Yuki,
yyah same. So I think it's best to buy toys that baby can grow up with i.e. the FP grand piano, kick and swirl, The singalong stage, the Leapfrog drum etc. I think those are worth buyin.
 


wow... so many babies made in other countries!!! gd gd... kekeke

alfafa
okie... i'll hang at the back seat... arigato!!!
erm... tis is the first time i'm using the HANAMUGARI BABY CARRIER... not sure my boi will like it anot coz fr birth till now, he's on pram when we're out...

Thanks for the info on philips blender. Will buy either that or Braun.

AND u sure have lotsa toys for Gracie leh!
 
Blurjen
You so fast start brushing bb's teeth. Wahaha......my #1 already going to 3 yrs old and i have not teach him or force him to brush his teeth everyday yet. :p
 
Hi all mummies,
wow, e thread is so long after mia for few days! cant catch up wit e thread liao.haha. me had been down wit flu 4 3 days liao. luckily got my mum 2 help me look after my gal during nite time. at least nite time i get to sleep fully!

some updates about my gal. She had turned 6 months old yesterday. my mum had started to feed her porridge. I do fetch her fish too. sometimes my mum will cook wit potato and carrot. She can eat quite a lot. She can finished 1 bowl (those type of bowl with 2 sections) for 1 feed! My mum is feeding her porridge 2x per day. 1 in e afternoon, 1 in e evening. She likes porridge a lot. She no longer wan puree liao.
 
blurjen
I use handkerchief and clean my gal gums whether i bath her. I had bought a soft hand toothbrush. intend to use it only after she had her teeth. i tink u shld clean her gum 2 let ur bb get use to brushing teeth ba. tat's just my tinking
 
alfafa
when i give her the toy 2-3 weeks ago she doesn't really like it, prefers to "eat" the lamaze soft book instead. oh ya how come i didn't think of putting leapfrog counting pal in the carseat for her to play.. heehee... good idea! Ok got new toy to entertain her in car liao.
happy.gif


sunshinebb
ya lor now she puts everything in her mouth, from toys to pillows to bolsters to hankies and even my fingers. If nothing in her hands she'll stuff almost her whole fist in her mouth. I'm always busy pulling it out of her mouth heehee.
 
was busy entertaining her. Aiyo Gracie is such a handful these days. She "swims" along on the LG playmat, rotating and crawling backwards really fast. She can also go from a lying down position (whether tummy or back) to a sitting position. Though she is not crawling forward she has alot of "patterns" now. She also does the "humping" motion alot hahahahhah sometimes she would even do a one hand push up. Kekekke damn strong. I'm kinda glad that she is still not crawling forward yet cos we have not yet decided to get a play yard.

teddybaby,
because we already have a proper blender i.e. those that you use to blend smoothies we figured a handheld one is easier for baby food. cheap cheap. Yah boy. I miss the roadtrip too. This time we probably won;t be half as adventurous with her around. Plus we have toured most of the interesting places in the west coast liao. Hmmm only left out LA, which doesn't interest me much. Might just visit this time round for the lack of better options.

Kome,
huh?? didn't read the archives but ... Andver has been feverish for more than a week? Did the PD say anything? Could it be teething?

Asura, oh yah. Bet they have many different options too. Kekekek hey your travel series is fantastic. I'm sure many mommies are jotting down notes as theyr ead too.

Prosper,
waaaa because I am very long winded mah. Once I come in I will post and post and post even if it is to myself. So eventually the rest will take pity and come in to reply. LOLs

Somemore I don't have MSN so it's either the forum or nothing! lazy to install msn.
 
blurjen, sharlin, kome,
oh yah. Thanks for the reminder. Gracie also has a tooth on the lower gum. I bought the soft tip baby brush before. Time to take that out.


pppsssssst just now she "kok-ed" her head quite loud against one of the plastic legs of the FP stage. I heard but didn't make a sound. She was stunned for a moment then she turned around looking for me ... for sympathy I think. I quickly looked away. Kekekke in the end she lost interest and went back to play. Bet she would have cried if she saw me looking at her. :p
 
Alfafa, go n setup msn la, it is very happening at night
happy.gif


Yuki, think our babies at this stage just love to keep their mouth full of stuff,haha!
 
mangogal,
cannot lah. At night if I have time I need to finish sewing the dolls. so better not be tempted by MSN. :p heeeee

Actually I prefer to meet up. Sometimes I have no time or ... got to admit, interest, to surf the forum. heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee cos I prefer to chat face to face with people by going out.
 
wow quite a number of babies made overseas heehee ;) perhaps i shall plan no#2 overseas. hahaha


sharlin
hope you recover real soon and take good care ya. Weather not so good lately, drink more water.
your gal loves porridge huh.. can eat alot leh. So her noon and evening porridge meal will replace her milk feed? Or she still drinks milk as per norm?
 
irene,
I slowly collected then over a few months leh. Good deals are not easy to come by. So if I see one even if it is for a later stage I will just get first. :-D

check wts, wtb, ebay and some expat sites too.

ok gtg. think she wants to nap. Need to either latch her or rock her to sleep aiiiiiiii
 
Kome, cos i read somewhere tat need to start early so the bb will get use to the brush teeth routine.

Sharlin, I also use graze to clean her gum n teeth but always forgot. I bought a bb toothbrush so tot of start early.

alfafa, same same i also almost forgot to take it out.
 
