We Didn't Start Out Tired

A very nice song from the Baby Blues book by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott... To the parents out there... enjoy it... I am sure you will agree to the song... Sing it with the tune of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire"

Baby powder, baby oil,

Rubber nipples on the boil.

Pacifier, Vaporizer,

Doctor Spock  is back!

Changing table, cotton diapers,

Pampers, huggies, baby wipers,

Midnight feedings, sunrise greeting,

Are we having fun?

Bassinet, layette,

Mastercard just had a fit.

Breast feeding baby gnaws,

Tender nipples, nursing bras.

Soft spot, cradle cap,

Cranky kid, I need a nap!

Housecleaning! Interuptions!

Never gonna get done!

(Chorus)

We didn't start out tired.

But we think that maybe

We can blame the baby.

We didn't start out tired.

It seems diabolic

But it's prob'ly colic.

Tiny fingers, little toes,

Diaper rash and runny nose.

Baby's shrieking, milk is leaking.

Figure is shot!

Playpen in the den,

Baby's sleeping, Amen!

Phone rings, bell dings,

It must be a plot.

Colic, mylicon,

Where the heck is Brazelton?

Camomile, fennel tea,

Double scotch for you and me.

White noise, take a ride,

Vacuum cleaner, all tried!

Zombie eyes, lullabies,

Singing 'till we're cross-eyed!

Chorus

We didn't start out tired.

But we think that maybe

We can blame the baby.

We didn't start out tired.

But for this little one

Our love goes on and

On, and on....

The Great Germany Weather

Raining when I woke up, snowing when I was having breakfast then the sun was shining when I am done feeding and left for my class. All within 1.5 hrs. Isn't that GREAT!? 

And the sun continued shining until noon time when my class was about to finish, and then the sky turns gloomy and there comes the snow and rain again. And after I arrived home, the sun was shining again. And then gloomy again... and the snow during the evening was the heaviest that I have seen... Life will never be boring with the GREAT Germany weather right?

Fruity Sunday

Strawberries, kiwis, bananas, pears, plums and apples for a fruity Sunday dinner. Getting healthy lately, eat by example... And also weight watching :) The colors of the mixture looks cool right?

The first tooth is out!

10pm, 12am, 2am, 4am, 5am, 6am - that is the regular hours that Annabelle wakes up crying in the middle of the night for the past few nights... Help us!

We felt the first tooth cutting out on the 4th and thought the nights will be better, but she is still waking up every 2 hours and wants to be nursed... I wonder if it is the tooth that is causing this or growth spurt or she is just waking up at night and wants to get some comfort... HELP!

The Weather Sucks!

I thought spring is coming... or so that was what people here are saying. But it was snowing again on Thursday and Friday. Well well well, welcome to Germany's great weather!

So it was snowing and snowing and I had my first experience driving while it was snowing... Nothing special though. Just got to be more careful!

And I went for my first yoga class with my SIL. It is cool, relaxing and fun! Stretch stretch stretch... mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. But I forgot all the steps already. I think age is catching up! 

The Spring is Coming

After the very hot weather in Malaysia, I must admit that I look forward to some cold weather, but not too cold of course... and the weather here in Germany is slowly improving, at least no longer the -ve temperature... but +ve now... and yesterday, the temperature is up to 18degrees... 

So of course, the must do is to go out for a walk and have an ice cream! Alex couldn't resist to start BBQ, so here is what we got for our dinner... nicely grilled beer can chicken. Cool right?
