until she "poo"s. I'm so proud of her.

Last month, she demonstrate another milestone...she will take off her panties and sit on the potty herself whenever she wants to "poo". So cute to see her doing that...
She will smile & clap her hands whenever we praise her.

10.10.10

2010-10-11T23:06:00.000-07:00

Kenny & I decided to create some memories on this day to that we can cherish for the rest of my life. We decided to bring the girls for movie at Midvalley Megamall.

Since it was the 1st movie for Janessa so we watched " Sammy's Adventures - The Secret Passage". When we reached the cinema, the Q was as usual so long. In my heart, I think there will be no chance getting a ticket.

However, God is so good to us - a guy stopped by me asking me whether I wanna apply EON-GSC credit card. I told him that I had just cancelled my EON card & I dont intend to apply anymore.

Then he asked me what movie I would like to watch...I told him I hope I can get tickets for the cartoon movie for my girls. He whispered to me - " I can bring you to the special lane for EON credit card to get the tickets. Come follow me!" I was stunned - " Are you sure?" He said "YES"

At that time Kenny also trying his luck to line up at the reservation counter to get the tickets, but the Q is also long.

Guess what - I got the tickets...yahoo! Janelle is so happy. Janessa also blur blur happy. In fact, I took the risk to bring along Janessa - I worries that she might cry/make noise since this is her first time.

To my surprise, Janessa enjoyed the movie. Most of all, she enjoyed her popcorn & her vitagen drink, haha! Mommy also happy because she can watched with peace and finish the whole movie. Half way through the movie, after eating all the pop corn - Janessa decided to sit with Papa and...zzzz she slept!! So cute..

The movie ended at 7.15pm. We had a great time & headed for dinner at the Food Junction. Janessa was still sleeping & I had a "peaceful" dinner too..

Time to go home. Once home Janelle told me that she wanna take shower first...
After way through the shower, Janelle's nose's started to bleed. I was shocked...then she started to spit blood...so so much. I quickly asked my mom for ice to stop the bleeding.

The best part is my mom asked her to cross her middle fingers of both hands to stop the bleeing. Ahhh...what theory is that? She said it works...and she read this in the Chinese newspaper.

Suddenly Janelle in between cry...she said "Mommy I want to see God already?" I said " NO-laa" I told Kenny to bring her to hospital immediately. Janelle heard this & she cried even more & said she doesnt want to go to hospital. She said that she didnt want to be alone in hospital..

I quickly change and get ready to hospital. Thanks God, the bleeding stopped...
Should we go hospital now? hah...we didnt go. We all ended going to bed early....

After all the chaotic moment, I hugged Janelle and said " I love you!" I tugged her to bed & knowing that she is still my little darling girl.

Indeed, 10.10.10 was an eventful day for us...

I'm back with more stories about my girls

Stay tune!

Janelle's new tooth

2010-05-03T23:34:00.000-07:00

I forgot to share this...

Janelle's has grown up!! One of her bottom front milk teeth had dropped on 23rd April and the other one a week later. Now I notice, there is a new "adult" teeth coming up.

She cried a little. I told her that it's a sign of her going to Primary One soon. She is excited & looking forward for next year to enter Primary One....

As I look back, Janelle has a set of beautiful teeth...tiny & cute. There is a small gap at upper front teeth. A friend told me that, it's ok as this will give more space for a nicer set of adult teeth later on...hope this is true.

On the other hand, Janessa has 8 milk teeth as of today. She has lesser teeth as compare to the other kids of her age. 4 at the top & 4 at the bottom. The 2 front one are slightly bigger & kind of crooked. The rest are tiny cute one. Nevertheless, these tiny teeth compliment her sweet cheeky smile...;o)

Sisterhood

2010-05-03T20:28:00.001-07:00

Relationship between che-che Janelle & mei-mei Janessa is so cute. Sometimes they fight over small things such toys & attention, sometimes they kiss & love each other like crazy. Janessa is the "fierce" one. She likes to "cari pasal" and snatch Janelle's favourite thing. She will run after snatching and will hide whatever she has snatched under her blouse...mind you, I dont know where she learns this.

Last night after cutting Janessa's finger-nails, it was Janelle's turn. You know what, Janessa snatched my nail-cripper away & forbade me to cut Janessa's finger-nails. She will come between us & pushed Janelle away.

