HI MUMMIES!!!!
Belated Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
I've been sooooo busy, I really haven't been online since we came back from Malacca, and that was before Christmas!
So now, I'm trying to catch up with all the posts...
Anyway, just an update...
Ben has been practising standing up and walking a few steps for the past 5 days or so. He's more confident walking across his bed or playpen, but not so daring on the hard floor.
He seems to be able to do a few sign language signs, although I think only I would understand them because they're not very accurate. He has been signing 'all done', 'please' and 'milk' lately. He won't do them for other people, only for me.
I can't wait to intro him to table food. Getting fed up with cooking porridge.
He's really willful and naughty, so he's been receiving spankings.
For myself, I've just been so busy, and my hb was on leave all the way til yesterday, so he was on the computer most of the time. Otherwise, we were out a lot, so no time to come in. And this strong wind is bringing in a lot of dirt and dust, so my floor seems constantly dirty.
All right. Enough for now. I'll scan through the posts slowly.
Y'all have a nice day!

Hello again! Have scanned all the postings since I went MIA
.
Hi there,
Just scanned posts and saw the gathering photos. Wah all those babies are so plump and round-faced! I think my Ben is skinny in comparison. I'll upload some photos soon and post them.
Catz,
Your Beth looks very ladylike leh. Why do you say she's 'chor lor'?
Ben is also rather orange. Too much carrot, pumpkin and papaya. I'm cutting down on those orange things, maybe give only every 2-3 days. My MIL made noise about his being orange.
Beth sick again? Oh dear. Weather has not been too good lately. Chilly wind. Do take care.
stella,
Cherish is choosy with people? I think it's normal for this age. Ben so far has been really easy. He lets just about anyone carry him, even strangers. But of course, if we appear to want him back, he'll readily come to me or my hb. Otherwise, he'll happily study the stranger's face.
smurfy,
You bought a block of butter specially for QY??? Is it special butter? Uhhhh, hehehehe, sorry, for me, butter is just a side ingredient - spread on bread, bake a cake, make a crumble, mash potatoes, creamed soup etc. No idea what else to do with butter leh. Ben takes a little table butter on his bread.
QY is good, hor? Can read books. My Ben just devours them. Hahahahaha.

rachel, i am thinking of sending A for kindermusik as my colleague said it worked well for her gal.
For the playgroup thing, I dun think need to have the same babies all the time. But of cos if same group better so that they can get to know each other?? The impt thing is for them to socialise and learn to share
Esp since many of the babies here are the only kiddo in the house or even the extended family. So, want to increase opportunity for them to play with kids at the same age. BUT ground rule is mummy must refrain from comparing the development of other babies (according to GF)
I am proposing twice a month (alternate sat).
Play group
1) Cherryale - A
2) Rachel - Josh
3) Garfield - ZZ
4) Stella - Cherish
5) Smurfy - QY (tentative)
Shall we start after CNY? I can host at my place first then we take turns? Garfield, your house is the best!! so much space for the kiddos to play
Rachel, BUT you will be in confinement
Stella, there are so many bois in feb thread, of cos we welcome your little Cherish princess

Hi Mummies!
Busy, busy, busy again... after school term started... Worse cos I am now in a new school!!! Think need some time to adjust...
Happy New Year to all of you!
Yup, am interested in the playgroup arrangement... you are so right, cherryale, our babies need to socialise and learn to share. My Julian is the one and only baby in both our families so he is always with adults
not healthy for him
count me in yah?

