(2007/08) August 2007 MTBs


Morning mummieS! bene MIA for a fair while..busy with work and i fell ill yesterday..had a bit of a preggie scare cuz i felt nauseaus and gassy, just like when i was 6wks preggie with yee heng..but test turned out negative..whew! dun think i could handle another one so soon, tho hubs was a teeny bit disappointed..doc said it was prob the flu bug that went on to affect my tummy..

about the stroller vs carrier for travelling..i would advise to bring both, as it does get very tiring having baby in the carrier for too long..we had yee heng in the ergo when we went to orchard rd on sunday for 3 hrs and hubs and i were both super tired out!

jete,misch,
cute pics! i didn't realise the discovery ball everyone was talking about was this one! i have the new one (xmas gift)..and yee heng is more interested in turning it upside down to look at the base after spinning it a couple of times..silly fella!

gold piggy,
no need to steam potatoes for so long..its cooked after 20mins at most if its cut up into small pieces!
 
Jete, we have the same leapfrog balls as Paige does. But i think my boy prefer the discovery ball more than the spin a letter ball. Like woof, i am astonished to find that each letter comes with different music and it's really value for money, i bought it despite having the spin a letter ball because, i want to detach the ball from the stand when my boy can crawl...

Lilyn, haha, i steam so long because hor, my son took that long to sleep and i wanted to leave but he started crying. But the nutrients still there la hor..

Oh no, cos it says sterile cups, i didn't sterilise again...it should be ok or no? Else i'll tell my mil not to give him the steamed potatoes...

then should i add milk or water into the potato after sieving then put in fridge or freezer mah?

I made last night and put 1 portion in fridge today he can eat right?
 
muddypie,
so sorries I forgot to take pic last night, busy trying to capture Ike crawl to the fence and stand.. then got too tired, fell asleep inside his playground kekekeek..

Woof,
if u're interested I will measure the fence end to end so u can know if it will fit.. Hubby said can take off a panel or two if cannot fit all 5 panels and a door..

Jete,
i used to have like 4 cats when I was still in Jakarta and I call them all pussycat kakaka... so when I said puss puss all would come!! Now all died oredi and the offsprings are spread over to my neighbours too..

I got music drum from leapfrog too and Ike loves it.. if it plays music he will start dancing with his hands waving and his body shaking front back front back.. kakaka.. I think Ike is our toy kekeke.. Anyone has the old discovery ball that wanna sell to me? Ike likes balls so I am thinking since the old one is detachable, he'll love it..

Lilyn
think boys are like that, they prefer to study how things work rather than playing it kekeke..
 
Jete,
Paige is very smart looking now kekeke.. dont tell me she already aim to be like her daddy taking PhD
happy.gif
I saw a truck toy in the corner!! reminds me I havent got Ike any vehicle toys hehe

Misch,
ya hoorr if you say Paige and your girl are sisters I think ppl can believe..
 
Hi everyone!

Muddypie: I have a tall, thin Nuk bottle at home, and its much narrower than any other brand of bottles.. I'm not sure, but I think its a little too narrow for the soft disposable liner. I'll try it out and let you know tomorrow? Like Nining said, best if you use the Playtex Nurser...the nurser is a good investment coz you never need to replace it, even for your next baby. Better still, you can buy from Nining directly : )

Jete: Nice pic of Paige : ). You got the money I transferred to you at 12.25pm yesterday? The discovery ball looks good. I'll probably buy one when I go to the USA in Jun. Now waiting for Leapfrog.com to have free domestic shipping before ordering...

Lilyn: When I first got pregnant with James, I thought I had gastric flu... : )

Miaon: You're travelling to Tokyo? Lucky you! I've always wanted to visit Japan but my plans always got derailed somehow...the nearest I've gotten to Tokyo is Narita Airport!
sad.gif
WRT stroller vs Carrier...honestly, I think you'll need both. I have overseas guests staying with me several times a year, and those with babies or young children almost never bring their strollers. When we bring them out shopping the whole day, the parents always suffer...most times we end up at kiddypalace looking for a cheap emergency stroller...
 
ytanhn,
ya realli, go backwards in walker, he still dono hw 2 use the walker yet.. tis wkn mus test him again hehe

mel,
i usually go on wkns, either sat or sun lol.. but with the increase in HFM, dono isit safe to bring him to swim now or not. I m working leh but can secretly c forum lah hehe

goldpiggy,
for freezing puree or storing in fridge, is not advisable to add water or milk 1st. Oni add water or milk wen ur boy is ready for the meal.For Avent cups, i still wash and sterilise b4 i use the 1st time cos not used to straight away use it frm box hehe

woof,
wow, u made me 1 2 collect the ball fast fast n play oso hehe.. tis wkn can boh..
 
