Star: The words are not meant for our babies at this age. It's for the story-teller. Encourage the child to enjoy the colourful pics as you tell the story..
Actually don't get all board books also. The hardcover/paperback will have bigger pics. Just need to make sure the baby doesn't tear up the pages..

Just now my maid is quite funny. She asked me if she can read the books before going to bed. Of course I said ok.. She and I agree that in order to tell the story to Anna, we need to read through the story ourselves first.. And she enjoyed EC books too..

Baby Girl: i think the one i got, size is too small liao, would be great if its bigger. I feel that babies at this age needs to look at bigger books.
I read to her with the book facing her, i will point to the words as i read along cos i want her to start recognising the words on the pages so that in time, she will learn to read it herself. So the words are definitely too small for her now.

star: that period of 30min - 45 mins is the light sleep- deep cycle that all bbs go through.. normally bbs go into deep sleep first. then once deep sleep is over. they transit into the light sleep (abt 30 -45mins).. and if they can soothe themselves back to sleep. they wun wake and cry.. but will figet untillthe ligt sleep part is over and then they will go back to their deep sleep part.. for rae. coz she has sleeping assoication problem.. therefore..she will need suckling/carrying to go back into the deep sleep when she comes into the light sleep paet.. hence she wakes up and cry.. every 30 -45 mins. coz she needs the same assistance to help put her back to sleep.. just like the way when she FIRST fell asleep
after 3 hours of so from.. bbs go thorough a period of deep sleep.. say if on 7 -7 cycle.. they will be in deep sleep.. then light sleep (every two hourly).. and are very prone to waking beterrn 4 - 5am.. so if they have sleeping assoications. these are the timings they will wake up screaming to get the assistance to go back to sleep..normally.. its 1 am, 3 pm, 5am.. then finally awake at 7am.. the more jialat ones.. like teng.. last time every 45 mins to 1 hourly till .. 5.. can die.. haiz..
we adublts also have this cycle. but we dun cry. and can put ourselve sback to sleep

Star: There are many school how to teach babies to read. The school I subscribe to uses flashcards. And the reason is cos it says young babies have photographic memory and teaching them from a book is too slow for them. It'll make them loose their interests.. (Aiyah.. But this is all about right brain training.. Never mind me blabbling here..)
I find it's very useful for us to tell Anna stories when she's standing in her cot. She enjoys standing there and we can tell the story, show her the pic, and do some actions like we're acting out the story..
I'm really going off to zzz.. Nites

astro: forgot to update u...i broke Rae's bad sleeping habit of needing me to carry her to sleep. She now fall asleep on her own on the bed and not on my arms. Now eveb when she wakes up , most of the time, she dun me to carry her too.. but still need some light patting lah. However most of the time, she falls back to sleep on her own after fussing a while. I did not CIO her yet leh.. think i would call mine the no cry sleep solution..hehe
astro: what loader?
Baby Girl: i think cos Rae is very interested in the book, thus i am able to open the book and read it with her looking at it. She loves to flip the book (thinks she enjoying playing with it lah..hehe). And sumtimes, she will guai guai sit and let me read to her... and then, i will put the book on her legs and guide her hands to point at the illustrations in the book. Which is why i find my THC too small.

Astro: yes yes, considered extremely light CIO cos it does not happen for longer than 5 mins. I dun go to her immediately when she fusses.. i wait at elast 5 mins.. she is usually able to fall back to sleep on her own. But she needs me to stay with her while she trys and fall asleep on her own. I am fine with this.. first few times, she took almost an hr to fall asleep. now quite fast, KO within 10mins.
Astro: but for her day nap, she still need to be carried, i tried to let her fall asleep on her own, fail leh, i dunno isit cos there are too much noise distraction (from the car park below) or my room is too bright, i am contemplating buying some night curtains to replaced my day ones so i can keep the room dark for her day naps. (cos i got a copy of GF's CLB book, now reading it lah)
star: ya.. good.. acutally u carried out the CIO liao.. u realise ?
but for u.. good.. coz Rae doesn't scream her head off like the way teng did.. great !. slowly. think soon rae can go back to sleep liao..
ehh.. actually hor. the sleep guide as more info than the CLB lah..
speaking of that ah.. when can i pass ut the sleep guide? (think these days i dun find it on the self leh.. it was my FIRST gina ford book.... then i hooked on gf liao.. then went and buy the routines one.. then so on.. )..