Hey,

pumpkinni,
ryan has been spitting out his food for the past 1 week also. usually towards the end of his meal. I will usually scold him and flick his lips with my fingers whenever he does that...
he's getting quite naughty also like putting legs on his high chair table, etc...

hahaha sounds like a tug of war with the little touch system for me.. eh eh, QY oso like that lor? but i see no point insisting on finishing a page while he just interested in flipping.. just play along with him..
the moment ZZ flips a page.. point to a object and say loudly what it is, what it does.. i think at their age.. they cannot sit patiently to listen..
pVL
it's not special butter, coz all these while butter never appears in my kitchen before.. and i onli knew butter for baking cakes
it's maragine n bread for breakfast...
it's the milky issue again
Help! Help! milk is dying off now... how much milk r ur kids drinking nowadays? who has introduced fresh milk and if so, which brand? my silly hb is saying giving those frozen EBM... but QY got fussy taste buds, so i really doubt he will wants that... or that HAy's dairy fresh goat milk -_-'... EeeskKKkKKs...
Olive Oil
Anyone attempts stir-frying or doing up ur kids foods with olive oil?
Birthday Party
kekeke how's the progress now? I am thinking of 26 n 27th of Jan - near his cheena birthday, as his angmo birthday is near the CNY (likely stuck or on the way back frm malaysia)

Happy new year to all!
I'm interested with the Playgroup idea but got to depends on location and if my Hub is free to drive us around.
Activities: Suggest we can plan out something for the kids to do at each time they meet. e.g. Story sharing/ telling, Music appreciation, toy sharing, swimming, picnic, festive gathering..
Venue: Need not be at someone's residence, cos it could be at Botanic Gardens for a picnic for example. (hehe cos dun think my place is large enough for more then 4 kids)
Date/ Time: I do agree after CNY easier to arrange cos b4 that everyone would be busy..
Sigh, BJG called me that there is vaccancy for trial class for Crawlers this sat but my hub is flying on sun and he says we need to run the errans on sat.. less likely possible that we can go for the trail.. sigh.. got to give it a miss again ..

sunsweet.

How is yr reno?
The contractors hav done all the hacking works..now they are laying the tiles for toilets n balcony..we shopped for toilet WC, sink etc at Genova Industries ytd..good buys there.
Playgroup- Sorry unfortunately, Have to count us out for now..cos we attend service on Saturdays.
But I think its a good idea for our babies to meet up more often.
Huskie..I'm bringing Yael for Bugs on Sat..subsequently we may join Birds on Monday or Thur.

gak,
Actually my yogurt starting setting by itself when in the fridge... not so watery anymore
So my yogurt maker is a GOOD BUY!
Garlic spread is a good idea!
PVL,
Wow, congrats on Ben's motor development!
My baby is a "hum bao" crybaby... don't wanna let go of my hands leh. Even if I let go of 1 hand, she'd stop walking and then just drop onto the floor and cry. I got so fed up today that I stopped walking her... just let her crawl by herself!
How's your Malacca trip?

so chloe is not the only one spitting out her food. hope this is just a passing phase...
chocbabe, talking about high chairs and fidgety babies, nowadays we will need to strap chloe down to the chair. if not she will try to climb out of it. once when we were out and the high chair provided by the resto has no 'safety belt', my hubby used his own belt to tie her down. worked just as well
gak - garlic spread!! so adventurous! i can imagine THE LOOK chloe will give me if i feed her that...wahahahaa!!! ;p

PVL, nice to finally see you here.. year-end/New Year period is always crazy huh? Ben is such a good little boy.. I'm so impressed! Is he going to take table food at his first birthday? Beth just sprouted her first pearly so table food is still a no no for her now (except for grains of white rice)
gak, wow garlic is kinda strong.. surprisingly, even Timo finds it strong and he's usually not a fussy eater
Let me know if baby likes i! heee....
pumpkinni, wow, must learn how to strap baby down with adult belt lei.. my daughter is another crazy baby who loves to climb out of high chairs and leap off!
sorry I've been so busy.. today was Timo's 3rd day at school plus birthday party.. then tonight having pizza party with the family
Shaaaack...next up, hv to plan Princess Bethany's bash..

