berry,
gabe & i brushed our teeth tgt in the morn. i'll brush my teeth while he does so. i demo 2 him how 2 brush his 7 front teeth and he imitates. then we take turns 2 brush each other teeth. i brush his teeth wif his toothbrush n he brushes mine wif my toothbrush. i tik gabe enjoys this activity very much cos when i forgets 2 involve him when i'm brushing my teeth, he starts making noise, pointing in the direction of his yellow toothbrush.
mayb u wanna try tis? i tot bb likes 2 imitate now so if faye sees u do it, she may wanna follow?
evelyn,
3 is out of the question now if i wanna b a SAHM, husband not earning enuff 2 support 5mouths. i'll only consider if he earns a decent amt of income and when i am ready (need 2 b mentally prepared later on, just in case the 3rd bb is a boy).

u got me wrong lah, when i said stop the soya sauce thing, i meant your mum's nagging. does your mum know that u feed YX outside food? if she knows, maybe she won't say so much?
wah... your MIL... i got nothing much to say leh. u were caught in a situation then, cannot say no.

Teething,
A finally cutting molar! Very big ah.
Daddy's gal,
In the morning leaving for work, he kiss A at least twice (once each cheek), me ah... not that many! HMPH!
But we're both quite "strict" in a sense lah (but very overprotective over falls)- when I'm upset that my mum scolded me for scolding A, he will reassure me I did the right thing (but when my mum complain to him, he won't disagree with her, hah!). Then again, my mum is quite extreme too... imagine I'm "firm" with A in public- A cries, and my mum will hug A while defending that A is teething, that she's only 16mths old baby, that I AM CRUEL. Wahliao. People see a fat fierce preggie, and an old woman hugging a wailing toddler...

AFFECTION- Faye wakes up only after hb leaves for work, so dun have SA when he leaves. But then once she wakes up, often she'll go 'daddyyy??' and these days she goes 'daddyyy? Nai naaaii? Ye yeee?'. The funny thing is that she is not even that crazy about my pils at all, these days they dont get to carry her for even one sec when we go over on sundays( anyway they gave up liao hehe) 
And whenever I ask her to say mummy, she'll promptly say dadddyyyy! and grin! So actually till now at nearly 17mth, Faye still hasnt really started calling me mummy yet wahaha!
But she definitely knows how to pronouce it tho- sometimes she points to pictures of mummies in families in her books and can repeat 'mummy' after me, jst that she simply wont call ME mummy Hehe oh well, nvm lar
MT, never seen u scold Tena before lol! What u scold ah? Scold over wat?
kelly, I've tried that for months, doesnt work leh.

central incisor are the front teeth, my dear
<font color="ff6000">charsiew</font>
of course she knew that i'm feeding her outside food....just that she seldom get the chance to "see"
aiyah, she won't stopped nagging one...cos home cook food i did not add seasoning and that will give her very good reason to yak; well, even if i were to add i must "inform" her and "show" her one else dun think she will believe me
she told me her fren's son keep fainting cos his diet very bland!!
then my auntie (my father's 2nd wife) also nagged at me, saying that her brother was very strict with the eldest daughter diet when she was very young, just like me!!! everything also cannot eat, esp salt and soysauce!! duh
end up it backfired cos the girl turned out to be a little slow and couldn't concentrate for more than 1/2 hour when studying and during exams; doctor checked and said the girl lacked something but when i asked my auntie what is that something she couldn't answer
the girl couldn't catch up with her peers so now in normal stream
my auntie said last time she anyhow feed her daughter (my half younger sister) and now she's in express!!
i rebutted her saying many of my frens practise the same way as i am and their kids are fine wat!!

Peng san lah like that, u have to entertain your mum, auntie and mil!
don't understand why the old folks are so much into salt and soya sauce. i do add a bit of soya sauce to isabel's porridge, but i think if she likes it without any seasoning, i will be happy too.

Berry,
I dun scream/ shout, but very firmly and sternly tell A, "pls WAIT." Then told my mum to let go A's hand (A was trying to drag my mum out by the hand mah). Very low-key, but A bursts in tears quite easily at even stern tones... then my mum another melodramatic one, must squat down and hug Athena, say A's teething lah, young lah, etc etc. *rolls eyes*
pcs,
aiyoh come back home my mum again complained to my HB that I cruel.

