(2007/03) March 2007 MTBs

U know i mentioned that rae kept making the gagging sound these few days.. i think its because of the the raw fruits that i have been giving her. I fed her a lot of apples and papayas and she threw up twice yesterday. I think her tummy cannot handle too much of the acid from raw fruits. *sigh* i better dun feed her so much raw fruits.
 


star
it softens in the mouth.. need to chew...
go easy on fruit. though rae is more probable to get constipation, still can't feed too much leh.. moderation...
 
Pax,
wanted to tell u, if Jo can crawl well and even 'walk' a little, then u might want to consider bringing her for Gymboree Level 3.

Okie all.. i m going to sleep.. sian.. just saw my work email.. some problems to face tomorrow.. sian sian sian!
 
nite autum.

pax: ya i think Jo more suitable for Level 3 since she cruising liao.
she keep opening her mouth for more lah.. so i tot she can handle.. but turn out otherwise. Ya now i only give her max 1.5 bb cubes. If not, she sure will throw up one.
 
star, autum
i think so too, will try level 3.. she's cruising so fast now that we r damn scared of her.. bcos she can miss her footing and fall.. then hor, she has been practising standing, letting go, squatting and sitting.. then her squatting pose a bit like England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson.. i c liao, also wan to laff... i'm waiting for her to squat to stand... that would be the final stage for walkg liao.. i think b4 1yo she sure walk...
 
star
yes.. much faster..
M only started walking at 13mths, picked up while we were in Perth... but he was cruising for a long time.. why i say Jo will start walking soon, bcos this gal vv daring.. will try anything one... already starting to open our cupboard doors and drawers! giak fingers also still open..
 
gg to wash btl and zzzz...

yippeee.. Man U beat Liverpool and Arsenal is leading Chelsea..

Nite nite mommmies..
sweet dreams babies...

happy.gif


pax,
jo really fast in everything! saw your muffin recipe. oh oh..... does that mean i should start baking them and buying those trays? i love the chocs and spices one!
happy.gif
 
SQ, u are right. during her last feed, she actually pointed at the sky again and said BIRD.. with her eyes closed. wah! can be fascinated by birds for so many days.
When she wakes up, she really excited then kacau me. then happily hee hee haa haa.. when she saw my cousins then she will scream cause they like to play with her.
overstimulated la, but what to do? let her be lor.

Pax, astro.
still half a minibowl even 3.5 hours after feed. i think she is bored during meal time. maybe i should cut some milk feed? or my porridge is not tasty at all. maybe she likes 3 dishes with 1 soup that type. i can die. haha!
but she loves egg yolk. i mix some with my bm today.

7.45-8am 120-140ml
8.30-9am breakfast (no milk)
9.30-10.30 nap
11-30-12noon lunch *1/2 minibowl*
1-3pm nap
3-3.30pm 160ml-180ml
6-6.30pm dinner *1/2 minobowl*
8-30pm 180ml
9pm zzzzzzz
she was tired at 8pm. but refused to sleep.. cause many ppl playing with her.
 
QQ,
tian still drinks more milk than YE lah.
why you say she never drink?
oh, is it now become never eat??

when you coming back to sgp? i find that it's good to put them in familiar and "boring" environment when trying to set a routine for them. else too distracted liao lah
 
hope and jj,
so nice! you can eat in NUS canteen. the food cheaper and nicer than food courts right? at least that's what it used to be when i was a student there
happy.gif
 
Pink,
I show hb the Fisher price learning table but he said dun buy cos Elisha will only play for awhile and it too ex liao ;(
 
good morning mummies! today i m off! hehe so happy..got time to do my own things ..pack up abit...later goin gym! & some xmas shpg!

bb march
wah! ah bien went competition? congrats!

QQ
u are back arrh?

hi SQ
how are u & ur darling?

pax
i kpo..recently got itch to buy myself a nice bag le..but how come i cant enter the site of your friend? aiyo i dozz off at mid of the 2nd half keke but nvm i saw the winning goal :p
 
SQ, surprisingly, now tian drinks milk leh. she likes milk than porridge like dat. i am not sure cause most of the time she is tired liao then she drinks. after that hyper again. maybe i cut from 5 milk feeds to 3 feeds, then she drinks slightly more in quantity. i dun know whether she is getting enough cause she wakes up a few times in the night. i suspect its overstimulated. but hor, can be hungry too.. diff to tell la.
i no choice have to adjust the schedule here cause if i pass back to nanny now, she will go back to 5 feeds very quickly. if i make this a standard liao, tested for few weeks then ok, then i will give nanny my schedule and ask her to follow. being a mama is very difficult.