Hi everyone, i was just browsing thru the site and saw that some of you mummies are making yogurt for bbs. I am from the march thread and we have a few scientist there which has been experimenting with our homemade yogurt for a while. To make yogurt more firm, let it set longer than 12 hrs. (best is between 15 to 18hr in room temp). You might wanna try and add more started culture (like another 30% more than the recommended amount)- Most of us use Paul's or Famer's Union Natural yogurt as starter, and then proceed to use our own yogurt as the starter culture. But one thing to note, the longer u leave your yougurt to set in room temp, the more tart it will become. I hope this info is helpful.
garfield,
Bugs and Birds are just names given to the classes at TLG for 4mos-10mos babies and 10-19mos babies respectively
Sigh, I also wonder when my kiasi baby will have the courage to take her own first steps!
Catz,
I feed Soph garlic in her porridge all the time. Once cooked with porridge, no taste at all. Garlic has good antiviral and anti bacterial peroperties... although in the face of someone coughing into my baby, my baby still "fell" after trying to fight the virus for 1 week!
Happy Birthday to Timo!!!
starfruit,
Thanks for yogurt tips
My yogurt actually could set well... I guess it's probably just me being too kan cheong, flicking out the container to check before the time is up

smurfy,
I try to crawl with Soph, but my knees hurt leh! Don't yours hurt?
Hee, I believe being physically mobile at an earlier age means they will have good psychomotor skills when they grow old... cos my mum said I only walk at the age of 2... look at me, I'm quite narrowly built, but clumsy like Pooh Bear... see something in front of me can still walk and knock right into it!
Haha... but this is just my nonsensical theory lah... of course I enjoy this time when Sophie helps me mop floor with her pants!

huskiebabs: ya really gotta resist checking the yogurt. best to just leave it and dun touch it till at least 12 to 13hrs before checking.
We can't bear to pay so much for horizon's organic yogurt for baby ($10plus for 4 min tubs) so decide to make our own..much cheaper and its very tasty too. I think we should try and use some of the proper yogurt starter culture that some of you mummies have mentioned.. its really interesting to see if it sets better.
starfruit,
Yeah lor, after a few failed attempts, I get very kan cheong to check my yoghurt when I wake up in the morning.
It was only 8 hrs when I checked that it was watery... then by 12hrs, it's set quite nicely.
I'm currently using Yogi-House, but am thinking of switching to Yogourmet next round, cos I read that they have this CBA Probiotics one, but can only use in a Yogourmet yogurt maker due to the requirements of a certain pattern in the increase in temperature... but I may still order and try.
I'm also trying to wean my girl soon... probaly after she turns 1. Tried Isomil on her today - she puked it out.

ehh but if they r master in crawling, once they get over the phase of crawling, they will learn walking real fast right? and i think more psychomotor skills is required for crawling leh, u need to coordinate the left hand / right leg and the right hand / left leg..knees not painful leh? maybe i got rough knees? hahaha
GArfield
kekeke ur clapping method is what my mum does... haiz.. that's why she keeps on commenting QY is a little dog.. and got one stage he even sticks up his tongue and head high up... $%$#%#$#@$%%^$
i got to start some other kinds of milk real soon!!! how how how? he's onli 11th mth on the 11th of Jan.

stella,
Hee, it's just my silly theory lah.
My hubby is built like some stocky caveman, but his pschomotor skills much better than mine... his mum said he walked at 1 yo.
Mine is soooo bad that when I learnt tennis, my tennis coach actually asked me how come my ball sense so bad... did I ever play racket games before! Heee, FYI, I run right into the ball, so my racket hits the air!
smurfy,
You could be right about the cross pattern crawling method. But Soph has been crawling cross pattern for a long time liao... and very fast too, so we play hide and seek and catching all the time... plus handball.
But she is a crybaby lah, esp. when the daddy is around!
Eh, update me on what milk you feeding QY OK?
FYI, my sinseh says goat's milk very heaty... only if you believe in the Chinese TCM theory about heatiness!

