It's her first time swimming.. We woke up around 8.30am+.. After her milk feed + egg yolk + fruit puree, I changed her into her swimwear, and we set off~
The water was damn cold la.. I hugged her tightly, then slowly sit into the water.. Initially, I can tell she is cold.. Just when I planning to call it off, then I see her react better to the water already.. So we juz continue sitting in the water, slowly sitting deeper into the pool so that the water reach her higher.. I let her put on her float, and float by herself.. But she was unfamiliar with the experience, so clinged onto me.. So I took off her float and let her play in the water in my arms again..
After awhile, I put on the float for her again.. This time round, she feels abit more confident, and learnt to float by herself.. But I can tell she is still alittle scared coz she is gripping onto the side of the float..
But within a few mins, she starts to enjoy herself in the water, and kick kick kick away from me.. hahaa.. Even have the mood to KPO other jiejies when they run around playing in the pool..
And she is so silly, she is opening her mouth to catch the water that dropped on her face.. muahahaha!!
We swam around 30mins, then we set off coz she is getting tired.. After changing, I juz fed her and sat her into the sling and there she doze off against my chest again.. =)
I brought her Farley's Rusk today.. Look at her messy face..

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