my auntie came and asked me why children (2-3 years old) cannot eat h alf boil egg. anyone knows? cause they have phlegms after eating half boil eggs.;. slowly i will become consultant. cause i told my mum egg white cannot give, my mum kept telling ppl i know alot. any problem can come ask me. haha!
 
blur. me still in kampong. \
i tried to upload photo but this pc dun recognise my camera usb leh. sigh!!
wanted to show u all some intersting photos.
 
QQ
wat i know abt half boiled egg is cos its not throughly cooked so bb eat liao might get tummy upset la..duno the SCIENTIFIC reasons la...

Chloe went to her 9 mth check up last wk, the nurse told my hubby can give YOLK to bb to test for allegic reactions..but the truth is my auntie oredi gave chloe 1 mth back or so :p
for egg white hv to wait 1 yo....
 
Star, Michelle: Thanks for the update on lonely firefly.. I saw them at Wheellock place, not sure which one I want to go to now..

Autum: What time were you at gymbo? I was there for the plagym. I left at abt 2pm.. Anna was quite cranky yesterday..

Bolster at Gymbo: This is like a big walker and it doesn't move too fast..
happy.gif
 
blur, i also dunno. then i told my auntie to give cooked egg, dun give raw until they are very big then safe.
come back later.
 
belle,
you have v good discipline.
nowadays when i'm on leave, i just feel like zzz or shopping or spa or pampering myself! never think of gym leh. i'm so guilty

QQ,
thought it's cos of germs? half boiled egg got bacteria, no? phlegm? your mum obviously thinks v highly of u

no pic for now never mind, post when you are back lah.

when you coming back ah?
 
SQ
eh...u are wrong i m thinking of a good massage le..just that i never plan properly so duno which spa to call so last min lor.. i also feel like go pedi but then think again aiyo i betta go shpg first cos no more time! n yday went suntec after my gf's wedding aiyo..cannot walk at all so packed i so sian..hubby persipiring away cos macham no aircon le.

yaya today must cheong gym today got my fav instructor..if i work i high chance miss his class cos timing abit early lor.
 
QQ: I brought Anna to the park yesterday. There were no birds around..
sad.gif
And the sky turned from sunny to cloudy and started to drizzle and then poured all within 10mins! We had to run for shelter..
sad.gif
But it was quite fun and anna just sat in her pram as I ran.. Think she thot it was fun..

I think her waking up at nite is cos she's teething.. We applied Dentinox twice yesterday and she didn't wake up crying in the nite liao..
 
Chloe only keen to munch on her books
sad.gif
I didnt buy at all..use pre-loved books in case she go happy tearing..

she is so notti, put her fingers in her mouth i said a stern NO. she tot i m playing with her, tried again i said NO. she was smiling n trying her luck put in her mouth again as if everytime i said NO she will stick her fingers in her mouth... *sHAKE HEAD*
 
SQ: Anna started out not liking her books either. Remember I shared she didn't like any of her board books and cloth books I bot from the BPs here? But lately, she's able to pay attention to the stories, even though I re-tell the same story using the same books.

I think got to give YE some time.. Don't give up..
 
baby girl,
which park did you go to?

belle,
the crowd's gonna get worse now that xmas is just round the corner
happy.gif


good lah, you still get to exercise mah. high chance can lose even more weight liao
happy.gif
 
baby girl,
ok. thks for the tips.
was thinking of going borders again.
then my hubby said she hasn't even finished browsing through the 10 books i bought, don't buy liao wor.

there's one book she really likes though, it's called Baby ABC. can touch and feel, she likes the bear's fur
happy.gif


mayb i should just buy my parenting books. lazy to go down if it's just for me la
 
QQ.

cant wait for u guys to come back then we can have play grp session at ut plc ! wahahaha

ok, got to prepare go out liao, today got mj session with apr mummies
 
BabyGirl,
I was at Gymbo (Vivo) before 2pm cos the class starts at 2pm! haha.. so perhaps we 'saw' each other but we don't recognise each other bah.. hmm, but i can't remember who i saw cos i wasn't paying attention. Yvonne came by at about 230pm so I spoke to her for a while!

