Hi Mummies,
Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year!
It has been a busy 2 weeks for us... started before new yr, both kids were coughing and had flu. Then me & hb had stomach flu. We were so sick but still had to look after both kids. Then Cole's cough got worse despite nebulizing him. he was wheezing and couldnt sleep at night. Dr's clinic wasnt open until monday. Gosh... really terrible week. After that I had a bout of diarrhoea. Then now my girl is having diarrhoea. Cole lost 380g & my girl 700g & me 2kg!
Birthday bash:
Thanks for organizing it... i have started preferred date [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Solids:
I have no problem feeding Cole. he can finish his meal within 10mins. But last time my girl will take at least 1-2hrs to finish her meal and still do. so really had to give her variety & cook only what she likes. Have to try all kinds of food and see which one she likes best. that was a big headache. Once she thinks she had enough of porridge, she will go on to rice with soup. Then just add some veg for her. She dislike meat so at that time i had to plan carefully her diet. She loves noodles & rice only. Cole is way much better, he takes his beef, chicken & salmon. I tried giving him threadfin but he absolutely hates it. refused to eat it so i told my hb, he has got expensive taste! hahaha probably will try giving him cod fish and see what is his reaction.
pasta sauce,
you can try boiling carrots, onions & potato with chix stock till soft, then add in cheese and blend together, makes a great pasta sauce. You can also add in chix meat if you think you want meat in your bb's diet. Thats what i do for cole when i cook his favourite pasta. for pasta, can either use ABC pasta or organic pasta for bbs.

bb birthday party:
i have yet to organize anything. sigh... too busy looking after the kids cus all sick. hmm will do so next week. Prob rent some toys - slides, bouncy castles etc and get a ballonist & cake. there you go... i've done my planning.
Cake - you all may wanna try Room for desserts! The cake is really fabulous! I ordered from them for my girl's 3rd birthday and they did the unicorn exactly what i wanted.
i also had friends recommending me strictly pastry. They all said its very good!
Smiling orchid - fanciful designs available & price is very affordable. Taste wise - cake is very light & not too sweet. nothing to rave about the taste. Gd service. I had my girl's disney princesses cake done there.
ecreative cakes - heard the colourings on the cake will stain the mouth? I went there to try before... nothing to rave about. its very ordinary.
AR,
I also want to order!!! i need to find some time to sit down and shop hahaha when will you be ordering??
