MLP, you use teether huh? hee. I use kodomo wet wipes packaging. Vivi simply loves her wet wipes package, when its in view, she will always stare at it and want to go or reach for it. YOu still dunno the story of me falling asleep and woke up 5mins later to find her gone from bed. Then I called out her name and look up, she was halfway up my wooden headboard, looking down at me. Lucky nothing happened to her.

Veniz, that's very good! My son's PD only sees kids and babies.
She's a bubbly lady. Matthew likes her alot. Think that's quite important.
Speaking about development, Matthew started crawling backwards last week and these couple of days, he is lunging foward. He would "leap" forward like a frog from time to time, then take a rest or crawl on the spot. Yesterday, he surprised those at home when he held his milk bottle himself and drank 60ml, with 10ml remaining in the bottle! According to my dad, he was "hitting" my dad's and the maid's hands when they held the bottle for him, so they released their hands, and he just went "gulp gulp" by himself!

JP, ya lor, they will be fast after all the crawlings, then we will be biz trying to hide objects we know they will take, pull, etc. When I sing song to my gal, she will make noise to the song, very funny. She is like yours, so much easier to take care after our 1st one. I guess our sons are like the same, go sch cry, etc, except for the age difference.
hee ya ya, now at our bbs' age, all learning to crawl, sit and some stand.
my boy can crawl v fast now, on the floor somemore. and sometimes, he brakes and wanna sit up. in his crib, he's like wanting to stand up now. so we put some toys at the side for him to try to reach... he's getting nearer day by day.

I'm feeling rather stressed... can someone please give me advice on the steps to take when moving house? Fenny, are you around??!!
I'm collecting my home keys on 16 Jan. Planning to move some personal belongings from my ILs place to the new home on 31 Jan. Our stuff from my parents' place to the new home will be moved at a later date (after the paintwork and the flooring is done up). I was told I will need to buy home insurance, turn on water and eletricity supply, ensure have gas, but I don't know the sequence of events or how to go about doing these....

tera: hellooooo !!! waves - what happened to our playdates ??
heeheee - sorry la i MIAed for a while ...
Cactus : new home - buy insurance (fire esp) even begore u move in.
subsequently, call SP servoces to activate gas/electricity/power/water supply. a few days in advace. they are normally quite efficient. think u have to fill in grio forms for them to deduct for your mthly bills.
phone line ?
after that, just move your essentials in, ie fridge, water kettle, beds ? heehee
all the best !!
btw, can i ask if you had your period while bfeeding matthew and before conceiving #2?
i always tot if you bfed exclusively, u'd not ovulate, but some friends have "accidentally" gotten preggers while bfeeding ...
JP: helloooo ! yup, my #1 is 2 1/2 yrs old
fennie: actually just get a tube top , wear under your nomal nice tops, lift up and nurse

Veniz,
I oso bought slimming gel. Supposed to feel hot-ness after applying, but I no feeling leh. I think my fats too thick liao. But smell very hot cos I kept coughing and sneezing. The burning sensation will appear if applied on delicated areas. I am worried that I accidently get the gel onto my girl. Should have bought one within those burning sensation de.
Re: Crawl/ Stand
Lil ZuEn can stand but cannot crawl wor. Her arms seem pretty weak, cannot even support herself on 4s. A while only and she will kiss the bed. Can only wriggle around like a snake.

Felicia,
There are two faces of a coin. One face reflect the affection of a hubby to allow his wife to enjoy the fruits of pregnancy (see:太太). The other face highlights the reluctance of a possibly loss of income/power should a woman decides to employ herself as a SAHM. I can't speak for my wife, but i leave the option to her. She took up the option to quit her job once she was pregnant, staying relevance to the roles of SAHM and wife for fifteen months. I opined she accept the offer more positively than negatively. I still think the issue may be propelled by the mixed hormones changes, especially in the areas of emotional and mental preparedness.
Veniz,
Thanks for sharing your interesting methods of communication. Maybe I could mellow my replies by listening in depth before rebuking. Afterall, humans are made with two ears and one mouth. Listen more and talk less.
Cactus,
Wouldn't it be rather disruptive to be out only for two hours? Ultimately, there are many ways to skin a cat. As highlighted to Felicia, I guess my wife made the option to stay at home. Prior the cold war, she did indicate interest to stay relevant to the work. Notwithstanding that stats indicated that men may have a shorter life span, it becomes more prudent for families to build its finance muscle as early as possible. I guess time is the best element. I would support in whatever decisions she makes. Thanks for the kind offer.
JP,
My mind was immersed with your articles, which proved to be worthy of reading. I concurred that there are many factors that that proved parents are the most influential factor. I could summarised your contribution as mimicry, where brain is designed to learn by copying. It's the same mimicry that mould how the kid develop its character. There are many studies ranging from right/left brain development, creative thinking, memory building, mind mapping, to name a few that epitomized the molding. Issac Newton doesn't do flash card to discover gravity. Bottom-line, I agree that parents are influential but like one rightfully pointed out (cant remember who), but there are many other determinants in the journey.
Especially when this forum is characterised by "Mother"-hood forum, no doubt that the flavour leaned towards mother. I am not here to go against the flow, especially when I don't have to go through the labour of pain, there are equals sacrifice that men take too. While it may be that men choose to hide in their caves (that's why women talks at least twice as much more), it is not exactly a bed of roses out there. In this instance, I cook better than my wife, and that doesn't meant that the sperm provider is a better chef.
There are instances, where you could chat with your friends, take the same nap with your baby (rem. my wife was given an option to have a maid, but nvm) during daylight hours, and when kids are getting older, the flexibility to roam around shopping centers becomes routinisation. Washing at the river is a past with washing machine - Technology drives convenience. There will be not end to comparisons.
The crux I believe in my silence war were largely due to the transitional change of emotions, and possibly poor time management (due to meticulous mannerism). End of the day, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, there are some whom can do it seamlessly, there will be some who struggles. That doesn't mean that the one who struggles has 18 hours in a day! But I thanked you for the article, which widened my understanding how challenging a SAHM can be. After all, a mother's love is ocean deep.
To the rest of the ladies,
Pls carried on with your methods of food preparation, taking notes along the way. Didn’t know broccoli caused gases? How?

The crux I believe in my silence war were largely due to the transitional change of emotions, and possibly poor time management (due to meticulous mannerism). End of the day, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, there are some whom can do it seamlessly, there will be some who struggles. That doesn't mean that the one who struggles has 18 hours in a day! But I thanked you for the article, which widened my understanding how challenging a SAHM can be. After all, a mother's love is ocean deep.
To the rest of the ladies,
Pls carried on with your methods of food preparation, taking notes along the way. Didn’t know broccoli caused gases? How?