Jete,

Paige very obedient, sitting there playing with the balls, unlike Javier cant sit still for 5mins one! faint....

Lilyn,

Javier oso more interested in the base than the ball leh, keep turning over the base & stared, wonder wat's he staring at??!!!
uhoh.gif
 
goldpiggy
erh. coz the flight will transit in Narita and got 1 free stopover. so i tot wat the heck. since i gotta switch my boy's day for night here, might as well do it in Tokyo so tat the rest of my gang can walk and see things too. aiyah. i only stopping for 2-3 days only. not enough leave liao... *sob sob*

abt the discovery ball, wah...so many bbs like it ah. maybe i really shd invest in one when i go US in may. haha. will prob need to send a container home at the rate i am going. haha.
 
hi mummies

hi sunbloom
how is france? how much damage u made to your pocket? wah!! u so domestic? buying kitchen appliances? hahah!
 
Cin ,
welcome back and glad that Titus now is well..

Angeline,
that's what boys do, looking at things thinking how it works, isntead of playign with it... u know Ike nowadays studies his buckles on his high chair or stroller, and also the latch at the gate door along the playground fence,.. i guess he tries to figure out how to break these prisons kakakaka..
 
nining/an_gal
hmmm...seems like really boys like to do tat huh. my boy oso like to pull on the buckle and start to examine it leh. then hor when he tired of it, he will do a turn ard the waist and show us his back while he examines the back of his high chair. without fail. gosh.
 
Nin,

Hahaha, u very funny!!
biggrin.gif
Prison...
rofl.gif


an_gal & miaon,

Javier bite the buckles too & even the side of the highchair,maybe due to teething lah, he likes to chew on hard object... faintz!!
 
miaon/angeline,
yeah agree, now they cant sit still on the high chair, like to twist n turn, their waist veri flexible rite haha
 
cin - ya lor, i craze on baking and onlne buying - mad liao

France, not really spend only $1200 on food and travel, $1000 on lodging, $1800 on airfare. Now really broke
 
an_gal
yah lor. coz my boy like to lick and chew the diff parts of the high chair, i will everytime do free service for the restaurant and wipe the whole chair with pigeon wipes and hand sanitizer. haiz.

bb darn super flexible lor. lilke yoga master like tat. i tie him tighter then he screams at the top of his lungs coz he dun like to be constrained. erh. then again, my boy always very noisy one lah. if u ever see a bb who likes to shout and babble at the top of his voice and the mummy is busy telling him to be quiet, then it is prob me and my boy. *faintz*

sunbloom
me oso gonna be broke liao. the infant with seat fare (aka child fare) to US is so super ex leh.
 
hi mommies,

Similac 400gm
NAN 400gm
Mamil Gold 400gm 2x
all unopen and expire in 2009

im looking for Enfapro to exchange. Got or not, exchange with me leh.
happy.gif
PM me.
 
An_gal,
Ike used to do that on his straps in high chair or stroller, then sometimes choked himself when we're not around.. so my maid got clever, she tied all these loose strap akakakakak.. poor Ike lost his hobby and now everytime he's strapped on chair or stroller, he will study the buckle.. luckly combi is good, the buckle press button is same colour with the other part so diff for him to differentiate.. Whereas the lindam fence, the gate latch is in blue, different with the gate / fence itself (white) so when he studies it he straight touch the blue parts hehehe.. but of course he can't unlatch cos it's tough enough for adult to do..
 
Miaon/Angeline
yep yep Ike also turned to his chair back and study it as it it's different colour with the rest.. I'd say he's trying to avoid his food hahahaah...

Heh mommies,
nowadays got to be careful dealing with $$ in this forum, got too many clowns oredi, easily sign up for membership just to stirr soup or taking ride..