No worries Lil J is still crawling.. as for cruising.. think she still dare not.. she would only OCASSIONALY stand without support..
Sometimes i trick her to stand without support by asking her to show me how bird fly *flap both hands at the side* while she is standing with 1 hand holding onto something.
so after flapping her arms she will fall to her butt..
keke so bad of me hor..

huskie/smurfy, I realised that A likes to crawl 'swimming' style, tummy on the floor type. He can do the proper crawl but whenever he wants to do it fast, he chooses the swimming style. How to get him to do the proper crawl more often?
huskie, i sucks at sports (as u can tell
) but i started walking quite young b4 1yo, so i dun know if the correlation is true for everyone.

so sop is a master crawler oso? kekeke yah fun to play hide n seek with them now.
sunsweet
how on earth do u teach lil j to do the flapping? so cute.....
cherryale
i dunno how to get A to do the proper crawl. but QY also onli knew the swimming style then.. and was moving real fast..then one fine day, he discovered the doggie crawl and changed when he realised that it is more comfortable than the swimming style where he got to push both hands n drag the whole tummy (initially i tot he will never do the proper crawl oso)

huskie: u BFing ur girl? why wanna wean?
Goat's milk heaty? i was told goat's milk is good to ease constipation. Maybe mix it with other milk instead of letting bb take it pure.
Stella: We were discussing in the march thread that babies that skip the crawling stage tends to confuse the "b" and "d", "B" and "E" etc in alphabets and also "9" and "6" in numbers.. do u experience that? is this true?

smurfy, i think A is really lazy cos he does use the doggie style at times but MOST times use the swimming style. But really no idea how to make him use the doggy style, guess just let it be lah.
yes, i love to play hide and seek with A too. He chuckled loudly whenever he 'finds' me.
huskie, isomil tastes really bad but once they are hooked on it, they wont want to drink other milk. remember i told u before that we can replace coconut milk in laksa or other dishes with isomil?? Surprisingly it tastes really good. You just have to thicken the isomil for the laksa.
sunsweet, i will try the mummy bird thing over the weekend
tomorrow i am bringing A to the zoo
hopes he likes it.
garfield, the zoo pics will form the last 2 pages of my fotobook (hardcover). Too lazy to do the softcover from scratch. btw, will u repeat the photos in both books? or use different photos?

huskie,
Dunno how true it is, but I was told not to feed bbs garlic because it has the ability to 'dissolve' flesh/meat. Unless the bb is taking quite a bit of meat with their food. This is what my mum says lah. But then sometimes it's just old wive's tales. My 3rd uncle used to take lots of raw garlic supposedly for health. Then he suddenly developed leukemia. (He was already around 70 by then). All my relatives said that it was because he took too much garlic and didn't eat much meat. Vegans cannot take garlic for the same reason. As a result, I didn't intro garlic to Sarah until she took table food.
Malacca was really fun. A great holiday. Weather was fine, windy and not too hot. Our hotel room was a great size and very comfy for all 4 of us. Ate too much. The children were very well behaved and 'tahan'-ed our constant going out and late returns, although we did return each afternoon for them to have at least 1 good nap. I cooked porridge for all of Ben's lunches and dinners. Brought crock pot, frozen/refrigerated food was put into the outer pot of my thermal cooker together with 2 blocks of ice. Lasted 2 days. Room had a small fridge.
sunsweet,
J sounds so cute, flapping both hands. Ben started experimenting with standing without support and walking at the same time. He would let his hands go and then take a couple of steps. He's still at this stage now. Not so fast development lah. Yael is much more advanced.
Cherryale,
Sarah also crawled like A, commando style. Then at about 1 YO, she started to crawl normally, briefly, and then started standing and walking by 14 months.

mummies,
trust me, once they can walk, you wished they were just lying there... we are all so tired trying to keep up with Ryan these days...
whenever we bring him to the malls now, he refuses to hold hands and will just want to walk by himself. Even when we carry him, he is really strong and will push us away cos he wants to get down to walk...
but i'm still tahaning not to buy the rein. didn't like the idea of strapping him. furthermore it's not very widely accepted here. My SIL told me, in UK, it's very common for mothers to use that...