At times, Janessa will come to Janelle's bed and sleep with her che-che. She will hug & kiss her che-che too. Their relationship warms my heart & make me laugh/angry/bizzard at the same time.

Janelle, Janessa - Daddy & Mommy loves both of you very much. Both of you are equally special in our life.

Dancing, Skipping & Hopping...

2010-04-29T19:07:00.000-07:00

Janessa loves to dance. Each time whenever she hears some music, she will stop whatever she is doing & starts to dance. She will shake her hands, buttock & her whole body following the rhythm. Where she learns all these? Yeah, from her che-che Janelle. Janelle loves to dance too - so she imitates...

Yesterday Janelle was skipping & hopping...Janessa started to follow her che-che. She "jerk" herself while running as if she is skipping. She is so happy & excited when everybody cheers at her...

My baby Janessa - Growing up fast

2010-04-28T20:17:00.000-07:00

Janessa is growing up fast. She is 18 months toddler now but to me she is still a baby. It's a joy & exciting journey to see her crossing difference milestones.

She is curious & love to touch everything she sees. She loves food & her first word is "mum-mum", then "cake-cake"...but she still not calling "ma-ma" yet. She will only call "pa-pa" out of desperation (when she wanted to come in the room to play with her papa)

She is cheeky & loves to play. She can ran fast & quite clumpsy. She is a strong-willed girl & would cry/scream to get what she wants. Even her Che-Che will have to give in. If both do not give in - guess what...a "fight" would begin. Guess who will win? Yeah, it's Mei-Mei Janessa!!! Che-che Janelle will have teary eyes relunctantly to give in...

We called Janessa (nickname: Gi-Gi) the little rascal...because she likes to ransake my bag, drawers & etc.. Whenever she saw me coming with a "spank" she will quickly put everything back to the original place & act nothing has happened. Mind you, she is so smart...and sometimes I ended up laughing. She will give me a sweet smiles...and makes me forget the spank ;o)

She has a nice baby smell & I love to smell her all over even with her sweaty smell. As of today, she only has 8 teeths...2 bigs one at the top & the rest are small tiny teeths. I love to look at her adorable face...big round sparkling eyes, small button nose, kissable lips, well-defined ears and most of all her dimples on her cheek melts my heart.

Oh yes, she must have a cloth (napkin) to bite & to play with before she sleeps. She will bite/suck the napkin to sleep and with the other hand she will stroke her nose with the edge of the napkin. It's so funny to see her getting the comfort this way. Just wonder how long she will hold on to this "addiction" and how will her poor mommy going to break this habit...

Some snapshots of Janessa..

Happy 1st Birthday, Janessa

2009-11-03T16:52:00.000-08:00

Time flies, one year has passed...today is Janessa's 1st birthday.
Looking back it was a wonderful & fullfilling life for me & Kenny.

As I was writing this blog, I can't help to thank God for such an adorable & beautiful baby girl we have.
Janessa is getting prettier, cuter each day with all her little milestone throughout the months.
I will jot down each of her milestone soon..

I was in Subang Jaya Medical Centre (where Janessa was born) yesterday to visit a good friend who was not well. As I was walking through the hospital, I can't help but reminiscing on the day I was admitted to deliver baby Janessa. It was a good feeling & I somehow miss that moment...

Last Sun, 1st Nov we celebrated Janessa's 1st birthday party. It was fun...mom was cooking the whole day making sure her beloved granddaughter had a memorable party.

To my Baby Janessa: Daddy, Mommy & che-che Janelle love you very much.

4th November 2008...another Princess

2009-08-12T00:50:00.000-07:00

4th Nov 2008 was a special day. Baby Janessa was born 3 weeks early.

As usual, I was up in he morning at 5.45am and found myself "leaking". Oh no, my water bag burst! My hubby dashed up from the bed in daze, thinking what to do next.
I, on the other hand have a quick bath, called my mom, called Janelle's nanny and packed my half-packed bag . Mine you, I havent really complete packing my bag yet as i thought i still have time! Gosh, I was so wrong...

