janet/Cd
Javen also sits in his highchair when having meal. when we having our meal, he also sits in his highcahir to join us and he play with his toy while we eat. when at my mom place where theres no high chair, he will sit on a stool or floor to eat. have to make it a habit...else we will end up chasing them ard the hse feeding them esp when they start walking.

CD
bought Javen to the slide pool at jurong east too. Though he too young to play, we roam ard and even let him swim in the lazy pool. quite fun le. if the swimming pool at SK opens, i will surely bring him there to play.

Springdance
we brought Javen to swim when he's ard 5 months. wanna expose him so that next time he wont have phobia and also cos he likes to play with water.

yeah. all of sudden looks big now. think baby having growth spurt. i still bring javen out for outing and swimming. JUst wear my maternity swim wear n go down together with him. going to bring him to zoo soon too.

Jeanyard
how r u? coping well? Dun worry abt cookie. some kids talk at a later stage. cookie will catch up fast soon.

 

[jeanyard]

nellu,
josh can read? you mean as in from books?

cheezel,
me doing well but think milk supply is established and not likely to increase anymore. Have already stock up 75bags. 2nd pregnancy is very tiring esp when your 1st one is running around. you must take good care of yourself and drink some tonic soup whenever possible.

 

[zhuzhu]

jeanyard
Markus oso cannot talk yet..he probably go eeee or "eat??" and boooo or ball??

 

[bugs]

Jeanyard
how's ur confinement? ur gal's nick is doughnut huh. both ur kids nick are edible ha ha ha.

 

[bugs]

Jeanyard
dun worry lah kids are very clever they pcik up very fast.
yesterday i showed ky a pic book, he can tell me it's a ball and flower when i asked him!

 

[nellu]

jeanyard,
i assume he can read some word cos he respond to them.. dunno leh...or maybe i was just guessing??

 

[cheezel]

jeanyard
yeah. i agree. its rather tiring now with a big tummy and going ard with the 1st one running here and there.

u take tonic? this preg i didnt take much tonic. the most i drink black chic soup which my mom will make for me weekly. else i just drink chic essence.

i cant wait for due date. didnt know how i will cope with #2 since going to care for both of them at night. but prob just take things at a time.

cookie sleeping with u at night?

 

[fattynemo]

jeanyard, nellu
I guess for boys it is rather slow for them to pick things like speech, growing of teeth n walking etc..etc.. Got a gf's son whose coming 13mths and no sign of walking and teething yet. So don wori, all kids are genius. Jeanyard, *yumyum* doughnut is one of my favourite!! Muz take gd care during confinement ya.

smalldreams
JBCG is free, juz hv to pay for the carpark cos its link wif the NUS campus. http://www.nparks.gov.sg/blogs/young_gardeners/index.php/2007/11/08/jacob-ballas-childrens-garden-through-the-eyes-of-a-3-year-old/
Ter's a waterplay for kids.

RE: Talking toddlers
I believe in talking and reading to them alot. bbK can point to parts of the body whenever being asked. Can say 'book', 'ball', 'sit', 'up', 'pls'. In progressing: can say 'pigu'(buttocks in mandarin) & 'paopao' (bubbles in mandarin). Any bb gals can talk liao out ter?

cheezel

[wonder_baby]

yup my girl can say a few words like 'eye, mouth, mama, daddy, baby, duck, bird, book, ABC, etc' and can point to things but she can't walk yet

 

[cool_daughter]

cheezel
jboy tried e slides at WWW .. but of coz wif daddy sitting behind him. He likes it

Talking
jboy dun tok. In fact, he greets everybody 'ah' But he does says papapapa and mamama but not looking at us. So I do not tink he associate these words to Daddy & mummy.

Kris
Long time no 'see' .. I thot the pool opens le actually. any idea when is it opening?

[cheongyw]

Mum@Work,

Thanks for the info. I have enough barcodes already. Smalldreams just gave me some recently

!