RE:MMR jab
Wah, sounds like ur tods r taking the jab so well, no struggle, so tears etc. Kieran has to skip his jab cos he was down wif a fever on thur which went away on fri. PD advised us to postpone the jab jus in case. Haiz... gotta wait another week liao. I can't wait for all the jabs to be over and done with.
puff,
Ur mum not sian abt nagging the same things over and over again?
MT,
Heheheheh, same here lah... dun worry abt dat, jus tink, u can always make it up to her after u deliver, which is pretty soon. Now i only feed him, play/read/sing/watch tv with him sitting down, sleep with him, carry him for less than 3 mins kind at most.
berry,
Kieran goes 'Daaaaa-daaaaa' to call his daddy all the time and refuses to call me. But since last week, he has started calling me 'Maaaaaa-maaaaaa' but of cos still not as much as he calls his daddy. But like dat i oso happy liao. Hehehe...

Sharon,
Aiyoh, too late. Meghan already had her jab, on the arm some more! Which PD/GP did u go to?
re: Daddy's gal
Umm, Meghan is mummy's gal, I think. When she wakes up, she don want her daddy to pick her up leh, she rather sit in her cot & wait for me to come get her. Will even go so far as to push his hands away. If I'm out, she'll wait long enough to realise I'm not coming, then no choice lah will let daddy carry her.
Puff,
How abt going over to ur Mum's place sometimes instead of her coming over? Mebbe if she's not at ur house, she won't nag so much (err, I hope!)
Medusa,
Meghan's the same as Athena, very mama drama! Just speak sternly to her & she'll burst into tears. Anyway, think most grandparents will spoil the little ones lah, most of the time have to close one eye lor.
Some recent pics
Enjoying the seabreeze!
Having her milk & relaxing at the same time

Hello mummies
Pai seh... didn't manage to tell you all abt our holidays during xmas. Very long over-due story I guess
Anyway, when we were in KL, at in-law's home, jodie got 20+ mozzie bites mainly on the right side of her face and ear. It looked so bad, people were asking if jodie had chicken pox.
Then, Jodie caught the flu on the 2nd day there. I got grounded by MIL cos' she didn't allow jodie to go out and I had to take care of jodie
Daddy happily went gallivanting at the malls whilst I became 24hr slave to the princess... inconsiderate sod
(the daddy, not the priness)
But anyway, jodie recovered enuff by the following week so we went ahead to phuket. Arrived there 1 day after the 1st anniversary of the tsunamis. Stayed at a resort which suffered structural damages during the tsunamis but no casualty. It was still being repaired 1 yr on.
HB and family went to patong beach on the 1st night. That place suffered one of the worst devastation during the calamity so I decided to stay put in the resort with jodie.
Am not superstitious myself, but I didn't want to take any chances with jodie since she just recovered. Strange behaviour huh. Couldn't explain myself either.
Long story summarised. Hope I have not bored u girls to tears.
Moral of the story: bring truck-loads of mozzie repellants and find out location of nearest PD if you're travelling.

Oh yar... jodie's becoming a really finicky eater. She used to eat anything and everything. She still has a very healthy appetite but she beginning to reject food she doesn't like.
Am worried, I tried out Gerber's cereal (fish+vege flavour) on her today. She took a few spoonful and refused to eat anymore.
Gave her chicken sticks and Heinz golden vege risotto, both got rejected as well. She's also not taking the plain cereal she used to eat.
Cham leow, next weekend we're going to malacca, can't cook her porridge. How?!?!?

Kelly,
Wah lao, cannot stand your boss! What an a**h***! Reminds me of my ex-ex-boss! Singaporean woman, would say things like "Don't take MC! Even if you're sick and the doctor gives you MC, come back to work!" After I became preggie, I heck care her, some more if taking MC will ask the doctor for 2 days MC. After I changed to an angmoh boss, things were so much better, he even gave me days off when I went back to work on weekend. At least when I left the company it was on a happy note.

Medusa,
Wah, you bought new camera ah. Sorry, I too lazy to read archive, what camera is it? Can take so nice pictures (or is it the camera-woman?). I was so tempted to buy new camera cuz I think my old one is dying no thanks to my son and my nephew. Saw some "M.I.S" camera, no shaking one or something.

kypf,
no lah same old Kyocera camera... I don't recommend it now, cos after some usage, I find the battery charger losing its potency. Erratic charging ability, and number of shots seem to be decreasing. My back-up brandless charger is even more problematic. I'm just waiting for this camera to die on me, hopefully after enough mileage , yet not too soon, or HB will nag lah. By then should have even more camera models to choose from, wahaha.
In meantime, I take lots of shots at home cos I can recharge in-between, or even just connect the adapter to the camera while snapping.
Deniz,
havent seen ur Meghan's pics here in such a long time! Must post more, aiyoh, but let me hide the beach pics from Athena... we haven't brought her there for a long time already, yikes.

