augbaby,
Now that they are 1,a lot of fruits and veggies are ok for them. So, strawberries and blueberries are ok. Fresh apricots are the same colour as dried one but rounder and jucier (almost like a peach). However, peel off the skin when you feed jayden and also taster it yourself first to ensure that it is not too sour.
I'm alright with the veggies becoming a bit cold to give her as snacks. And, she seems to like it. Actually most of the nutritious stuff especially vegetables are not tasty thus I rather she get use to such bland taste and worry less about good tasty stuff. As when they grow older, they will automatically like to eat the good tasty stuff (fried stuff, fast food, sweets, chips = unhealthy snacks without us 'psychoing' them to eat.
My mil will sometimes comment why I give Rae so much vegetables and fruits. I always replied 'No choice, healthier food don't taste good, so better let her get used to eating more of them when I still can control her diet.

Thanks.I bought the mini carrots, peeled and packed in a bag from Cold Storage. Wet market, like very difficult to find smaller carrots. Nowadays instead of shopping for clothes etc, i end up shopping more in supermarkets to look out for different variety of vegetables & fruits. Just yesterday, I found frozen brussel sprouts at Jason. Previously, I only managed to buy the fresh ones.
Racoon,
Haven't tried baby corn. But, baby carrots are ok just don't give everyday in case of jaudice. For myself, only during weekends.

The website seems interesting, will explore more during weekends. Dried apricots though unsulpured, I'm still sceptical, will only use it like cutting into really small pieces and add into cereals rather than eating the whole dried fruit as a snack. The website don't have fresh apricots.
I bought the Healthy Times Cereals at $6.90 in NTUC. Brown Rice Paradise selling at $7.00. Cold Storage don't have them.

Hi crisann,
Kayden din get his jab afterall. the blur mummy din call the clinic beforehand and when we reached, we saw a notice that it was closed for the day. somemore, kayden lost one of his newly bought shoo shoos in the cab. worn less than half an hour and it's gone. wasted $30 cos the other one can't be worn.
oh dear. must be prepared for his crankiness next week. will get fever or not?

Hi Mummies,
Good morning! Had a very fun and tiring weekend celebrating Hannah's birthday, am sorting out the photos, will post them up shortly. The cup cakes are a hit with the kids, they love it and its not difficult to make. I think a couple of mummies are interested in the recipe, I have it in a hardcopy format, will scan it into a word document, those interested, please pm me your email address and I'll email you.
Saw an advertisement this morning with Cocomo's Jay. Augbaby, I think I saw you too, what's that program about for Sunday afternoon, did you girls do another program for them again :")
Talk to you later, need to clear some work first...

HoneyB,
i think it is a repeat of our gathering @ augustmum's place leh..
Jokojoko,
yah lor.. long story lah. Was in 2 minds about selling it, but in the end, went for it.
Anyway, i still prefer HDB living (can still get $$ from govt when they give payout) and i dun stay far now mah.. only @ St. george's road.
If you stay there.. next time can go find u, cos never step in before leh..
finger food
I have been craacking my head over this issue, as Jadelle has been refusing to take semi-solid food for a while. Then, i realise she wants to eat OUR table food.
Over the weekends this month, i have prepared finger food below for her. She now managed to use her fork from pigeon to pierce the pieces and feed herself.. quite messy though!
- cubes of cheddar cheese
- steam sweet potato & cut into cubes
- baked sweet potato/ potato strips with unsalted butter
- squares of white/ wholemeal bread with spread(apple/ peach/ strawberry puree jam, baby cheddar cheese, cream cheese, vegemite)
- green peas (a little mashed to prevent choking on the round bits)
- unsugared corn flakes with FM/ BM.
- french toast (bread coated with egg yolk and pan fried with unsalted butter)
- steamed carrot sticks
Will try the steam egg custard! thanks, Augustmum!

Augbaby & Amy,
I also buy the small baby carrots, wash and peeled already from supermarkets. they are not the frozen type, it is fresh type.
I found something in cold storage takashimaya, and wondered if any FTWM has tried these with their babies?
- frozen organic spinach (also comes in little spinach balls!)
- frozen brocolli baby florets
- frozen corn kernels
Will these be like green peas? where the vitamins are preserved as they are plucked and frozen immediately and is better then fresh spinach & broccoli?
I bought a packet of organic broccoli to try as weekends, i am really time strapped with many places to go and this helps my MIL to prepare jadelle's porridge during weekdays.

I only let Jay tried frozen peas. Usually will buy fresh spinach. I used to give Jay baby carrot but my maid ask me to buy normally carrot as she said the baby carrot very hard le. My cousin prepare her baby's daily vege intake in each small container during weekend then freeze them. The maid will just take from the freezer everyday.

Jokojoko,
So you went for the trial class at Tumbletots huh, you stay in Sembawang? The new cc is just infront of my mum's house, I also signed up for Hannah. Agree that the gym equipment doesn't look as good as mygym but the area is pretty big, we're going for the free trial class this Sat :")
Augbaby,
Agree with Augustmum that the corner protectors are pretty useless. I had them in my house and Hannah managed to pull them out, worst she was playing with the sticky glue and all her fingers became very sticky and messy and she even wanted to put them into her mouth so in the end we removed them all. If you have really sharp corners, I suggest you use one of those old diaper cloth to wrap around the corner and use those sticky tapes to secure them, looks ugly but serves the same purposes.

Cecelia,
Yes, we made the cup cakes ourselves with a friend's help. Ha, we anyhow decorate lah not enought time to do a better job. The cake is easy to make, the harder part is the icing, mixing the different colors and doing it quickly before they dry up. I exhausted my trusty Philip blender after this round...need to get another one already... :"(