<font color="ff0000">cindy</font> - how come cher got more n more markings ah? my friends also complaining haha...give less homework, then less marking :p

<font color="ff0000">alfafa</font> - wa from what u describe, gracie does have a lot of toys!

Hi prosper,

Re: Wooden toy piano
I ordered one in white for model 1. if not enough orders i'll go for the black one. It comes with a song book..
I think this piano requires the participation of an adult..like you play together with your child and sing along with him. Whereas for the fp grand piano, the child should be able to play on his own or entertain himself with it.

overall, I think this wooden toy piano is quite cheap..if there's any defects can exchange for another piece.

You can see my name in the order list lah. hahahaha
 
alfafa, i like the Lamaze fish toy..how much u buy? i've the leapfrog caterpillar counting pal too..but mine is not the plush toy. And i've the leap frog drum. All these grabbed from my niece who has outgrown them. wahahha..

Vernice80..im keen to get the lamaze books from china too..did u managed to get any?
 
aiyo, now that the thread is alive again, i'm having a difficult time to read all the posts

wow...it seems tat e thread has resurrected...
happy.gif


so much to read but glad to hear all of us sharing again...

for me n hb, we planned a MIJapan...but ended up a MISpore cos e hotsprings we dipped in might hav killed our little frienz...heee...

wooden piano...saw e BP but i thot isnt it better to let e child go thru e course offered by an institutn? Like all toys, it may go to waste if e child not interested...same for all those toys we bought for them...not all interest e child...we thot they like light/sound/movt...sometimes, wat catches their attn may b e weirdest stuff...n not necessary visually appealing...jus my 2 cents worth of thots...

abel is approaching 6mths sn; hez increasingly mobile n tat makes me getting a bit afraid...scared he toppled over...jus now he nearly did tat...i jus ran to grab him...my heart stopped...tink now becoming more challenging, when he not qite ready yet eager to use his body more actively...he reminds me a bit of releasing his acupoints...

Alfafa...blessed trip...not sure why holi easily to conceive but i guess once ur body relaxes, our little frienz will work better too...
happy.gif


Prosper...ur MIL gave ur gal kiwi? I refer to e food chart by Nestle...gotten frm pd...it is classified w orange / mango...citrus fruits...these items r best taken after 12 mths as they may cause oral allergy syndrome...u may get these free pamphlets frm Mothercare or pd to show to ur mil...if u don wan to b e bad person, ask ur hb to do it lor...i showed this to my mom @ e start of weaning...as for porridge, yar cod fish muz b yummy...but curious, how do u remove e layer of blub/oil frm e fish?

Blender
Philips hand version really gd? Is it run by electricity/batteries? Tempted...Tempting...Can get frm Courts? Aniwhere else?
 
Lenny ur pil muz hav done something to make u really disappointed w them...u mentioned abt e irony...of e fact tat ur ils tried so hard to get a gal but in vain...

initially, i had a lot of misgivings towards my mil...rite frm e start when she asked me funny Qs like 'How come when u noe u having a bb boi frm gyni u like no expression on face?' My blur hb innocently retold to her...to e extent of holding my boi like a treasure whenever her frienz r ard, i hav accepted tat she tinks very differently frm me...i not sure if this is e case of being her 1st grandchild n grandson in particular...everytime, she says something to get me flustered, i force myself to see frm her pt of view...

Oso in some heated exchanges, she actually revealed tat i wasnt very welcome since e 1st day of our marriage...??!! Well...even though these words were said in a moment of anger...i still thot this was very unbecoming frm a senior...

Hr now, my hb is making every effort to improve e situatn bet us...we r making bb steps to work on...cos ultimately, 2 persons we love will end up forcing to take sides...ur hb n ur gal...

as long as i noe she has e interests of my son, no matter how weird her ways r...in a sense, my behaviour muz appear weird to her too...i hav learnt to let go n give her wat she desires...more time w my son/her grandson...

Frm e whole episode, i learnt tat itz tiring to put on a front in front of e ils...worst is when our hb/lo r stuck in e middle...

There r times my hb will jus wonder if i argue w my mil when he is not ard...(she finds e best time to get me flustered when he not ard sometimes) ... then he will heave a sigh of relief n jus says...

<font color="aa00aa">"I wish we can live together in harmony..."</font>

Hope one day, ur relationship w ils can b better...out of respect for our hb...

My humble thots again...

<font color="ff0000">strawberrys79</font> - I haven buy the lamaze books yet. Will be doing so this 2 weeks. u can visit tabao website for the soft books. I am getting from here -
http://search1.taobao.com/browse/0/n-g,nrqw2yl2muqlv36x2mqmv2i----------------40--commend-0-all-0.htm?ssid=e-s5&amp;at_topsearch=1

I think some ppl are holding spree from tabao from Overseas Spree Thread. But I am not placing orders there, getting my china friends to get it and pass to me when i meet him beg oct.

<font color="ff0000">pigpig</font> - not starting BP lah...too troublesome for me to coordinate as i am always out of town. if 1 or 2 item still can, otherwise too much work

<font color="ff0000">ayambunny</font> - hows ur 'slimming' session going on? still going?
 


vernice, you back from india??

pigpig, the boo boo thing will stop by itself, so no worries..

my bb was made in greece during honeymoon.. the holidays made us feel so relaxed and probably easier to conceive?

i simply loved Lamaze toys, their colours are vibrant and quality of their materials is very durable and of cos the toys catches bbs' attention immediately...
