double bonus!

here are 2 videos of emma - one of her cooing and the other where she has discovered her fingers and happily munching on them... i just cant get her to take the pacifier and i'm really hoping this doesnt become a bad habit!

gym membership

emma is now a member of the tiny love gym that gor gor used to frequent :)

bouncy bouncy

we finally got emma a bouncer. it was a good deal cos it was on offer at $60 (UP was $170 - i wonder which goondu would buy it at that price?!?)

anyway thank goodnees she likes it. we can now put her in it when she's awake and she'll be pretty entertained. it's got a wonderful vibration mode too - so when she starts to lose interest in the other gizmos on it and starts to whine, we activate the vibration! and she immediately quietens down again :) but we gotta go stock up on D size batteries, at the rate she's going! honestly, fisher price should build a model that comes with a power adaptor u can connect to the mains :P

photo taking

realised i havent been taking many photos of emma. now i know why i couldnt find any photos of when i was baby (i was the 4th kiddo in the family u see). it really does get increasingly difficult with each kid!

playtime

emma doesnt have the luxury of having a full-sized cot the way ethan had when he was a baby. cos our masterbedroom here is simply too small to squeeze a baby cot in! the only thing we could manage was a moses basket. poor gal huh?

anyway when she's awake and we want her to get some 'stimulation', we'll put her in ethan's cot and fix the tiny love mobile on, so at least she wont be staring blankly into space. this makes us feel better cos:

1. she gets the same kind of 'education' ethan had when he was a newborn too
2. we get more mileage out of that silly tiny love mobile which, in hindsight, i think we definitely overpaid for!

action!

finally captured emma in action :) she's a bit more alert these days, so i'm really happy about that!
