Hmmm not sure if being SAHM helps in baby’s development. Maybe cos I give her a lot of attention? As compared to babysitter or helper? But how does that help in her holding her own bottle? LOL. And happy anniversary!!! And congrats to ethan flipping!!! He give mummy and papa anniversary present
good boy!

Me too. Shoulder blades very painful. Cos of all the bending over cot and carrying, and baby bjorn. My physiotherapist taught me this exercise, which I do not do religiously… sit straight, shoulders relaxed. Then slowly and gently try to push your shoulders back without arching your back or pushing your chest forward. It’s a very subtle movement. Your elbows also move back a bit when you do this. Just do a few sets a day

Never heard about the abacus, pen etc thing. So interesting! Kwee cho my mother said any time after 4 months. To signify that baby is not vegetarian anymore (ie only drinking milk)
Re hand eating
Ummm poppy stopped that and now eating her toes. So still got to wipe hehe.

For kwee cho:
Kan choi (a vegetable) - so that she will be kan lek (hardworking)
Spring onion (cong) - so that she will be cong ming (clever)
Fish - for prosperity (she just drank the soup and she loved it!)
Chicken thigh - for ho mia (a good life) and so that she will always have ho liao (good food) to eat
Also supposed to do other things like shave head, sit in the rattan chair (kia bu ee or bu kia ee – not sure) and my late grandma also used to bring ‘asap’ all over the house. But we only did the makan bit

Sayang sayang baby kayden. Keep him hydrated ok? Cos lao sai will lose a lot of water one. Never mind, he will be a hardy boy after this!

LOL about ‘are you shopping again?!’ gulp. Poppy long time ago in Bethlehem already wearing 6 month clothing for some brands liao.
Wah your maid also pattern showing already ah? First time in SG? Walau, touch your nnp?? Last time mine watch me BF I already told her I’m not comfortable with it. Is yours Filipno? Apparently they are very ‘open’ one. But still… so daring to ask for HP!! Has she been mixing around with other domestic helpers? Is that how she got all these funny ideas?
Drinking water
You know, it just occurred to me that 330ml is the volume of one can drink right? I definitely drink at least that much per hour, multiplied by at least 10 hours, I drink 3.3litres of water a day AT LEAST. Walau. No wonder I pee so much.

Wah the cake so nice. If I were a 5 year old girl, I sure want keke. Ummm is the doll HALF a Barbie doll? Gulp.
Re hugging bolster
Forgot who asked this question. We don’t have a bolster for poppy but she has a big worm toy. Got ling ling long long inside one. Sometimes when I look at her she is hugging a big fat worm in her sleep. Quite funny.
