Baby Ashley's Favourite Cartoons

Baby Ashley is a true fan of the Special Agent OSO, Pocoyo and Pororo the Little Penguin cartoons.

We managed to get her the Pororo soft toy from 1Utama and she hugs the toy whenever she watches the Pororo cartoon. We tried looking for the Special Agent OSO and Pocoyo soft toy everywhere but couldn't seem to find it in any toy stores locally. In the end, I found it in amazon.com. At last, Baby Ashley will be getting her favourite cartoon characters when her grand uncle returns from the US in August. I am so excited for her.

Tripping to Hong Kong - Leaving on a Jet Plane

A spontaneous decision set us off for a makan-trip to Hong Kong with Miss Ashley who just turned 13 months old.

Miss Ashley : Mama, I have packed and I am ready to go :)

Mummy : Darling, there is a baby bassinet especially for you on the plane

Miss Ashley : What?!? Now you tell me!!!

Just Mommy and Baby on the flight as Daddy will only be meeting us in Hong Kong after his business trip from US. Can't wait to see Daddy :D Although this is a short distance flight for Miss Ashley compared to her previous trip to New Zealand, I still had to ensure I had enough stuff to entertain a 13 month old for the 31/2 hour duration. So we brought along some new toys, some baby crackers and most importantly her ipad, her pacifier and her smelly pillow.

Well, I am a lucky Mommy. Miss Ashley fell asleep without any fuss as soon as we boarded the plane. The baby bassinet was a little small for Miss Ashley (only 30") so she had her feet sticking out. But I think sleeping in a bassinet is way more comfortable for her than having me holding her without any room to stretch.

The gourmet baby food for Miss Ashley provided by Cathay Pacific Airways but she slept the entire journey so we saved it for later. What coincidence that the written name on the food pack is BB (which is my online nickname) Wonder if they knew my online nickname was BB (such excellent customer service) or they refer to ALL Babies as BB. I guess it must be the latter. *wink*

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Ashley!!!

Happy Birthday my Darling Baby Ashley!!! It felt just like yesterday when Mommy saw you and fell in love with you for the first time.You are the best little girl that Mommy can ask for. I love you with all my heart!!!

Baby Ashley has the Chicken POX!!!

PoOr Baby Ashley was diagnosed with Chicken pOx. At 11 months old, we are only 1 month away from her Chicken Pox vaccination. I suspected she has chicken pox when I spotted red rashes all over the back of her neck and the rashes seemed to be filled with water.

Luckily, she did not have the fever or flu which usually comes with the chicken pox and her eczema was under control during this time. We were worried sick during this time because with her eczema, she may scratch and this may lead to skin infections which will become very serious.We made sure she was kept cool at all times and had frequent baths.

The following article made it even more worrying and we had to make sure she does not scratch any of her chicken pox.
