Ramblings of a Mami of Two

Check achfam's post for pics! Mummy's so proud of you baby! XoXo! Meanwhile, current lesson for Kimi is salam: Either one of us say "salam" and offers his / her hand The other one sambut the hand and salam Lepas salam, cium tangan while saying "muah" Yes, I know its a little bit too late to teach him teeheheh but raya is coming and I need kimi to learn shaking hand in time for raya. ( for the purpose of ambik duit raya, of course. It makes the whole duit-raya-giving cuter! ). p/s: also to avoid from getting unkindly comments. Sometimes I dont take comments lightly. Tehehehehe.

1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE . ' If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning. ' 2. My mother taught me RELIGION . ' You better pray that will come out of the carpet. ' 3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL . ' If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week! ' 4. My mother taught me LOGIC . ' Because I said so, that's why. ' 5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC . ' If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me. ' 6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT . ' Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident. ' 7. My mother taught me IRONY ' Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about. ' 8. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS . ' Shut your mouth and eat your supper. ' 9. My mother taught me about CONTORTIO...

" Kimi ni dah besar dah ni, dah nak tatih ni, dah boleh pakai walker dah ni! nanti lambat sangat pakai walker ni lambat dia pandai jalan nanti ni! " . Lately, we've been getting suggestions like that, but we have reservations. I read somewhere that walkers are not good for baby's physical development, but didn't really pay attention that time sebab belum kena pakai lagi. So recently I did a bit of googling and this is what I found ( source ): Newer-style walkers have large trays that prevent infants from seeing their moving feet . Walkers of all sorts (new style, with trays, and old style, without trays) prevent infants from exploring and grabbing at things around them, which is critical to their early mental development. Walkers give parents the false impression that the baby is safer in one of them , than left free to crawl on the floor. The truth is that walkers effectively give babies the mobility of a toddler at 5 months - abilities that neither the baby has...

OMG. I've burnt a huge hole in my wallet last week when i purchased 2 toys at once from Toys R Us. Then when I walked out of there, I walked into Times Bookstore and saw Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl . I just had to buy it. And I did. I finished reading it in just two days. Mannnnnn. And today I saw these things on the net that made me feel the urge to spend some more. And more. And more!!! The thing is, I cant afford them. Not this month at least, not after spending hundreds on toys and a book. Haih... But I wantttttttt!! See how pretty and convenient these things are?? Item 1: Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder Kimi needs his vitamin C. All this while he's been getting his Vit C from the frozen fruit cubes I made in weekends, thats assuming the vitamins were not destroyed by the boiling and freezing. So just imagine how much better it would be he could get it from fresh fruits?? And the bibik only has to peel them, not actually cook anything for him. (You know I have reservati...

Actually, belom 10 months lagi, but will be in a week. 10 wonderful months with kimi. Sangat best. Can't thank God more for giving me this experience. Milestones so far (not in order): eats almost EVERYTHING except anything too sour will "terjeluek" to show that he's penuh, this is when we failed to notice that he's already playing with his food and kept feeding him can feed himself using a spoon, with mommy's assistance of course dah sunat =D dah boleh cakap baby talk like, "dadadadada" or "nenenenene" or "tatatatata" feeds freestyle (mencangkung or meniarap sambil feed). Left hand must always move around, like, at mommy's other nip or hidung or mouth or rantai can merangkak cepat gila!! can now berdiri sendiri sambil papah2 at dinding or meja or whatever that he can pegang, and can confidently lepas tangan masa berdiri! can jump by himself , by supporting himself dekat grill and loncat2 can do the geram on cue ( geram as...

Lunch Punch Doodle Bread . More pictures on Flickr. I LOVE these things! Great inventions that helps make parenting, at least when it comes to getting your little ones to eat, a bit easier. Jangan kate budak, I think Ach too, would enjoy his puzzle-shaped sandwich! Yayang, I want these can???