maybe u should tell ur mum it's calcium that helps teeth growth and not salt/soy sauce. tell her even GP says bland food is best for babies.
think we sama sama.. me also din buy any clothings for the past 3 yrs (except maternity clothings) and also bought 2 T-shirts for CNY.. hahaha.. and the last time i visit my hair stylist was couple of days before my EDD. after that, no visit to hairstylist until juz before CNY THIS year. only went to an aunt who open a neighbourhood salon to get a hair cut.
<font color="aa00aa">little devil,</font>
Quinn got "blue black" on forehead is it? that day Shanice also fell. think she knocked on the table, then fell to floor, and fell backwards!!! but no bruise or baluku... heng ah.
<font color="aa00aa">medusa,</font>
my parents also the same.. when we try to teach Shanice, they'll say she's still too young, cannot understand.. when she get irritated easily, they'll say she's teething lah, etc... when i don't add seasoning into her porridge or veg, my dad will say, no taste, she also know not nice, dun wanna eat lah. erm... if she's still too young, then how come she also "know" not nice???
<font color="0000ff">fish</font>
have stopped fish for quite a while alr.. been giving her mostly codfish.. once a while threadfin. that day GP says no need codfish or threadfin, "kam-mong" fish is good enough. and easy to remove the boneless part... prob will switch to that, to cut cost lah....

lildevil,
wah ur MIL cried! Oh dear, and u all lost items and broke glasses. Hope this wk better after all the emotional release, hehe.
Hmm usually when this happens... I blame my HB! In ur case there's gd communication of expectations, in our case, usually HB *forgets* to tell PILs whether or not we're dropping by- told him must inform them in advance so they can plan their own lives (no need to sit around wondering if we're joining, and no disappointment on their part). If I have anything on, eg. PGs or A's classes or outing, I will remind PILs we're not free during that timing. I'm getting very naggy .
kidsplay- I feel our kids more assertive, will specify which foods, which book to read, exactly how they want to place certain toys etc . Last time more imitative behaviour, now is modified to their preferences haha.

hi, mummies
we are back from Bali. hmm, not very good a trip bcoz rhyan couldn't eat well and i guess that stressed us out. he just ate very minimal fm the food we had and milk for the rest.
luckily, i brought some apple muesli (Heinz) which he did finish. the food there were really tasty, too tasty for our likings. besides tt, he wanted to go out of the hotel room ALL THE TIME to the beach and the pool. he was very bored on the plane too, kept wanting to come down and run everywhere.
i think, both hb and i were totally tired out. hehe! i washed milk bottles and rinse with hot distilled water so many times a day while hb kept bringing rhyan for walks. wahahaha! but overall, it was a good experience with bringing a tot on holiday for the first time though i think we won't plan for another one so soon again lah

i guess my mum is not tired of nagging again and again, else she would have given up long ago
besides the salt thingy, EVERY week without fail, she would also complained that Yingxin's hair is too long and i should bring her for hair cut
she would also grumbled that i should not feed room temperature water to Yingxin as it will cause gastric pain, must add hot water to make it warm....told her gastric pain is due to irregular meal times but she insisted she is right
<font color="ff6000">deniz</font>
going over to my mum's place makes no difference...sigh, worse still cos she will complained to her neighbour about how small size Yingxin is!!
LOL on Meghan relaxing pose and drinking milk at the same time

<font color="ff6000">angelia</font>
i told my mum thousand times that babies do not need salt and soy sauce (of course that is more applicable to 1 year and below lah, above 1 year can intro a little bit lah) and showed her articles and also told her doctors said so but she refused to believe me! she said last time when i was at 6 months she fed me rubbish liao and she rather believed those old aunties cos she said they are very experienced in raising kids while i know nothing!!! and she will also say "what do the doctors know??"
u see lah....
the last time i went to hair salon was when i was 5 months preggy back in jul/aug 2004....hahah...then last week buay tahan already, went to a neighbourhood salon to have it trimmed...but very ugly
<font color="ff6000">medusa</font>
i also dunno wat sort of person MIL is, and i dun wanna find out too....
her 2nd son often buys her branded bags, wallet, clothes, accessories and she always showed off to people but at the same time will grumbled that the son did not give her money and instead buys her stuff which is so wasteful!!
yes, Yingxin is very assertive nowadays...insisting on self-feeding and will refused to eat if i feed her
<font color="ff6000">little devil</font>

