The Hot Week

Cheyenne girl was sick 2 weeks ago. On the 14-Jul afternoon, the babysitter called and told me Chey girl was having fever. I brought her back home that afternoon, and noticed that she was quite warm and tired. Her temperature was measured 37.4C, which according to reference book, it's still quite mild. So we decided to monitor her for a while before bringing her to see doctor. Later that night, her temperature was fluctuating and the next morning, it went down to about 37C. So we thought it's due to teething (as what the babysitter claimed) and we went to work as usual. However, it turned out that her temperature was up and down for the whole day. Worried, we brought her to see doctor that night and the diagnosis - Roseola, or in layman term, fake meningitis. According to the doctor, the fever will come and go and eventually subside in a few days with rashes appear first on the face and then the body. True enough, it happened step by step as what the doctor had "predicted". Poor Cheyenne with rashes over her face and body after a few days of fever.

Chey girl's having fever but still can play with "other baby" in the mirror.

We also noticed that she had lost her appetite (temporary). She was doing "A boo~~~" to reject the food.

Thank God everything is back to normal now - her appetite is back, and the rash is gone!

New Tricks

28-Jun-10 - Sitter
This was the day we noticed that Chey can sit quite steadily with minimum support. So I guess she had moved from "Supported Sitter" to "Sitter". And when will she move to the next stage - Crawler?
These are the "Sitter" milestones that I copy online:

• Sits independently - Checked
• Picks up and holds small objects in hands - Checked
• Reaches for food or spoon when hungry - Checked
• Uses upper lip to help clear food off of spoon - Checked

According to the checklist, Chey girl is qualified to be a "Sitter". Yeah!

Evidence of "sits independently"

 Oops! Pls don't disqualify me!

The (Backwards) Crawler?

It was around the same time that we noticed girl was more agile, she is able to use her limbs to move *backwards*. Haha. This is kind of funny to see her moving further and further away which her intention was to come forward. This happened when she was in the walker too! She was more proficient in moving sideways and backwards than moving forwards. (But now she can move forward without any problem already). Heard that some babies started with moving backwards. That's cute!

Me, myself and Cheyenne girl

Nice to meet you!

The Ikea Trip - 03-Jul-10

Ever since she can move around more readily, our territory of bed shrank quite significantly. She occupied almost 1/2 area of bed and left the other half for us. She wakes up in 180degree from where she begins. One morning, Ben even found her on the floor besides the bed. That's why bed guard is deemed necessary and a trip to Ikea is inevitable! 

Me and my shopping bag

Daddy! Pls park my car properly. Must be inside the parking box!

Yawn~~ Shopping can be really tiring...

Btw, we left with a big shopping bag but without any bed guards. Only realized that when we reached home from Ikea. Great! Guess it's meant to go back for another shopping trip any time soon. =)
