Keira at Jalan Besar Healthy Baby Show 2007!


Papa, mama and Keira had a great time at the Jalan Besar Healthy Baby Show today! Keira was such a darling when we arrived at Jalan Besar CC this morning at around 845am! We registered Keira and her participant # was Baby A06... At the main hall, she was delighted to see so many balloons, babies and toddlers! She was laughing and almost non-stop..haha... many mums, dads and their babies were looking at Keira and smiling coz she was pointing everywhere and laughing!

We took some pictures and waited for friend Shermaine to arrive...At around 9, Shermaine arrived with her mum and dad! Keira was super excited to see Shermaine and wasn't shy to touch her... while Shermaine was kinda shocked with her enthusiam as she hadn't really warmed up with us yet... :-p. Shermaine was registered as Baby A18.

When our Baby # was called, Keira went for the test/check up. While outside the waiting room, Keira starting yawning! OMG.. wait a time.. haha... Oh.. well... 9-nish is usually about time for her morning nap.. haha... I peeped into the test/check up and saw the baby in front of Keira reacting rather well to the 2 doctors... playing with the toys and letting the lady doc to carry her. At the moment, I told my hb, gosh... "haha... Keira is going to freak out with 2 strangers!"....

Just as expected! Keira was clinging on to me almost the whole time while she was placed on the table. She wasn't reacting well to the 2 docs and didn't really want to pick up the objects. Well, one of the criteria was to see if the baby was able to pick up objects, their eye movement, reactions etc.... I tried to play with Keira and showed her... made her relaxed... and after a while, she began to "open" up a little.. and started pointing at the objects, observing and holding. The lady doc asked me couple of questions like "What did she eat? What fruits has she started on, and what's her fav? How long did I breastfeed her for? Can she crawl/stand? To her last question, I said "ya, she crawls all over, she can sit after crawl and stand by herself with support. To my answered, the lady doc said "Oh..wow...that's good! Let's get Keira to crawl on the table!" .. @_@... table??? eh.... r u sure????, I asked with shock! haha....

When we both came out of the room, papa and I said to each other.... "alamak...she was scared la..." and we both knew she wasn't going to win anything... hehe...

Shermaine went for her turn as well...

The guest-of-honour Jalan Besar MP arrived at about 11am for the results and prize giving session. Our 2 princesses were in their wonderland... in sweat, wahaha.... By the time they were ready to announce the 3 healthy bb winners, Shermaine had already woken up while Keira was still sweating in her nap... haha... on papa's shoulders! Just then, the MC called out ...."The Healthy Baby award, not in any order of merit...goes out.... Keira Leong! We were all still glued to our seats, and only came to realise when the MC called out again... Keira Leong. I asked papa... our Keira? She won??? then MC called another time... Keira Leong. Ok.. must be her. Papa asked me to bring her up, I took Keira ... walked up to the stage. OMG... u should see her.. she was perspiring... with a messed up hair and was still wondering "eh.. what happen? why wake me up?... haha....not bad man, got a trophy + little hamper ;-)

Well... enough said... check out our pictures above... 1 lovely-demure princess and 1 wild-one!