I've been following this thread and it is amusing.. too many sock puppets (existing member(s) creating new nicks with hidden motives)

wah sunbloom

helo
wats the hot topic now? have i missed anything?
time flies! our babies going to be 1 year in 3 to 4 mths time. whats your plan? i thking of doing his bday outside my hse. maybe chalet. got any suggestion?
 
hi gold piggy
its called step 2 buggy from toysrus. he just sit there n we can push him around. he loves it.

btw 2hrs to cook a potato is too long! if u want to speed up, cut the skin n then cut the potato into small pieces n steam for 10 mins. then mash it n add a scope of milk powder. he loves it!

helo mummies
go and buy pasta from bellanmy. titus loves it. its organic n its for babies above 7 mths. just boil the pasta for 7 mins. and mix with your own sauce. what i did was i buy the organic carrot puree sauce n mix with pasta. sometimes i do my own by mixing pumpkin n tomato puree. go n try, its easy n something diff.
 
Miaon,
you flying SQ ya? that's why so ex? hehehe.. we flew UA oredi so ex cos flyign to RDU< not popular destination so never got discount..

miaon,

hahaha so we hav lots of yoga master here lol

nining,
haha i use pillow to hide the high chair buckle but most of the time he will remove the pillow.. the buckle is quite hard, i'm afraid tat it might hurt their gums frm the way they bite it

cin,

for bday, i had decided to do it at hm to save all the trouble of carrying many many stuff to other venue.. however, most pro will bring Melcolm to Sentosa on his actual bday
happy.gif
 
Sunbloom,

Cin,
I gave Ike one of those pasta in jar called mum's recipe -cheesey bolognaise and he loves it although I have to mash it further cos he seems to have difficulty in swallowing the chunks.. So will give your recipe a try!!
 
nining

the same thing that happen to ming just happen to me

i wanted to sell the baby head support for $10 and i more then willing to bear the postage if less then $1, if more then $1 the buyer just top the difference.

buyer agreed.

so yest night, i wrap and even go out to weigh the parcel.

the postage is $1, so i msg the buyer to trf $10 to me and give me the address

this morning, i even brought the parcel to work so that I can mail on the way home.
just now, at lunch time, she msg me that she got another one, which is more ex but with immediate delivery so she wan to cancel mine.

arrghhh...

i msg her that she should honor the deal as it is already agreed. i was very angry and pissed but she was apologetic.

haiz...so unlucky

sorry for the long post, need to vent it out
 
cin - got picture to show on the buggy?

Babies now can eat pasta? Then i can try so he won't get stuck with just porridge? haha

Babies pasta haha..

btw, avocado can freeze or how do you all normally feed babies?
 
hi nining
can our baby take cheese? i thought after 1 year old?

the pasta that i have bought are from especially for babies. no need to grind. they r so small. u go to this brand call bellemany. it sell or sort of baby's food.

no no no! they cant take pure tomato. too acidic. u either dunk it in boiling water to boil for ten min. the skin will come off n u cut it into small pieces. i have got this book on baby's food that says they can take tomato once they r 8 mths onwards. its suppose to increase their apetite n good source of vit c.

i have tried on titus, so far no reaction.
 
nining
no lah. not flying SQ. i take ANA coz SQ no direct flight to chicago. haha. but darn ex leh...haiz.

an_gal
yah. i used to juz wipe with wipes only. but when i saw my boy started to lick the chair parts like ice-cream and i saw that some chairs were really dirty, i hit my panic button and started to wipe with hand sanitizer lor. =P
 
thanks cin! cos have been wanting to buy something to put him in and let him entertain himself. haha..saw the picture but its meant for how many years old...and my son still can't sit still, not really advisable right unless i buy first then keep till he's steady?
 
Choco,
ya loo these ppl are so inconsiderate ya.. apologize really mean it or not, we dunno.. jsut want the world to revolve ard them only..

Cin,
ya pure tomatoes still too acidic for them.. I'll try pure tomatoes maybe at his 9th months.. now he's 8 months oredi actually can take but I slow down kekekek.. Cheese - for the cheese in the mum's recipe jar, I think they only use for flavour, cos I cannot taste the cheese at all!! But Ike had good appetite after all sour stuffs like 1/4 of grape that I gave him kekeke.. I also ever gave him 1/2 slice of mandarin orange.. when I took away after I think he had enough, he screamed cos wanting more.. duuuh!!!
 
sunbloom,
sound like me in pilates class, isntructor keep saying bend here, stretch there, I feel stretch until pain, but in mirror I see me just lying down kakakaka...
 
mommies who use avent
be happy, avent will release nurser and liner again, they oredi did in the US, I saw in amazon!! called Phillips Avent Tempo.. they discontinued this system for quite long time..
 
Hi Cin,

glad that bb's fine now. have been waiting for your update. u take care of yourself too =)

the buggy looks fun, maybe i'll get one for my son ;)
