Michele,
just viewed ur blog, u're really pretty n ur mum really young!
dal,
are u interested in baby yoga? There's a book titled "Itsy Bitsy Yoga", sold in Babies n' Cream, GWC. It has illustrations on how to do yoga for baby throughout the various stages of crawling, standing etc. My elder gal was quite receptive to baby yoga from that book,

. Unfortunately, my boy seems to rather dislike such stuff when we tried on him.
Stellagwee/ Abt "Baby Can Read",
I have that, my elder gal loved it when she was a baby. She learnt how to clap etc from the song sequences in it.
Again, depends on the baby's temperament- my boy won't have any of it.
Toto/ Abt blank cards,
I'm interested in some blank flashcards, probably only 30pcs A5 size to try out. May be too small to add on to yours, let me know anyway?
Abt "I Can Read",
ooh ok. I already have the Level 1 and 2 then. I quite like it but til now, only L1 suitable for my 29mth old gal- she's already monolingual in Eng even at this age.
Lyn,
Talking abt mess, can't resist posting this pic of my elder when she was 13mths just embarked on self-feeding, hehe. Agree ur Aloy is advanced- must video to keep for memory too
. My Irv still mamapapababa in a string, not "calling" anyone yet.
Mum2B,
My Irv hasn't called "mama" or "papa" yet but his motor skills devt was faster than my girl. He can crawl v. well and cruise v. steadily, just not standing unsupported yet. Rather resilient too, he'd take a tumble and get himself right up again w/o complaint. Whereas my girl at his age was not as active, extremely cautious in movements, wailed over the slightest bump... but verbal devt faster.
