Baby cousin Kellin

My beautiful cousin, Kellin William, born 15 July 2008.
This is her at one-week-old.
Hey, I used to wear that cute, comfy shirt!

See! Here's me in that shirt, when I was slightly more than one month old.

Sorry I've been MIA for more than a week now. You must be wondering what's going on in the picture. It's a long story.

The third day after I was given the rice cereal, I developed fever. Went to a paediatrician who told me I had sore throat. He said I was too "heaty", that the rice cereal was too "heaty" for me. So I am off the rice cereal and mum had to water down my formula milk. Dr Hiew prescribed me anti-biotics and told me I had to finish the course over five days. My mum was up for two nights measuring my temperature every hour to check my fever.

Two days after the medicine, my temperature was back to normal and she fell sick herself. She consulted a friend who scolded her for giving me antibiotics at so young age. Gave us directions to see a Chinese physician who specialises in children tui na (Chinese massage). So what you see in the photo is me having my back rubbed. It's not as bad as it looks. I enjoyed most part of it, I just hate to lie on my stomach.

When I got home, I fell asleep immediately...deep deep sleep...

The massage starts gently, with my palm. You can see me enjoying it.
