真是一個值得紀念的日子！再過不久我就不用餵飯了！
What a day! I don't need to busy feeding baby at dinner time pretty soon!

每個農曆新年之前，孩子們都會畫一幅圖畫作賀卡。
我原以為雪雪明年才開始參與，不料她也要學哥哥們要了紙和筆，
高高興興的開始畫她的第一幅畫了。

The boys draw cards every Chinese New Year. I thought my girl is going to join them next year.
Instead, Janet yells for pencil and paper and starts her very first drawing tonight.

病後的二豬和小豬忽然變得很會吃。

二哥自一年前起開始不大肯吃，加上增高了不小，所以體型變得頗瘦，加上連續腹瀉了好幾天，身上僅餘的肉都一下子不見了：手腕只有我的拇指和食指圈起來那麼粗、大腿比大哥的手臂還幼、小腿－－引用爸爸的話－－就像那些照片上鬧饑荒的地方的小孩子一樣，叫人看了很難過。

至於小，雖然上吐下瀉，她一直保持很想吃的狀態，只是病了的時候吃下去的都吐出來。

現在兄妹二人都好起來了，二哥好像終於發現太瘦不是一件好事，於是十分積極認真地吃正餐。此外他每天都額外要求多一份成人份量的茶點。（但晚餐的份量不變，通通吃掉！）



在他多次請求下，今天放學後特地給他買了一個美心的菠蘿油蟲蟲包作第二份茶點（這款包點他想了很久，不過它中間夾了三塊牛油，實在不太健康，所以一直沒有給他買。不過經此一役，他有足夠的配額去吃這些高脂食物了。）－－大概學校茶點的份量實在太少了－－迪迪一下子便把它吃掉了，而且吃得很高興。

雪雪好了以後一直要吃，有點瘋狂，也難於應付（例如十一時多還嚷著要吃爸爸的晚餐不肯去睡！）起初不明所以，到昨天她不停流口水才發現她在長牙－－是第七和第八隻牙仔－－大概她覺得很不舒服吧……

BB時候的大哥也喜歡這樣隨手翻翻書。好像真的會讀似的。

引用外公的話：「唔知就俾佢嚇死，知道就俾佢（引到）笑死！」

吹出來的泡泡，一個比一個大，還可以用棒子捧著四處走，兩隻豬豬都玩得很盡興。

小豬呢？

嘿！為了可以和哥哥們一起玩，她終於肯坐一下學行車了。

這一個傍晚，迪迪不適，還吐了一次，很早就睡了。
In the evening, Mandi is not feeling well. He spits, then when to sleep.

我在拼命地洗二哥的髒衣物。
I wash Mandi's clothes in the bathroom.



大哥一直在煲電話粥。
Nolan keep talking on the phone.



雪雪在大家各自各忙的時候，把一串裝飾聖誕樹用的閃閃珠子掛在自己身上，然後得意地踏出她的第一小步。
While everyone is busy, my little Janet, puts on a piece of shinny jewel from the Christmas tree, and takes her very first step proudly.

今天一早就發瘋似的收拾，弄了半天才找到個地方放聖誕樹。

上次個聖誕雪雪還小－－年紀小，身驅也小－－除了把她放在樹下面看閃燈，那棵對她並沒有意義。今年原以為她會和哥哥一樣為家中忽然出現的大樹感到興奮，怎料她隨手抓了個飾物把玩，根本不理會兩位活蹦亂跳的哥哥在幹甚麼。

I was crazy cleaning the house this morning to find a place for the tree.

Janet was too small and too young for Christmas tree last year - we just put her lay under it to watch the twinkle light. I was looking forward that she would as excited as her brother this time. However, Janet just grabbed one of the decorations and played by herself, ignoring the laughing and screaming behind her thoughout the whole process.



裝好聖誕樹，迪迪立刻從盒子裡拿掛飾。樂倫則很疑惑的打量樹身：「這棵樹好像比去年矮了些嘛……」想了一下，他就意會到是自己長高了。很有啟發性，不過也實在很搞笑。

星星是二哥掛的。今年已不用我幫忙，他們一下子就把所有飾物掛上了。

Mandi got the shinny stuffs once the tree was setted up while Nolan stood still with a puzzle look at the tree., "The tree seems taller last year...", he said. It took him several minutes to realize that it is because he get taller than last year. Instructive? Yes. Funny? Yes, too.

Mandi put the star on. They put everything on the tree by themselves.



也許明年我連樹也不用裝，他們會一手包辦了。

Perhaps they don't need me to set up the tree next year.

終於找到一對可以穿得上又不會掉下來的鞋子！

雖然妹妹未會自己走，但也想試試拖著她走一小段路。起初看到我把門開著，又沒有嬰兒車或揹帶，雪雪就一味拉著我叫嚷。我告訴她：「今天我們不用車。」還未說完，她居然倚著門閘自己走出去，樣子滿得意的。

可惜由門口走到大堂已走上老半天，明天還是帶車子出去比較好了。

今天是雪雪的第十三個月生辰，因為家裡正忙著大清理，或許今天不會安排特別的慶祝活動。但既然是一個紀念日，就記述一下雪雪的特別事。
直至昨晚，小妹已經踏出過她的小小第一步、會用叉子進食、有六隻牙齒、晚上會伏在床上睡、夜半醒來會自己開著音樂盒哄自己再入睡、喜愛翻書本、會叫爸爸媽媽姐姐哥哥公公婆婆爺爺和街街、愛洗澡抱毛毛熊和丟東西、聽到塑膠袋磨擦的聲音會很雀躍。妹妹最經典和最常做的動作是五體投地。

Today is Janet's 13 months old birthday. There is a big house cleaning here, we are not going to have celebration most likely. As it is a special day, and I will make a little record for her.

Till last night, Janet has already took her first little step, she can eat with fork, has 6 teeth, sleeping with her face down, would turn on the music box to help herself sleeping again if she wakes up during midnight. She likes flipping pages of books, able to say, "papa (dad), mama (mum), gege (sister), gogo (brother), gunggung (grandpa), popo (grandma), yeiyei (grandpa) and gaaigaai (street). Janet loves taking bath, teddy and throwing stuff. She feels exciting when hear sound of plastic bag. Janet's classic motion is "starfish" (stick on the floor with her face down).

瑞比是個嚕嚕叨叨的角色。因為雪雪，我第一次覺得牠討人喜歡。

雖然不是第一次，但每次見到她站起來，都覺得很驚起。當父母的，大概都是這樣吧！

雪雪是早產兒，半年要返回醫院覆診一次。

今次檢查，雪雪頭圍46厘米，重9.1公斤。

我們碰到去年我留院期間認識的Alice、她的丈夫和兒子家寶。家寶已有十四個月大，長得頗高的。中午大家都沒空，改約下次覆診時一起吃午飯。

我們也認識到住在同一區的另一位媽媽Candy，和她的十個月大女兒冬兒。

雪雪和冬兒，很有聖誕氣氛哩！

去年少萍姨刻意挑一件較大的小熊連身外套送給雪雪，說可以穿久一點。去年當袍子用，一年後的今天穿上剛好合身。

2008．11．27

101.7度。

看見雪雪五體投地的趴在地上，既不叫人玩，又不叫人抱，就知道是時候要替她量體溫。

然而她服藥的樣子太頑皮，教人很難相信她病了。
