Rachel's 1st Christmas...

Of course she is too young to know and understand any celebration, but granduncle had a christmas (cum birthday for my aunt, ie Rachel's grandaunt) party yesterday night... Granduncle (and aunt Ellen of course) gave Rachel her first x'mas gift, properly wrapped up... Rachel being Rachel as such young age, was more interested in the paper than the present!!! (I'll post photos of this when I have them from my uncle, I have to add, it was taken with D200!!! OMIGOD, I LOVE those photos... and that camera... SIGH! I want one... hahaha)...

Aunt Ellen was a little sad seeing Rachel only cared for the wrapping paper... hahaha... It WAS very farnee leh... She was so engrossed with the wrapping paper, even when I took the present out for her, she didn't give it the slightest attention!!! Even when she dis, it wasn't for the bear itself, but the small paper tags attached to it! When I turned it upside down so the paper tag cannot be seen, Rachel tug on the washing label attached to the bottom! *slap forehead*

But I'm very sure that that in a few months time, Rachel will know how to enjoy her present... hehehe.... For the record, this is Rachel's first X'mas present, a cute little white bear, with "BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS" written on the chest... hehehe... :D

Rachel received another gift yesterday, my colleague (Alice) and her hubby got her a dress... It's a gift from the kaima (Godmom)!! haha... Well, no lar, no actual 'shueng kai' ceremony (those prayers and rituals), just call for fun kind lor... :D
The photo shows us trying the dress on for her after work yesterday... Fits quite well eh? haha... :D

On another note, we gave her half a banana (pisang emas) yesterday too... I mashed it up and gave it to her... I was directed by my aunt (Rachel's paed) to add some milk to it, cuz she was afraid that Rachel is not used to the taste (something new mar), so the milk will give her the taste she knows, but I did not (naughty mother eh)... Rachel ate all of it up... She was a bit slow though, I suspect it's the baby chair, cuz she was banging and hitting it, looking left and right, having a blast... I think she's as greedy when it comes to food, as her mommy is... hahaha... She's already starting to swallow better, and creating less of a mess compared to a week ago... I'm still deciding when to start daily porridge... *scratch head*

I receive so many comments about wanting to pinch Rachel, so what this naughty mommy did was to pinch her on behalf of all, while snapping a photo and now there, uploaded for all to see... hehehe.... SO chubby right?! AIYOH... Don't lar scold me, I didn't really pinch lar, just a little affectionate pressure on her cheek... :D

We brought Rachel for weighing the other day, and this is for the record of Rachel when she's 4 months old.
WEIGHT : 6.9kg
LENGTH : 62.5cm

She's growing very slowly length wise... only 2.5cm this month.... hmmm..... We have also increased Rachel's feeding to 6ozs! :D

We took Rachel to Sakae Sushi in Subang Parade on Saturday.

She was looking at the sushi bar for a while, probably attracted by the movement and the colorful plates, then to the flatscreen at the side for our ordering, cuz they had the screen saver on...

She then had her feeding, before she started messing with the menu, first staring at the pages and trying to turn them, then trying to put it into her mouth, then she started fussing because I didn't allow her to.... *smack forehead* She does look VERY cute when she was trying to 'flip the pages' though... I just HAD to get hubby to snap some photos..... :)

After that, it was all downhill... She fussed, she cried, she kicked! I had to eat standing up! EVERYTIME I sit down, she'll cry! The baby sling does help, cuz I could have free hands to eat... hahaha....

On Sunday, grandpa bought Rachel a lantern! Rachel's first lantern. HeHeHe.... It's for the midautumn festival this friday. NO no... Don't worry, it's not those with candles that we burnt when we were kids, but this is a super fantastic lantern! It's battery operated, with bulb to light it up, and it has MUSIC, and it TURNS!!!!! I'll post a video when I have one... She was VERY attracted to it because of the turning and the music, but all she wanted to do with it was put into her mouth! She got VERY excited at first, but then VERY VERY annoyed later, when she couldn't eat it... Inset of the photo below, shows the short good time she had with the lantern... Very shortly after the photo was taken, she cried and fussed until she went to sleep about 30 minutes later! *phew*

Rachel received a gift yesterday from Aunty Jaime from Japan, and it's BEAUTIFUL! Really very cute! It's a little too big now, but she'll grow into it in a few months time, and I'm sure to take more photos and blog about it. She'll be the little japanese cutey pie then.... :D
Can't wait for her to try it on though...

Now now, I'm getting all excited when she couldn't even understand it yet... Well, that is what mothering is all about yeah? hehe....

Isn't the 'kimono' cute?? :D
