Baby Manifest

How can someone so small, need so much things?

Chances are, if you a new dad like me, you will be astonished just how much we need to carry and prepare in order to go out for a walk with the baby.

All of 54cm and 4.25kgs, Maegan's entourage of people and stuff seems befitting of that of a queen. Here's the Baby Manifest that the Tan family need to make sure we have before we even step out of the door.

1. Pram
2. Car Seat
3. Diaper Bag
4. 3 new diapers
5. 3 set of clothings (one for change, one for warmth and one for emergency)
6. 2 pacifiers
7. Water feeding bottle
8. Changing mat
9. Diaper cloth
10. Blanket
11. Extra mittens
12. Extra socks
13. Hand towel
14. Musical Elmo (for the pram ride)
15. Beanie (if it's a night outing)
16. Camera (that's my requirement)

That's not all. When reaching the car, we start the engine and the aircon for her, strap her car seat properly in the back seat and slowly place her in. We turn the radio station to Symphony 92.4 and drive with so much caution I feel like I'm a women (oops.. that didn't come out right ;) just kidding!)

Considering the fact that she is accompanied by her dad, mum, grandma, grandpa and helper, she does have a lot to surround her just to go out for ... an hour?

Incredible.
