New Hairstlye...

Naomi got a new hairstyle!! Finally, I cut her fringe…:)
> She now look like a china doll OR in Malaysia most commonly known as “tempurung head” (“tempurung” = coconut shell).

I haven't cut her hair before cause I love styling her hair with all sorts of girly accessories like cute pins and clips….and she don't have much hair to begin with (although she’s already past 1 year old).

There were several occasions when nobody was looking at her, she will grasp her pin from her hair and quickly put it inside her mouth and chew (as if she’s eating something). First incident, Alice(babysitter) went to the kitchen to cook and when she came out she saw Naomi was chewing - something inside her mouth so she asked her children whether did they gave any food to Naomi. They all said no so Alice quickly open Naomi's mouth to inspect and she found Naomi's hairpin inside her mouth. From then onwards, no more pin for her. So Alice used black rubber band to tie her hair. But she was still able to pull the rubber band.
2nd incident, quite similar to the above but it happened at our house. Normally I will put her pin beside our bed's table and one afternoon she took it and put inside her mouth and play with it (chewing motion).
I saw her chewing something & I quickly force open her mouth and took out the a pin at that instance from her mouth!! Luckily she didn’t swallow the pin cause this will cause choking and extremely dangerous!!! So last Sunday, I took out the scissors (from my mother-in law who use to cut the family’s hair) and snipped her fringe…it’s a bit crooked though but will try snip again when she’s sleeping… I can’t get her to sit still while I cut her hair….need to think of new tricks…when she saw the scissors she will run away….here’s her pictures before and after the hair cut….

Weekend @Penang Butterfly Farm

Last Saturday, we went to the Penang Butterfly Farm with Jason & his gf and of course we took Naomi along. Butterfly Farm is located in Teluk Bahang near to Batu Feringhi.
Penang Butterfly Farm is named the World's First Tropical Live Butterfly Sanctuary, which I think the name is cool even though I don't get the whole meaning of it.
Entrance fee is RM10 for Malaysian adult and RM20 for none Malaysian. This is a good place for photographer or you’d like to try out your camera quality.
We were so excited to bring Naomi along because we wanted Naomi to explore the nature surroundings there. OK, back to the journey, Naomi slept in the car and right before we reach the entrance so we had to wake her up. She’s so cranky and didn’t smile for photos. The weather was not really that 'hot' but the place was covered with this see through net which make the whole place warm and the air ventilation was very bad so little Naomi and I was sweating profusely….
Little Naomi was jumping up and down when she saw the butterfly and kept chasing them. She wanted to touch the butterfly but I did not allow her as I’m scared she’ll harm the butterfly as they’re very fragile creatures. After about 1 hour, Naomi began to feel restless and sleepy. She’s very dehydrated I can see and she kept asking for more H20!!
Even though the place it’s called Butterfly Farm, you can see other reptiles, insects, birds and flowers esp orchids.
Anyway, we really enjoy ourselves there and it was a great experience for little Naomi !!
Here are some of the pictures from the trip. Enjoy..

Outdoor with Naomi...

Naomi loves the outdoors very much…She loves to run around our house porch and garden. She likes to see what is going on outside the house (E.g: traffic – when she sees a car passing in front of our house, she will says “kar”, clouds moving, trees and birds) and experience the infinite and diverse sensory qualities of the world (the smells – chester’s output for example, the feels – fresh air? , the sounds) and experiment with the “big behaviors” such as shouting, running and jumping!

Jump for Joy....


Running towards Ah Kong....


Strolling...


After that, I had to bathe her as she was sweating all over!!
