Making Combo

For some times, I did not update on Constance's solid and what she is eating. Yes, she is still taking the good and healthy food. She likes her oats, pearl barley and brown rice but she doesn't really like millet. And so far she is okay with all the puree I made for her. I am introducing meat, tofu, red date and wolfberry into her diet now and hopefully she likes it. Currently, she take about 1 small bowl of homemade cereal with 1 cube of fruit and 1 cube of vege and so far, no allegies. I have decide to make combo meal instead of just 1 type of vege at a time. This is what I made yesterday night (until 12am!!!!)

Tofu with red dates and french beans

First I steam the tofu and red dates together. Going to use the red dates juice for pureeing later.

Then the french beans.

I let the red dates cool off and remove the skin.

Pureed the cook french beans and sieved it. Red dates juice added.

Then blend everything together and pour it into the ice cube container.

Note: Today I took it out from the freezer the color turn abit darker, like cream of mushroom soup color. Hope it is okay.

Last Saturday, we went to Mcdonalds at West Coast Park for breakfast. Just the usual...

Both Daddy and me have messy hair, can tell we just woke up and Mummy drag us to Mcs for hotcakes! Daddy showing off my sexy thighs hehe...

Once at home, time for my bathe before I take my sweet nap. Mummy is trying to proof that I am not a chubby baby and I am make up of muscles. Don't see my lean lean, I weigh about 8.5kg, don't play play.

I am addicted to my teething toy. Wouldn't let go of it...

Once I woke up, I had my fun time in my playpen.

I had enough, carry me please...

Sunday we went to Marina Square after a full-month celebration party at a relative's house.

A clearer picture.

Mummy feel so jealous that Daddy get to take picture with me all the time when she is the photographer. Daddy next time you be the photographer okay?

Swing at Kiddy Palace at MS

She is 8 months today!

And very soon, she will turn 1. Time will be moving super fast during this period from now till Feb next year with so many holidays coming.

Last weekend we brought her to my aunt's place. She is back from Sydney and will stay here till March next year.

Mummy said we use to stay here. Me and my pretty Ah Ma. See how naughty I am, raised my hands so that I can slip off...

What's on my head? Ok, I am little shrek! Mummy found this green headband in Uncle Clarence's room and was so excited to let me wear it. She bluffed me saying I look mei mei!

Sunday we went Ikea for breakfast again. Love to go Ikea for breakfast...can see alot of babies around, a good place for family gathering. Maybe next week will got to West Coast Mcdonalds for supper. We bought a new highchair, the one we have is too heavy and bulky.

Together again at 7.5 months

See how fast they grow! Taking photo together at 7.5 months.

Alycia has more hair but I have bigger eyes and thigh! hehe

And see here where they are younger.

Alycia you are too near to the camera!

Ok much better...

My naughty mummy put my biscuit container on the floor and see how we fight for it!

Alycia we play together again next weekend ok?

On Saturday, we went to IMM for dinner. The mall was so crowded that we just ate our dinner at any place that required no queuing.

We are going IMM with my Gong Gong. If you are wondering why my Ah Ma didn't come along was because she was busy playing mahjong with her kakis!

After dinner, we sent Gong Gong home and we proceed to TCC at Mohd Sultan to meet friends for coffee. Constance was so fascinated by the surrounding that she refused to sleep. We took this photo at 11+pm.

Eyelet Wrap

This is one of the best work ever done. Must be practice make perfect!

Argh...I look so fat! Like my new hair style? At least I look more refreshing and not so 'auntie' anymore. Yeah, can start new project tonight!

My little one who said oi oi oi now

Yes, she is getting more vocal now...Other then saying pa-pa and occasional mum-mum, now her favourites word is oi-oi. And whoever to her is oi-oi...so cute!

See my new haircut! And mummy decided to let me wear an anklet after my fall last week!

At Ah gong and Ah ma's house. See their huge Arowana?

See what mummy is reading to me...

It is not a children's book! Mummy, are you training me to join the Army like Daddy when I grow up!

And mummy is trying her best to dress me up like a little girl...

I took this photo of Constance while she is taking her nap. See her fingers, she done that herself. Haiz...my girl is growing up.

Another farewell

Another of my colleague leaving the Department! Very sad because this also means our friendship is ending here. I knitted a scarf for her, hope she will always remember me =)

Erm, recognise anyone from the photo (except me please)? If yes, let me know haha!

Oh my goodness! I look so fat...She look gorgeous wearing the ruffle scarf!

Flash cards

Yesterday, my colleague asked if I teach Constance to read. Then she told me she attended the Glenn Doman's seminar and spent $599 on flashcards. Oh my goodness! I know GD's flashcards are solid and good but $599! I know the important and benefit to teach kid to read from young but alot of motivation still have to come from the parents. So what if you have GD flashcards but you do not have self-discipline? I do read to Constance occasionally and sing to her everyday. It is so difficult to get her to listen to me while I read as you know, she is so active (unless I tied her up which is impossible haha) but I still try anyway. Now I am adding flashcards and I hope she will benefit from it oneday. Again, it is not easy...especially when she is trying to snatch my A4 size paper!

This is my DIY flashcards. Cheapo me who is trying to save $599! But hey, if you have the heart, even DIY can work. Currently I am teaching things that she can see more often like items around the house and body parts.

And something speacial...

I have completed the left panel of my eyelet wrap. Right panel going to complete soon as well.

FYI, the capalet is done but because I don't like how the ribbing look, I have frogged it. Now it has turned into a big ball. I have decided to change the ribbing into seed stitch pattern so now slowly redoing it. After the eyelet wrap is done, here is my next project:

Oh puffy sleeves are so IN now that I must make this piece! You can find puffy sleeves cardis/blouses everywhere and recently I bought 2 of such cardi and blouse from G2000. I bought some dark grey wool yarns just for this. So once my wrap is done, here I come...

Potty training!

My MIL has been training Constance to poo poo in the potty for quite sometime already and only this weekends, I successfully manage to get her to poo poo in the potty at home.

Last Tuesday, we brought Constance to KKH for her final heart scan. The scan showed her heart is fine and we don't have to go back to KKH anymore...yeah! Then we went to service our car and shopping at Robinson's.
