Hi everyone, my name is Naomi Chen Xuanning and you can call me Mimi for short. That's how Mummy always called me. By the way my Daddy's name is Vincent Tan and Mummy's name is Sally Ng.

I was born on 7th Jan 2008 by induction at Thomson Medical Centre after 40 weeks of gestation. My birth weight was 2.55kg with a length of 48cm and head circumference of 33cm.

With tender loving care from Daddy and Mummy I've grown!

Developmental Milestones

Ever since the previous post on Naomi's developmental milestone, I realised that I had so much to update on this one. Wow gosh ! She indeed is growing and changing each day.
Earlier this month I began to encourage her to use a sippy cup to drink water. Initially I bought the one with a straw based on the recommended age but she didn't response well to it. Naomi don't really know how to drink from the straw and end up choking almost at every drink. So my friend suggested that I change the straw type back into a teat type for her to gradually adapt from bottle feeding to feeding from a cup. I take heed of the advice and changed it happily thinking that it will solve the problem. But to my surprise this time, she simply pushed the cup away and refused to drink any water from it. What went wrong I really don't know. Worried that she might be dehydrated, I revert back to bottle feeding.
Somewhere in the middle of last week, we re-introduced her the straw cup again and to our surprise, she likes it and know how to drink from it. Isn't it strange and yet amazing?
Thank God she has crossed another stage of her milestone.

The next thing I want to announce is that Naomi finally has a tooth coming. We have been waiting for this moment for months. For the past few days, she was very vocal and in a kind of irritable mood. Last night she starts having running nose and this morning I saw a small whitish patch on her gum. Guess the teething process starts now....
