Poissons, yalor... Can see that Garreth very popular with the elders at the party!
 
sharron,
i hv been giving small portions of egg yolk since 8 mths and egg white only recently, but must be thoroughly cooked. For cow's milk, actually i had been using that to mix with her oat cereals (but its been boiled) - guess u gotta try it slowly.

Cactusnah,
glad Eagan's cool rock party went off well too! On hindsight i shld hv stuck with Neo garden cos i last minute switch caterer, portion so small and not as nice as last yr when we ordered! Guests hv to wait for BBQ food to be cooked.. so paiseh! Luckily the afternoon tea one went w/o a hitch!

Mambobb,
i knew i wont hv the chance to carry ZY so b4 party start, gotta take some pics, and cake cutting i make sure i snatch her back, luckily most quite "automatic" - i rem my in law maid been hoarding her so long until i juz go over n snatch her back, ask her go cut fruits.. hee
Really dun hv to feel shy if u ask politely n be assertive. U r the mum afterall!!
 
mambobb,
wah, your experience sounds pretty much like mine, except that my gal was such a cry baby on that day it was such a spoiler!

yup, agreed that the food from ecreative was not really nice - even got comment from frenz about some items not properly cooked... the pineapple rice got egg shell in them (but only one guest had that 'honour' of eating them, thus her complaint!) and the curry chicken came w/out potatoes, just curry & chicken, and some chicken were not fully cooked (obviously they used frozen chicken lor).

as for my nanny, well... she also took over carrying my gal coz we were entertaining frenz which was ok but she went ahead to feed her cake, etc... even when i told her DUN FEED HER but she still insist is OK, and even feed another spoonful of cake to my gal! grrrllll... was so pissed i carried my gal away from her!!

as for photo taking, not very good either coz of my gal's crying, end up we didn't have really nice photos lor. and my hb super gan cheong, even before we had our family photo in front of the cake, he oredi went ahead to CUT them when i was carrying my gal elsewhere.... ahhh,.. MEN!!!

anyway, since it is over oredi, no point crying over it lor... so next year, it will definitely be a small affair! :D but a good experience indeed lah!

Kittybride,

Kitty: well, mine is consider small affair liao.. 2 hands can count the members in the hse liao.. still got remaining fingers somemore.. haha.. anyway glad its over lah.. hopefully next year will be better =D
 
Kat, too late... All 2 tins kena booked liao~

Just need to rant, my stewpig boss passed me things to do at the last min. Just now, the system slow and i was ranting it to my colleague, my boss has the cheek to say i grumpy... Feel like telling her if she gives me her pay, i wont be grumpy.. In fact, she asked me to work like a dog, i also LL.....
 
Hi Mummies,

seems like many of us celebrated our darlings bday over the last weekend. Kiros had his on Saturday too. To prevent him form crying when singing birthday songs with unfamiliar faces around him, we rehearsed the song with him so many times prior to the event. Fortunately he was clapping his hands and smiling so happily when everyone clapped hands and sang.

Me also waiting for the photos to be ready. Fortunately had gotten someone to take pics for us else i tink will be too busy to really take pics on the day.
 
pig07,
wah, good idea hor... but too bad for us, only 3 of us at home, can't do any rehearsal for bday songs! hahahaa...

mambobb,
ya, next year will be small affair for sure. hopefuly by then she will be a happy bday gal! :D

k@ye,
aiyoh, u working for char bo boss ah... not easy hor. hang in there ya... now economy so bad, must REN.......................
 
Kitty, nothing to do with the gender... Basically, i dun like last min things to be piled on me every time...

Basically, my boss is just disgusting
 
quite a few BD celebration last weekend! Another 2 weeks& all our babies will be 1
happy.gif


k@ye, just to share my Eatzi catering experience. Most guests were impressed with the spread and I have a lot of left overs tho I under catered. I actually ordered extra 50 pax of canapes. Fr their website, the canapes shd be on french toast & on that day they put it on ritz biscuits and the biscuits got damp and it became hard to take canapes so most guests left them untouched
sad.gif
The toppings of the canapes also not what I ordered. The meat were good but the veg so- so, the fresh green salad was brown stale salad. Anyway I feedback & was supposed to get a call back last week, still waiting....
 
any babies transitioning to take 1 nap now?

i tink kaira is kinda of adjusting herself to do that now...for a few days she's been waking up later in the morning (but sometimes still need to feed her ard 6+, 7am), then taking only 1 long nap in the afternoon.

now muz crack head to keep her entertained for longer periods of time! cos she can one stretch 4-5 hours dun need nap...

i abit "Stressed" cos i need to adjust my achedule to fit her nap times....lololol....
 
Happy Birthday to Eagan & Garreth!

