ashley on the seventh day of CNY, and at 15 weeks
poor ashley took her 5-in-1 immunisation jab yesterday, and we also opted for her to take the pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines as well. our poor girl had two long needles pierced into her (chunky) thighs at the same time - like the nurse said, it's so that she didn't have to cry twice... well, makes sense. her face turned all red and she was bawling her eyes out! thankfully she calmed down soon after. :-)
(1) a family self-portrait while waiting for her turn.
(2) this was actually taken after her jab. she calmed down and was drinking quite furiously before falling asleep.
(3-5) look at her, she was still in a pretty chirpy mood before the jabs... but she was hungry so we had to feed her a little, perhaps she got even more upset because her feed was being interrupted.
(6-7) ashley lying on the measuring scale, all ready to take her height (or rather, length). she's 60.1cm (50% percentile, which is to be expected since we're both kind of average) and 7.01kg (90% percentile!)... and she has a slightly average head size at 75% percentile. the nurse also commented that her neck is pretty strong now, as she can sit up well with support. :-)
(8) this last picture is her taking the rotavirus vaccine; this vaccine is taken orally (thank god). she was "tricked" by aunty nurse into thinking it's her milk, no wonder she started crying again soon after, haha!
after the whole ordeal at the polyclinic, we came home for lunch... and she had her first yu sheng. well, not exactly lao-ing the yu sheng, but at least she had some shots taken with it! and that's her playing with one of her last few ang pows given by her bo-bo (my brother, who just came back from koh samui); she can now grasp things very well, and can also hold on to them for a pretty long period of time. :-) she's also trying to rollover, always twisting her body to one side when lying on her back, but i think she hasn't yet figured out where those little arms should be. i think she'll need another week or so, but meanwhile we have to be really cautious especially when changing her on the bed... just in case.