U were asking abt the Busy Spider book by Eric Carle right.. i saw it in Borders in PP.
 
SQ: Kent Ridge.. They'll like to have touch and feel books now. Can aim for those..

I kept some of the books I bot instead of bringing all of them out at one go. Cos like all things, they get tired of the same stuff after a while. Oo it's good bring out the new things slowly.. Same with her toys..
 
Autum: Maybe we missed each other.. I only want to buy board books leh. I say busy spider in other version at PP, but haven't come across the boardbooks. But Michelle said she gave up on her reservation, so maybe it's available now..
happy.gif
 
any mummies here keen on birthday direct spree arrh? i m thinking of wat to do for my girl's bday liao...keke.

Huajing
u organising one?
 
Baby Girl,
Kent Ridge? that's near my house (quite lah)

next time you come up with anna and let the two gals play. haha

i bought all board books wor. enuf liao. ok ok, i'll stop for a while
 
If i were to post this before 10am.. this post would certainly be in caps.. and puntuctued with many exclamation marks.. but now.. no.. this post will be a lot milder and slightly refective in tone...

why the change??

well.. good news.. at 9am, on 17 dec 2007.. in front of me, and me alone.. Teng pulled himself up to stand in the cot..
happy.gif


i went bonkers.. and thought i was hallucinating.. well. try again! i said.. put him seated down faceing the higher cot bar.. and he did it again.. with such amazing fluidity.. as thought he has been doing that for months..

and i started crying.. tears of joy.. and with massive relief.. and i was laughing and crying.. at the same time
happy.gif
.. i did it again and agiant. sat him down. and teng did it again and again... I went speechless.. and just kept crying.. hugging him and crying..

there was this worried look on his face.. "what's wrong mama?? i pulled to stand didn't I? why are u still crying???"

Yes u did.. my dear boy. yes u did..
happy.gif


i controlled myself.. and put him to bed.. and at 10am.. my mum came.. and here's when things turned a little touchy.

wanted to suprise her.. so pretended to look gloomy (my usual expression). she asked why?., I murmured "nothing"..but believe me. i was almost bursting out in sheer joy and excitement.. wanting to share my joy with her...

finally teng woke up.. i cannot hold on any longer.. carried him up. think he was still blurred.. haven't woken up fully. and found himself dumped siting in the cot.. expected to show his newly aqquired stunt to MaoMAo..

and no he didn't. he saw MaoMao.. and screamed hysterically.. wanted to be carried...

and i was stumped.. and Mao mao was too. she never heard teng screamed this way before.. refused to admit defeat.. i placed the screaming boy bacn into the cot. .and he screamed again..

Mao mao immediately carried him up. and i was fe dup.. with the boy.. screamed at him.. immediately there was tension in the air.. and Mao mao.. certainly felt upset.. she sat alone.. in the living hall.. leaving screaming teng stuck in his pram.. watching me cook.. he cooled down after a while.. and played with his stroller toys..

done with my prepartions.. carried teng.. asked my mum come into my room.. she was very sad looking..

placed a screaming teng into the cot.. and instructed my mum not to go away.. she wanted to leave.. coz she can't bear see teng cry..

and then. teng pulled himself to stand.. she was stunned.. i think she held back her tears.. as teng cruised around the cot..

i told my mum. "teng can do it now..dun worry. he is not screaming because he is not well.. he is being naughty.. and is bullying u.. i will be with u.. dun let him bully u.. bear with his crying.. and soon he knows.. that he can't depend on u.. and he will perform for u also.." i smiled at my mum.. i think she understood what i meant.. she carried him downstairs for a walk.. i let her.. i 'nagged' at her.. "un understand? jus tlet him cry.. and we will see mor eof this coming...u understand?? u understand??"... she said.. ya lah ya lah.. aiyoh.. i smiled.. she smiled..

now.. teng crusing.. i think mum is going to sit him down. and yes he will scream.. but he will pull up himself.. mum is happier.. and certainly. me too..

but as i looked at teng cruise in his cot.. and pulling up with such confidence and fluidtiy.. i hope.. that my mum starts to believe in me.. and in herself.. and teach teng.. to be truly independent..

"dear Lord.. u will let this come true again.. right?..just like u let teng pull to stand.. in front of me, just me, today....."

happy.gif
 
Astro: Congrats!!! On 2 counts! Finally solved the over-dependency problem and Teng naturally continues with his development as he should have..
happy.gif
