hi all..
i'm still very busy at work (financial year closing...) but quite frustrated so came in to check and look see.
My contributions:
BABY WALKING
Ruth likes to walk - hardly want to sit in stroller nowadays.
But she can only walk assisted - hold her right hand. And she prefers to be held on her right side. if hold her left hand, abit not as steady one...
SHe is also a 'walker baby'...but since 2-3 months back, my mum stop putting her in walker cuz she is more willing to crawl around. ALso, she learnt how to get down from the bed (which is actually queen size mattress on the floor) so it's 'safer'.
Yesterday she finally voluntarily walked quite far (assisted) with this 'dimsum trolley' kind of walker i bought for her sometime back. Today she can even change the direction - shift to avoid furniture n etc. My hubby was so delighted. I told him all in good time. Think she's quite tall (>80cm) so perhaps takes abit longer to get used to walking.
HUBBY ABILITY:
i think from what i see here, I should be quite pleased with my hubby la. During his school hols, he is asking to look after her instead of putting at my mum's, unless he got things to attend to of course.
I'm quite happy cuz he can generally manage bathing her, feeding her, recognizing her poo poo signals, wash her backside, play with her, etc on his own.
Started out with me getting some backaches...so every morning it's hard for me to carry ruth. He started bathing her in the mornings on weekends.
Then i think he observe me and my mum and learn i guess.
ONly thing is he can't cook la. so nowadys if desperate, will rely on heinz bottle food. But Ruth will take solids like our rice n etc....so it's just the salt and oil content that gets in the way.
Today he can even tell me..."when she fall asleep, i faster faster go wash bottle n hang clothes".
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that.
Very happy day for me.

I'm in a dilemna.... my SIL who has been looking after Davier decided to quit... no notice given... just tell us after we finished our dinner (9plus) that she can't take care anymore as she is not feeling well and need a break...
We 'begged' another SIL to help her the next day and today, sent to my mum's place to jaga... but my mum won't be able to take care for long-term also as she is looking after my bro's kid and hubby is not willing to send to my bro's place.
Furthermore, my older boy's cc is near this SIL... so gotta ferry to different places every morning also not convenient.
Dunno how now... sigh.
New maid coming 2mlr but my SIL also dun wanna try eye power this maid... I dun feel safe leaving Davier alone with maid as had bad experience with previous maid, tt's y send her back and was maidless for more than a mth...
If no new maid, at least can put in InfantCare.. but got maid, no eye power also problem... sigh... any advise?

wow, that IS impressive!! good work in training him!
emoments
oh dear, sounds like quite a headache. do you think your SIL will change her mind? maybe she just needs a break and will be able to help eye power next time? although she's doing you a favour, it's also not v nice of her to just tell you she quit and expect that next day you can gao-dim yourself right.
agree that not such a good idea to leave baby with new maid, how about get your mum to eye power?

Gar, wa, going to Japan this Sunday, so exciting, I wish I'm going too.
Went for my first IPL treatment today, zap zap, more painful than plucking but at least it's fast and hopefully will be permanent hair removal after some more sessions. Have you tried their facial? Is it good?
Lezy, wa, vast improvement from last time when you complained that he does not bother to help you with Ruth. Think as the child gets older and more independent, it's easier to look after and more fun to play with them. My hubby also like that. Sometimes, he keep telling me our gal so cute so cute, like so thick skinned like that. But I think it's because now father and daughter can play together so he enjoys her more.

Sweetpea,
Think my gal E is not good at find motor skills. A baby girl at my playground(10 days older than my gal) knew how to press button 3 months earlier than E; and my colleague's daughter know how to on/off TV remote control at very early age-----colleague's wife plays very good piano.
Join us for some playdate; let me admire James' fine motor development. E is like me --very bad hands coordinations; didn't get that genes from my hubby who is quite good at hands; always fold any paper/receipts/flyers on hand.
Xiaoyun,
When applying "zoo friends", staff there will take digital photos of your family, and make card instantaneously.
Leila,
Brought my girl to waterplay yesterday again; she loved it. She sceamed and kicked when we tried to remove her and go back home. ^_^. ^_^.

she's only 50+ but recently, the medical checkup results showed that her cyst and fibroids are growing. the doc advises her to go for operation... sigh... that's y i am looking for childcare centre and also nanny...
there's one childcare centre near chom pang side, it's vegetarian one, montessori style in teaching. i am thinking of putting my gal there. but the fees and the distance from my place making me think twice....

Xiaoyun, RaeAnne has been rejecting cereals for 1 week plus liao. Do you still want Happy bellies oatmeal? I got 2 tins to let go. I got 1 tin of brown rice too if you want to try. If yes, I can pass to you when I go to my mum's.

Hi Tubao
Hope to join a playdate sometime but so far too busy coz hubby furthering his studies. We will usually be in church on Sundays.
Are you friends of the zoo? I did think its more worth it to apply when we have older kids since now our babies go for free. I have thought of applying the individual passes for me and hubby. Need to go at least 5 times to make it worth it. Plus parking is free with the membership.

Hi, SweetPea/Xiao yun
Family pass can include 2 parents + 2 grandparents+ 1kid or 2 parents + 1 grandparent + 1 maid + 1 kid; costs $180 while single pass costs $80. My colleague applied single one for himself because his wife doesn't join him and kid for zoo outings.
Zoo is 10 mins' drive from my home (woodlands)^_^.

If can't, you can use my original code(with E's video one ^_^) and see....
Hi, esther
Yah... upload video to youtube. Put youtube link into posting html of blog. Yah...uploading video takes long; can minimize window; but can't close window.
Hehe.....I am not familiar with this either; good enough to make it work. Maybe other mummies know other efficient and friendly way.