We dropped Janelle at Aunty Po-Po's house. Reached SJMC at 6.30am (thanks God, there is no jam). Check-in the Labour Room at 6.45am and Dr Mak came at 7.15am. Doc said i had dilated 5cm but still not ready to deliver. He mentioned that the baby won't be arrived until noon. What??!! I was already having sharp contraction. But it's bearable...my hubby was with me, chating & holding my hands. It was a good feeling & make my whole delivery a pleasant experience.

Suddenly, I had an urge to poo...my hubby quickly called the midwife. She came in, checked & said "the baby is coming out soon!!" I was having intense pain now, doc & nurses rushed in. I was asked not to push but hold on. How can?? Something is coming out...feel like i wanna to poo.

Once everybody was ready, I was asked to push. "Come-on, push, you can do it..!!"
I can feel everything, I mean everything - the tearing, water gushing out, something down there trying hard to come out...

Last push, with all my might & strength, burst my last breath... then i heard baby crying. I glanced at the clock - 8.34am. Exact 2 hours of labour...and Janessa was 4kg!!! No joke. I delivered naturally and i was almost wheeled to OT for C-sec if the baby is too big.

Janessa came at the right time. Beautiful, chubby baby. I almost cry knowing that she is going to be a part of us...a new addition to our family. A baby sister to Janelle. The journey with Janessa has just begun...

"Moo-Moo"

2008-02-24T23:11:00.000-08:00

Jan's favourite shopping complex is Midvalley. We have been busy for the weekdays so her request was sadly turned down.

So, we told her - if she is a good & obedient girl , we will go Midvalley on the weekend.

Yesterday, after church - we told her that we are going to Midvalley. She shouted "Hooray, we are going Midvalley". I can see her joy & excitement.

We had lunch at Carl Jr and Jan ate her favourite fries. Then we headed to Carrefour for groceries shopping. As we walked passed the Wall's ice-cream counter, there was a promotion where if we buy 2 tubs of latest Moo ice-cream, we will receive a free toy that looks like a cow.

Obviously, Jan instantly loves the toy. We have no choice and ended up buying 2 tubs.
There she goes - she has another animals added to her safari. A cow and she calls him Moo-Moo.
Now, she eats, plays & sleeps with her new Moo-Moo.

This morning, she insisted that she wants to bring Moo-Moo to school. I said no, and she said why the little girl ( from the movie: Charlotte's Web) can bring her pig to school and she can bring her Moo-Moo too!!

Jan: Mommy, can I bring Moo-Moo to school, ok?
Me: No, Jan. Moo-Moo has no place to sit in school.
Jan: Never mind, I bring a chair for Moo-Moo.
Me: No, Jan. The school does not have enough chair.
Jan: Then, I share with him lor..

Oh, how sweet and I started to laugh. Finally, she agreed that she will leave Moo-Moo in the car. When she is back from school, she can bring Moo-Moo to Aunty-Poh-Poh's house..

"No Time?"

2008-02-21T22:39:00.000-08:00

Janelle is a fast learner. She picks up things easily & though she is only 3+ she can speaks in sentences, with good vocabulary (sometimes I also do not know where she learns all these words from)

Last night, as my hubby was playing game on my handphone - Janelle was watching. Suddenly, she asked my hubby to let her play the handphone. I overheard the conversation between 2 of them:

Janelle: Papa, my turn now?
Papa: Wait
Janelle: Janelle has no time oleadi
Papa: Hah..

And my hubby started to laugh. I guess, she must have learned this from me -opps!
Each time, whenever she is eating or changing clothes - I have to hurry her. I will say " Janelle, quick! Mommy has no time oleadi.." So, now we know where she learns this from ;o)

Since this incident - i need to watch out what I say & do in front of her.

NeVer Too LaTe

14th Dec 2007

Janelle (fondly known as Jan) will be 3 tomorrow..
As a mom, I will not let all the sweet moments fly away.
I wanna go back to January 2007 to recall all specials moment of my Girl.

January - April 2007

Janelle was with her granny's home in Ayer Tawar. Her nanny was away to London.
Initially, I found a replacement nanny near my house, but unfortunately Jan refused to be with her 'new' nanny. She cried all the times, didnt want to eat & sleep.

When my hubby & I picked her up after work, she clinged to us so tightly & refused to let go. She was 'traumatised' & as if we were going to leave her again...

Then came my mom...asking Jan to stay with her in kampung. Jan new journey began...
