How bizarre!

The strange and not-so-strange happenings in the life of me

Things my daughter does that makes me laugh and love her more...

She rocks and sways (and sometimes headbangs) to almost any kind of music, but without fail to the theme song of 'Grey's Anatomy'. She could be nursing or doing something but when that tune comes on, she'll look up, smile and start rocking.


Sorry, don't know how to rotate the video

She hums tunelessly but in rhythm to people singing and she sometimes does so very loudly in church. I don't know whether to blush with pride or embarassment.

When in an affectionate mood, she'll hug me around the neck and kiss me full on the mouth, eyes closed some more. Starting young? You don't say! Daddy better have a way to keep a reign on her when she starts dating.



She twirls her feet round and round and pumps her arms up and down when she's excited (and that includes upon seeing me return from work).



Her babbling of "Buerh", "Buh", "Ba", "Bai", "Ma", "Pa", "Mum". MIL thinks she'll start talking early since she's such a whiner.

She is absolutely terrified of being put to sleep in her cot but loves sleeping on the sofa downstairs. Before falling asleep, she will roll about in her cot, bang her head on the mattress and whine. I have an absolutely hilarious video of her falling asleep sitting up with her feet sticking out of her cot but it's too dark to see anything when I upload it. Here's a photo instead


She always has a smile for everyone and if she's in a cranky mood, just singing "Twinkle, twinkle little star" will definitely elicit a smile from her.

She has good dexterity and an incredibly strong grip (she once lifted a melamine chair with one hand).

She has an extremely good appetite and eats really quickly. Thank God!

    The kissing video is soooo sweet! Sophie only ever does the socialite style cheek-to-cheek kiss.

    Your last video should be called Bu Khim's Phone Conversation instead. I kept waiting for Nat to say something but can only hear Khim in the background :)

    SY, yeah, the kissing is really heartwarming but a bit too passionate sometimes... luckily she does that only to me. Daddy's so jealous... haha! By the way, sorry for not being clear but the last video was actually in reference to the twirling her feet comment, not the babbling.

    Thanks Cheng Chin! Hope she grows hair real soon and becomes as pretty as Rachel.
