cayenne: End Apr/Early May is mid-autumn so it may get a bit chilly in the morning and evening. But Queensland being the sunshine state is the hottest state in AU and hence temp during that period should not be anything below 15 degrees. But bring a few jackets just in case. Brisbane is a great place for kids. Don't miss the coasts, especially Sunshine Coast!!
gg, i m oso waiting for my boy to call 'mummy'! sometimes, i wonder if he knows i m his mummy.
and yes! 'papa' is very clear.
well, @ least ur bb oredi knows a few words, think 'papa' is the oni word my bb knows...
sob, sob...
now, other than 'mummy', i m oso trying to get him to learn names of his body parts.

Ling Lee : My boy sleeps about that time too, sometimes after midnight!
GG : Mine still can't talk. Only know the word "car" whenever he sees one. But he does understand and point to the objects eg, if we mention fan, clock, dog, fish, monkey etc.

oh yah, when u travel with noah, do u request PD for air-sickness medication or something? I worried Ash may not get used to the air pressure and making fuss on plane...

yunzz: no lah! Now her peers all same as her. Just she started talking young. Girl lah, more talkative. My caregiver (who is my mom) talk talk talk talk to her non-stop hahahaha
cayenne: can, think order now perhaps get in 3 weeks? I only requested for the common ailment meds like cough, running nose, para, bufren, iliadin, and the lao sai ones. What works for my kids is when the plane is halfway through take-off and landing, feed them milk. That will take the pressure off their ears.
snowpear: yah...hehe. Because this child is a boy boy, i tend to be more gan jiong. Cos autism happens 4 x more in boys. In US 1 in 70 boys are autistic, scary stats. But i guess i am just a worry wart keke.

Thanks Canopy & Fitti for your information abt subsidy!
calamari: i also abit worried abt autism too. i read that the symptoms will show when the child is abt 18mths. my boss has a son with autism, very smart child but couldnt talk up till 3 years old.

cleo: yah me too. I have friends around me whose kids are either autistic or dyslexic. Many cases. So got me intrigued into reading more into it. My nephew is also dyslexic so I am a bit more aware. I guess nothing wrong with that, but just have to intervene when young once diagnosed and go for the right therapies. Most are high functioning kids who are very smart but just need to function well socially.
ling lee: my boy is nocturnal oso, but can't blame him cos we all slp so late too. He refused to slp 1st. Gd days 10 plus 11, bad days....12 plus to 1am!
abt talking
my mil jus comment y I never teach my boy 123.....said her nephew's one who is 2 weeks younger than my bb knows how to ans 10 when they count to 9. Kinda pissed! I got teach him what but he doesnt reply wat to do.He knows how to say papa,ah ma, mama, yeye, bus n ball , the rest he can recognise n point to it when we mentioned. I tink my mil is blaming me for not teaching him enuff since I m not working.

Lollipop, since born ald compare, fr height, size, skin colour, hair to their poop! My mil can ask me if my boy needs to see doc cos he poop at least 4-5 times when he was less than a mth old. The other bb only poop once every other day. My boy was on breastmilk while the other fully on fm. I so angry I told her that bb then got prob only few days old shit so little!

Gg, I wasnt angry or Wat but dunno y I suddenly got upset when I got hm. Its one of those days where i so wanna go bk to wk to have me time.... That bb progress quite slow, 14 mths plus havnt crawl, only start to stand n cruise nw. Maybe that's 1 of the minimal things she can do so mil bring it up. That bb's grandma who is my hb aunt always ask us if Ayden can do this or that or wat or nt every wk we see her..... Sometimes I get sarcastic n say he very gong one only know hw to point this n that
Hey, I do dat too! Sometimes I will just say yalor dunno y he so slow wat to do?! Think they get wat we driving at. My boy start walking only late part of 14 mths also but his cousin 3 mths younger can walk le. So they will keep telling u so and so can walk le, talk le, wah eat this and that le, got so many teeth le...endless one la. I can already imagine next time go school worse!!
mummies: I've more or less decided to quit my teaching job to stay at home. I've thought about it for a looooooong time and after several talks with hubby, decided to just do it. Tons of worries in my head but I think I will be very happy staying at home with my kids. No income, no allowance, no maid, no me-time (yet) and we actually will need to move from a private property to a bigger flat to prepare for the kids' future educational needs.
I've thought long and hard, and making this decision was so hard!
PLEASE WISH ME LUCK! =)

Fitti, good luck! Making the decision to quit is never easy. If you are ok with making some sacrifices in lifestyle, and lesser savings, should be ok. For me, I definitely have no regrets putting my career on hold for the last 2 years. But not all mummies enjoy being full time at home, some SAHMs I know enjoy it a lot. Another one, ended up scolding her son so often after she quit her job that she went back to working life after just 6 months. But if you never try, you never know if you like being a SAHM, so jia you!
Yesterday I listed down our household expenditure and had a shock when I realised that it is so high! We made another list canceling out the costs that we will "save" if I stay at home and the expenditure is still high. So glad hubby reassured me that with some lifestyle changes, we can make it. =) Downgrading is not a problem. Maybe slowly I can start teaching art again to small groups from a room in the next home. Maybe I can also finally fulfill my dream of oil painting everyday! When DD goes to school that is.
Wa, suddenly, I feel very hopeful about staying at home! HAHA!
Thank you mummies, for your kind words.

Re : teeth
She already hv quite a no of teeth now (abt 8 or more teeth)
She likes to bite quite some time back & I saw 1 molar below already out some time back. Didnt check her top molar....;p
Re : food/milk
My bb still drink abt 660ml FM/day with 3 main meals/solids. Usually porridge for lunch & dinner abt 150-180ml each time.
Is solids enough/too little for her age ?
Re : weight
My bb is usually only within 20-30 percentile weight as both her parents are skinny....so she only weigh abt 8.9kg....;p
Think she might be the smallest & skinnest bb here.....;p

i agree tt gals r definitely faster when it comes to the linguistic development & boys r usually better in the development of their motor skills.
my gal was able to speak in short sentences when she was 18 mths.
& her vocab bank was definitely richer than her 2 younger brothers @ 12 mths of age.
she was able to recite a few paragraphs of "三字经" by 2 years.
but now, looking @ my #3, juz hoping tt he'll know i m "mummy". sigh...
haha...
sometimes, i wonder if he knows his names.
i oso wonder @ times if he's a bit anti-social.
but guess like wat my hubby says, when the time comes, he'll b able to do wat he needs to do.

fitti, all the best! 加油！
sometimes, i wish i can spend more time with my kids, but work schedule is really hectic.
but like gg & genesis, i dun think i can make it as a sahm.
think i'll fare worse as a sahm than as a ftwm.
hmm... my maternal instinct is simply very weak.
haha...
think my hubby will fare better as a penguin dad, shld the day come when my family can go single-income.

Always saying negative words /comments etc as though she's so experience in childcare but the problem is she dnt have children yet n wanna interfere in others things...
Fitti: u can make it
dnt worry too much things will work out eventually I used2b a ftwm but after my 3rd child I bcum sahm only difference is to cut down on spending

Ling Lee : Likewise, hubby makes a better house husband than me as a SAHM. So my chance of becoming one is quite slim.