Anyway, this mummy under WTS is selling at a ridiculous pricing ;p

 

[smalldreams]

Hello! Can I join u gals & babies at Jacob Ballas this Sunday too? But hmmm, never met any of you before..how would I recognise you? hehe!

Pisces Gal
I'm not collecting the barcodes but I agree the pricing that person is selling is rather ridiculous. In fact, I'm generally fed up with putting up things for sale in WTS. So many unreasonable buyers! Eg, offer $20 for my skiphop diaper bag, which retailed at $100+! Even when stuff were already sold cheaply, they'd still bargain! So embarrasing how cheapskate how some pple are. Urgh.

 

[springdance]

Cheezel
You sure is a doting mummy....still will try as much as possible bring Javen out for activities. But do remember to get enough rest also okie gal.

Smalldreams
Mum@Work provided the link for JCB...you interested to bring Adam to meet up with the kiddos on 17 Aug?

pisces gal

will see how things go that day

 

[springdance]

<font color="0000ff">Re: JCB Gathering on 17 Aug</font>
We can meet right outside the entrance of JCB at 3.30pm. Think more or less can recognise each other since we got similar age babies. keke...

One note to highlight, please DO NOT enter from the Botanic Garden entrance at Tanglin (Napier Rd) or Nassim Rd. It will take more than 1 hour for you to walk to JCB! Please tell the driver to go to the gate which is located at Bt Timah Road.

By the way, just wondering, would you ladies like to have before/after the playing:
1. A picnic at Eco lake nearby (but have to bring your picnic food &amp; mat)?
2. Just keep it simple &amp; convenient and we have some snacks/ice-cream (But more over-priced than what you can get outside) at the kidz cafe (small open area) juz outside the garden. Got small kiddy chairs &amp; tables there (no need picnic mat)?

Can indicated your preference (option 1 or 2 or neither!) against your name in the list?

 

[jeanyard]

springdance,
wish I can join you at JCB but still on a tight "expressing" schedule, so cannot really stay outside for more than 2 hrs. hope next time can bring Cookie and Doughnut there at the same time.

Re: talking
Cookie can only say baba and nothing else but he climbs like a monkey, very scared to bring him out.

Re: playgroup
any mummies registering for playgroup yet? I heard that sometimes the waiting list is as long as 6 months?
sigh, don't know where to put Cookie since he is staying at the East and West at alternating weeks!!

sgn,
me very sian this time round. getting restless staying at home. looking forward to more outings later when I start weaning.

 

[preciousjovian]

hi mummies,

my girl nw 14months, still don't dare to walk by herself.... need us to hold her hand to walk with her. any mummies encounter this. cos i saw so kid can walk by 12months but mine so slow..... haiz...

 

[nellu]

Hi Esther,
my boy is 14mths. also cannot walk. still pushing chairs to get around or will ask us to hold him to walk. I think you should not get too anxious about it.

Hmm...Would U like picnics again since you've been to one?

 

[nellu]

sanrio,
of course agree that sunday should be our rest day. Just that cos hubby travels so often, sometimes go at one stretch that covers 2 weekends at one shot, so i've become so used to handling everything alone.
But of course when he is around, i won't let him off lor...kekeke...i always tell him that since he's away so much he should take the time to spend it nicely with Josh...hahaha put him on guilt trip...

 

[cool_daughter]

springD
i hv been to one?

 

[springdance]

CD
Errrmmm..I tot you went to one at Pasir Ris Park or ECP? Or I "Sala" got mixed up?

 

[jeanyard]

Here's presenting: Doughnut aka Cookie's lil' sista

 

[jeanyard]

Springdance,
special request by you, I put up the photo. very difficult to snap a good view of the newborn cos she's always sleeping. she can sleep 5 hrs at night.
Cookie likes to kiss her very gently, and he'll break out in a panic when she cries and no one attends to her.