Sharron,
i started L on fresh cow's milk when he turned 1. I use it for the museli n oats for breakfast n for the pasta sauce. I am still trying to wean him off my breast so he takes that as a drink too. he totally rejects FM so im glad that he is ok with fresh milk. im giving him Farmhouse fresh milk.

dreamer,
L is taking 1 nap now, from 1230-230pm. except on fridays he will nap from 1130-12pm (cos he's in the car, on the way to class) then 3-4pm.
 
Hi, anyone keen to bring baby for an outing? Like to Little Gym or to Gogo? I'm not working this week and am looking to bring him on Thurday or even Wed.

Anyone interested? I think it'll be really boring to go alone.
 
dreamer, ashlee still takes more than 1 nap a day. This morning she nap for abt 45 mins then in the afternoon took a super long nap from abt 2plus to 6plus! Sje just fell asleep mins ago.

Gillian, I brought ashlee to Little Gym this morning. She still has one make up class to go but will prob do it this Sunday.
 
catusnah,
looks like eagan's birthday really very happening leh. I totally HEART the goodie bags with the wands and the sunglasses. so damn cool...heeehee. And the boy of cos like superstar lah, yr hubb call in the SLR frens right =) so happening!

weishy,
i tink u should call the school and check. i actually dont know 1 term how many classes cos i missed 2 classes. i paid $150 so i should get 6 classes.... better call and check abt the HKG trip. as per all bookings for classes, it depends on management if they are flexible. so are not, so miss class means deduct money.
 
Langlao, oh isit?... Actually, a family fren of mine knows the person in charge of Eatzi gourmet...So, i will get her to help me order and if she orders for me, she will get extras for me.

Poissons, my hubby adjusting the photos... His main complaint is that the function room makes the photos all BLUE!!! Hehe, got alot of cute shots of Garreth!!!

Oh Grace, hv u found the pix that my hubby photoshop's Ashlyn's bruise?
 
re: catering
oh dear, i'm have ordered from ecreative catering cos i'm getting the cake from them. from the reviews, seems like it's not really good ah? think gotta change caterer le.

re: eating
i've been giving all kinds of stuff to eliza to eat, especially when we eat out, but i choose what's ok. she tried egg, ie those steamed egg, chawanmushi etc. no reactions. somehow she is losing interest in her meals and always very gian3 with ours, will yell at us to give her to eat. i tried giving her bfast but she doesn't like oats or museli...dunno how to intro bfast to her..
sad.gif


re: napping
Eliza's still on 2 naps a day but the morning nap is getting shorter & afternoon one usually about 1.5-2hrs. langlao3, ashlee can really nap! if my girl sleep that much at night can't sleep le.
 
skye skye, no worries. I used ecreative's catering for Mischa's party. I actually under-catered but the food was enough. IMO the food is ok. I didnt experience anything unpleasant. Jus sharing my experience with you.
 
langlao, A muz be so tired out after Little Gym, wow sleep for so long!

Kaira now takes 1 afternoon nap about 1.5 - 2.5 hours (depending) and honestly, i am the one adjusting!!! cannot look forward to my morning break liao!! =P

skye, hope eliza continues to nap well!

happy.gif


I celebrated his birthay on Sun but today is his actual day.
happy.gif


As for catering I used Chilli Padi, I think their standard has dropped. As the guests complained thirsty after eating the food.
sad.gif
 
kaye,
can't wait to see the pics..my frens were asking for them too! Ya lor, the function room roof top is blue, that's why the whole room looks blue..so ugly.

Oh... In that case, I'll bring him myself and ask a friend along then.

I'm also in the midst of adjusting J's naps. Trying to let him nap 30 mins in the morning and 1.5 to 2 hrs in the noon.
My mum tends to let him nap at 3pm, which I always argue is too late. I will try to set him in the routine this week. Crossing my fingers.
 
dreamer, skye, ash will not get the long nap as today has to go back to infant care. Even tho she nap so long yesterday, she slept from 9 plus to 7 plus this morning
happy.gif
I think she feel secure sleeping on our bed ba.
 
Thank you all. I like the banner too. Ya, it's custom made by my brother-in-law. It's made of cardboard, so cannot bend and keep. It's now in his room, ha ha...told my HB we can re-use it every year. Just "cut" the face and replace new photo. Mine not consider grand, my niece having her party next month and it's gonna be Strawberry shortcake theme. My brother-in-law wanna do strawberry shortcake standee with a lobang in the face so the kids can take pic. Lagi busy then.