QQ

must kan de kai.
veryberry

pink: hmm if it is only this gimmick.. then it is ok. coz u dun feel that the photos are that great also right?..
.. but like i say.. if only towards this gimmick is ok.. coz he can't be saying celebratinv leia's bdays in future are a waste of time.. then use this excuse...coz his clients rushing him.. it is a never ending task right? clients rushing.. in this case.. he also must 'kan kai' slightly.. right?
star: ya.. that is for the initial periods.. when u set the bbs on rountines.. but i read elsewhere. that it is also good for bb's DAY naps to be 'bright'..coz that helps them to settle them in the day sleep and night sleep difference..
'bbs wun sleep too deeeply in the birght room in the days.. allowing for deeper and more restful sleep i nthe night. when it is dark..'..thikn they will also have growth horomone secreted by the brain in the ngiht also when deep sleep. that's why must rest well at night..
think for rae.. hmmm. could be too bright. but i think more of the sleep association.. i think of this.. coz teng also sleep with the curtains open in the day. now...so very very bright...but curtains drawn up at night.. but when he was first on rountine.. yes. very very dark for all naps. to get him to be used to it

pink: scatching ears.. could be ear was builtup..
. teng scratches his ears.. like puppy like that. then got ear drop from Dr ong to loosen his ear wax.. now better liao..
could be ear infection also. but think leia is well.. so not likely..
but an ex pd also say some bbs like to scatch ears befoer sleeping one..

astro: for day naps now, i have to carry her (no need to pat) and when she starts to drifts to sleep, i can put her down and she will sleep on her own. (beginning, she will wake up like after 30mins and i have to quickly carry her so that she falls back to sleep again, if not she won;t sleep after she open her eyes wide wide, then it was 40mins or 50mins), today she was very good, was sleeping for 1.5hrs before she woke up. I am hoping she can stay alseep for 2 hrs!
Astro: i dun have flour in my eyes, if not i can make my own pancakes.. i think my pancakes can rival mac's ..hahaha.. see so yaya. I have nto had pancakes in ages, was trying to look for the recipe for the bouquet garnis for u lor but cannot find yet and ended up reading my pancake recipe. 4am??? er.. ok.. then forget it lah.
Hey what u feed teng at mac? he can eat the hot cakes there liao ah?

your boy really has very nice eyes and quite tall, will attract a lot of mei mei next time!Need to take queue number...stress!

our studio photo also didn't turn out to be the quality we had expected. I find the photos I took at home with my digital camera, much better than the ones we took at the studio! Your mum looks so young! Somehow you look abit like my cousin. I like your hair, and Leia dress really nice. Where do you shop for her clothes? BTW, Leia looks like you when you were a little girl.
BBgirl, We are planning to look for a flat in Jan and settle my hb's PR application. In May we'll come back for good. Anna buai song look is so amusing, she's really got a unique character;-) My HB always want to take photo of Kira on a sheep's fur...heehee!
Mummies, Michelle,
ya, CNY gathering sounds good to me;-) End of Jan is fine with me, any suggestion where?
Mash
Your boy really looks like you You looked good esp in that black dress.

Tien is so alert. I like the playpen. I tried putting Kira in a box before and she ended up tearing the card board into bits and pieces and wanting to eat them, so we removed it! I find Kampong life not so bad at all. I read that kids have higher immune system in such areas such as villages or farms compared to sterile homes in the cities. Tien can point and say bird, so smart! I think she's exposed to many ppl which is good for her development. I have to let Kira see more ppl. I'm sometimes too protective, afraid of this and that...so cham!
Starfruit
very observant! I do give her meat but not every day cos I was told by our nurse that too much protein can be a burden to the liver. twice a week in small amount is sufficient. That's why egg white and fresh milk isn't recommended too within the first year. sometimes, I give her chicken, beef or salmon in pasta or just boil the meat with vege and give her the broth diluted to drink in her cup. The main thing is to have enough iron which is present in potato, green vege and carrot. And as far as possible, I always add fresh grated apple to the food for vit C to allow the body to absorb the iron much easier from the vege.

after your sleep analogy, I finally understand why Kira used to wake up at the same time almost every day between 8 and 11. Now she's sleeping better and waking maybe once or twice in the night. Yesterday, she woke up at 4am, instead of feeding her, I gave her some warm water from her cup. She stood in bed, drank it and fell back to sleep with some music from her music hippo.
BTW, Kira also tiptoe to reach things and so on, not autism lah! Your handsome is fine
Angel
angmoh friend, meaning Kira? She's only half angmoh leh! I'm sure she wouldn't mind knowing some cute boys
