Bluedream, the passbook takes less than a week to process. think november would be a good time to go. december would be a bit cooler. not sure abt the temp there. my dad suggested that we shld go to ocean park as there is a big aquarium there and can take cable car ride but we already went there 2 years ago. u can consider gg there.
re: water
my gal didn't like the mag mag cup when we tried it when she 9months and 11months. anyway, jam75, think babies learn pretty fast. think u'll just need to offer her the straw a few times. maybe try her apple juice or something?
re: bf
yeah! during and after the hk trip, my gal seems to have wean off. just as well, so many ppl telling me nt to feed her anymore cos the other bb might not get enough. which i don't really buy, but just so they will stop nagging at me.