The goodie bag ah, ya i spent alot of time and effort. Yes, the kids love the sunglasses and wand. Actually have other ideas but cldnt find the material, so thot of the little carrier. I bght it from a foodcourt uncle, it's actually for the "zhi char" da bao. It's commonly use in Australia, but not in Spore. Lotsa wk trying to sqeeze all the goodies in:)

All the cakes here are yummy and nice looking.
Poissons: The cake goes well with yr theme too. Nice nice!

Grace: Very disappointed with the photos leh. Cant write it in my blog else my HB's friend will see. Many of the photos din turn out the way we expected coz halfway through the party, my HB handed his camera to his friend to help take pic. Guess the cammy is new to him, the photos turned out blur. Sob....just hoping the rest taken by his friends will turn out well.
 
wow, all the cakes are very nice
happy.gif


langlao, are you tired after the class? I think me long time no exercise, legs actually ache abit yesterday. You can still bring her to another gym session, peifu peifu
happy.gif
 
thank you mummy Sharron and michviv.

poissons: ya moist chocolate not too sweet. Good for young and old.... In fact very nice.
happy.gif


Let me see how your cake looks like? U also ordered from her lah...?
 
Rachel, Issac likes Elmo too? Sesame street theme! So cute!!

Poissons, my hubby has finished editing the photos... Think he will get it burn on the CD!

Re: Naps

Jaydyn takes 2naps a day. She usually wakes up ard 8-9am. Takes a nap ard 12ish for abt 1h then another nap ard 430pm. She usually goes to bed ard 10pm. Very late hor.

Re: Cooking
Do you mummies still use slow cooker to cook porridge? Other than porridge, any other kinda food u serve yr baby? I think I'm not very adventurous in food. Hvnt let Jaydyn eat eggs, tofu, etc. Can I also find out what kinda breakfast do u serve yr baby? Can we toast bread for them? When some of u mummies mentioned abt muesli and oats, what type are u referring to? Cos I dunno wat to get for jaydyn. Wanna let her try. TQ!
 
Long time since I posted. been so caught up with work. Wow, you gals got so nice cakes for your babies... I feel so bad. But was a quiet family event as we are so far away from home.

Tinkabel, dun feel bad lah! Matt is so happy with his cake and presents! Our little ones wont know abt such stuff....

They re just happy with us around!
happy.gif


I m so sianz... Dunno whats wrong with Claire... She got sick again, running nose + red eye... Its like just recovered from Roseola (2-3 weeks ago) and now this... Just feel that i m really a bad mummy...

Yesterday worked till no time to pick her up...
 
k@ye: Isaac loves red, so he likes Elmo. I bought an Elmo hand puppet with 2 big eyes popping up. He will kiss Elmo and will laugh when Elmo moves.

if Claire likes Elmo, think John little is selling an Elmo toy when tickle when laugh and roll over. I saw my friend having it quite cute. I tot of getting one for Isaac. Check it up to see Claire likes it.

tinkebel: Matt is very good looking.
happy.gif
Where are u now? How come so far from home?
 
sharon nice cake! I agree wif u, her choc cake is nice. Mine was a hello kitty one!

Jay,
Re:cooking.
I have been giving Hazel breakfast since she turn 8mths. I use organic instant rolled oats- cow brand has this. I grind the oats first so its easier to eat. Jus add warm milk and fruits like banana/strawberry etc.. I also give her yoghurt.
I have started giving her eggs wif bread. I mash the eggs and mix a little milk and add in bread so dat its not dry. My gal loves bread. So I give her bread and non-sweet jam too! So theres alot of variation u can do.
happy.gif
 
k@ye, hugzzzz .... dun be too hard on yourself! guess when our babies have more social interaction, they will be exposed to more germs/bacteria. hope claire gets well soon!!

poochi, does bazel finish one whole piece of bread for breakfast? i am juz wondering how much to feed.

jay, i usually give baby muesli/oat porridge with fruits for her breakfast now. sometimes i give her something extra like muffin/pancake for variety. i also not very good with breakfast for her...hehehe...
 
dreamer, if its jus bread for breakfast than 1 piece of bread. I peel lil bits and get her to feed herself. She loves bread, somtimes i give her bread+1/2 piece of cheese. Actually can give as afternoon snack too. Pancakes/waffles for breakfast also nice! I like ha ha
 
dreamer its ok ha ha.. I never notice!
oh as for wat activites to do wif bb.. I also find it challenging. I read to her, let her play in her own play area, bring her out for a walk. I guess weather is getting cold at ur end so cant bring her out too often rt? If all else fails Show her cartoons/kids vcd? My gal likes elmo world and commercials ha ha ha
 


K@ye,

dont feel bad. Kiros also down with runny nose and fever (again). Must hve been the weather. Plus he is teething.

To prevent him from dehydrating, we gave him sparkling ribena. And only sparkling ribena that he wants. those non sparkling ones he rejects.
