cin,
Jaeden loves the activity center. Can practically see his face light up when placed in there. He is abit violent also. when he gets too excited, the whole thing will shake.. hehe..
Mine is borrowed frm BIL. Will have to return when his 2nd one arrives in June!
which one is yours? Mine is a brand called Kolcraft, it has a detachable walker. BIL bought in the States when he was staying there. i like the Evenflo Exersaucer, but soo expensive..

Mommies,
thanks
he does takes a lot of his father's treats except for his face shape which is similar to me, a bit round.. his dad's face is ovale..
My sis said the shop can do the book only, we provide them with the picture in a CD.. but photo quality then will be up to our skill hehehe.. good thing is, can take at own pace so can have different age, different clothings..
THis shop, Jonas, is really big in that city.. they have 5 studios in the building and they have 1 whole floor, approx 1500sqft just for selling frames, from lil one to giant poster frame.. I bought a frame for 16 x 20 inch for only abt S$15, wood.. much nicer than Ikea's ones.. I also bought many many small frames for Ike's future pictures (I bought 30 pieces in fact) each costs only abt S$2!!
thanks

Mel: Only 2 front wheels can swivel on my stroller, the 2 back wheels can’t. That’s not an issue when child is seated facing forward, but when he’s facing me, then the 2 front wheels become back wheels, and then its impossible to move in any direction except forward…
Agree with you on walkers, as it discourages children from crawling. Research shows that children who don’t crawl often end up with sensory integration dysfunction and this results in learning difficulties during the school years. Unfortunately a lot of doctors, esp the older ones don’t know this, as strictly speaking, this is not within their area of expertise. However, I’ve not only read research that talk about it, but also tested children with such difficulties and the OTs I’ve worked with also do a lot of therapy with such children. That’s why I’m so against walkers…
Ytanhn: I chose Combi because my friends and relatives with more than 1 child each all attest to its hardiness. They told me that though it looks flimsy, the wheels don’t give way as long as the child is within the weight limit, and can even withstand daily usage on rough roads, eg. the cobbled stone streets of Europe. They also told me that their Combi strollers have lasted beyond 2 children….I hope its true.
Zhu Zhu: Percentile is a term we use in statistics. Essentially, if your child is at the 25th percentile in weight, it means that 25 percent of all children his age weigh the same or less than him. The average range is between 25th to 75th percentiles.
Bliss: James already went for 2 doses of the pneumococcol jab.

hi chatty
how abt stationery walker? is it all right to let them use?
hi jang
yah, mine is called the 2 in 1 activity centre. the base is blue in color n its from kolcraft. maybe titus is small, even after i lower down the sit, he still cant touch the platform. also he tendd to lean forward, is it safe for his back? does your baby sits like that too? or shd i wait till his back is stronger till i let him sit in it. is your baby's head still jittery?
hahaha!! the pic of your baby sitting in the jumbo is so cute. he looks very firm n steady already. what is his weight now? does he still stick to u like superglue? must let your hb try to look after him, if not really no life.
hi nining
ike is so cute!! n its real cheap to take the photos in indonesia.
hi mudpie
nobody answers the phone. not sure abt the shower at dempsey but its a small pool. maybe u can drive down n take alook first to see if u r comforatble with that place.i thk i will give buona vista pool a miss. its further from my place though its on weekday. also not sure how many times do they change water at public pool? the one that dempsey is more for infants n toodlers. saw it when i did the registration for titus. its just next to the kindergarden n they share the same compound.

cin,
we hv the same activity centre! jaeden's neck is super firm already, but the back still quite wobbly. earlier on when Jaeden wasn't stable yet, i put him facing the opposite direction den the backing can prevent him from slouching front.
during that time, i only put him in it for a short period, becos of the wobbliness.. now he can support himself quite well and spent 10-15mins in it..
he enjoys his bumbo time too! however, his thighs cannot fit already.
how i wish bumbos come in sizes. Haven brought him for his jab since 3months. he shld be 10kg(i think many mummies will gasped at his weight) according to my digital weighing scale...
he is still superglue but better nowadays. MIL is here to help me for a short period too!
I'm considering to put him in infantcare when he reached 6-8months. I don't think i can stand staying at home for so long. Also, i think in infantcare, he can be exposed to more ppl, less afraid of strangers and they can "teach" him everyday. unlike at home, me and hubby are always lazy to even go thru his flashcards..

wow jang!! your bm has got power!! wat u eat eh? wah!!! 10kg. no wonder u complain backache.
i will take your advice abt the sitting position in the activity ctr. it really take up alot of space.
dun worry abt the flashcards. i also cant be bothered with that. i just want him to have fun, so bought him toys to play instead. they can learn through playing too.
u going back to work in 8 mths time? u sure by then you bear to leave him at infant care?
sometimes i jokingly tell my hb that i want to put him in half day infant care. at least i can have some break.but wat do u do whole day at home with him? why dun u bring him downstairs for a walk? can get to know more mothers in the process. but i know its not easy to look at the baby 24 hrs a day esp if they dun sleep.

nining,
very nice pics with handsome ike.. definitely cost a lot more if done in sg. i might also want to do photoshot for chloe but in jb where i did my wedding pics, half the price of that in sg.
zhuzhu,
i went to united sq level 1 near the taxi stand. very professional and gentle when handled chloe but a bit expensive at $18... but ok lah, still consider well spent cos she looks nice with layered hair unlike the salon downstairs my hse, hairdresser was very rough in handling her, machiam keep pressing her head and she cried throughout. she ended up looking like a boy too. u can see my 'complaint' in my blog.. hehee..
mel,
'what to expect' is indeed a very informative book. me also had the one for pregnancy, just one book covers everything.
choco/mel,
in fact i paid more $$$ just because of the reversible handle which i thot might be useful but end up it's just too difficult to push.
jang,
thanks for the 'referral'.. hahaa.. yeap, i used to cut for chloe until her hair got too bushy and out of shape so had to send her to a proper haircut.
an_gal,
so ur mum confirm taking care of melcolm after u start work? how's ur PIL's reacting, not too much of a problem to u i hope.