Went Daiso IMM and bought 2 chairs, each $2! Wt limit 25kg, stackable, various colours, seat height 20cm but still abit high for my girl- she sits at edge so that her feet touch floor.
IKEA Children chairs ~30cm, even worse for her
. Too bad no matching Daiso tables- IKEA Children tables ~48-50cm, too high too. Our normal coffee-table height ~42cm will pair with these Daiso chair heights though, but I'm looking for a plasticky coffee-table lor .
MIL was exclaiming why I pregnant carry bulky stuff... until my girl did this lah!
1 hand hold each chair easily and swing about- it's very light. Doesn't seem to topple easily, relatively stable though.
Athena in more ladylike pic, instead of all that tomboyish swinging-chair-about.

Berry, . A likes it as much as I do, LOL.
Deniz, it's Colettee sandals, I dun think I have pic of them- erm, we chose this cutting cos alot of HOLES for breathability. A's shoes STINK otherwise, since I don't bother with socks. It's nubuck though, not an easy material to maintain :/ .
Yah, #2 a boy, hence the chair colours... LOL!

Want to rave
Athena said "ng-ng" and looked at me, I quickly led her to toilet, her diaper was CLEAN, put her on the trainer seat and she tried very hard... with success .
Must rave cos I dun recall if this is the 1st time she's managed clean-diaper-and-bingo-in-toilet-bowl, if she has in the past... must be so long I forgotten liao, LOL!
After clean-up etc, we were playing with her cloth board (which has removable felt animals)- was teaching her "SHEEP" (actually it's a RAM lah, but dun wan to confuse her haha). She replied, "SHIT". LOL. HB cannot blame me for that hor!

medusa,
i am VERY impressed with athena being able 2 say ng-ng, understand wat it means n do the motion. she is very advanced.
i also cant wait for her to say "sheep". LOL!
i had a gd laugh, looking at athena's pic where she lifted both chairs. it reminds me of female weightlifters carrying dumb-bells. wat athena needs is a belt 2 complete the pic

i usu cooked for 2 meals if using slow cooker (cos also estimated wrongly, end up portion enough for 2 meals).
but i usually will off the slow cooker after the porridge is cooked, and reheat the remaining at dinner time either microwave or steam.

Angelia,
Reheat? I think i wun do this becos i heard reheat porridge caused wind and my mum said it's no gd for health. No proof lah but i very kiasi type so i think i will on the slow cooker until din time-very waste electricity hor or maybe go back to cooking 2 meals.
Oh ya... slow cooker very diff to estimate the portion. Last wkend experient, usual 2 bowls of porridge can become 3 bowls.

TUMMY VIRUS
gabe's down wif tummy virus since sat morn 3am. he was rather ill, vomitting & diarrhoea. he even had high fever over the wkend and hasnt been drinking milk or eating any solids (other than a lil bread) at all. he supposedly improved on sun nite but relapsed again on mon morn when he started vomitting badly again.
right now he's recovering but still very lethargic n not as active.
#$@#!^%@* boss
this morning, after i cleared outstanding and/or urgent issues, i told my boss tat i needed 2 take 1/2day (PM) off to look after my son. my husband took leave yesterday and i wanted 2 look after gabe 2day. guess wat...my boss used the F word on me once he heard my request. i was shocked he used tat word but didnt say anything. i dunno if he meant it in a negative way or just a way of expression. 2 me, either way is not a gd way 2 behave.
i told husband abt it n he told me 2 quit ASAP. no need 2 hang around 2 "shou qi". i told husband tat once gabe gets well (cos tat's my top priority now), i'll advise GF abt all the stuff i went thru and check wif her if it's ok i quit on her like this.

medusa/sharon,
gabe likes 2 lift heavy funny things...he lifted his petpet L-sized diaper, a 1.8L pet bottle, a huge cooking pot, pails (big & bulky type), boxes to walk around the hse. he often miss hitting his toes when he drops them. lucky fellow!

Angelia,
Thanks for the pix! Both ur pair & medusa's ( I can roughly guess what it looks like ;P) look really nice. Will go take a look.
Medusa,
Congrats! So can close shop already?
Kelly,
How come ur boss turn out like that? That time ur interviews, it seemed like a dream job, so flexi & all. Like that, ur GF may also face lotsa problems when she returns to work.
