8th month growth note

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 01:58:00 GMT

Yeah, finally Chloe crawls on knees and crawls faster. She likes to explore around in the house so Mama needs to guard her now.

How am I doing recently after being a full time mum for 9 months?

9 months, that was how long Chloe in my tummy. And now another 9 months passed, she is a crawler whom is learning to walk and stand. Feel satisfied seeing her growing, but hard to get satisfaction from being a home maker. >< Trying to get the fun from it but is not that easy while doing routine housework and baby care day by day...

Baby food making

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 09:16:00 GMT

By chance I read this blog, and discovered many many childcare info from there then I learnt about this Dr Denmark. Therefore I am interested on her recommended baby food, thus I did google, apparently not only Taiwanese mummies follow the recipe but also Caucasian, of course it is a westernized recipe but it makes me trust more as both East and West tried it. ^^

Like I mentioned, after started solid food, which is the traditional plain porridge with vege and fish meat, Chloe reduced her appetite and losing her interest in eating solid. Luckily I found this amazing recipe and solved the irritating feeding problem. ^^

7th month growth note

The disaster for 7th month is Chloe had bad flu (doctor said already showed early bronchitis symptoms), so she nearly sicked for whole month, cough and runny nose up and down plus feverish. Slept not tight, bad temper, runny nose, chesty cough... when baby sicks, parents would not be able to rest well too. Furthermore, cw sicked and then Chloe spread to me also... However, now seems fully recovered, hopefully the flu doesn't come back again, at least, not so soon.

Btw, new milestone, 7 mth wk 1, Chloe was able to sit on her own from crawling position, thus now she can sit steadily without suport.

7 mth wk 2, Chloe first tried to stand with support. Now she can stand quite fast from crawling to kneel down position then stand. Currently she tries move her steps and exploring more places to stand. Guess, walking is not too far away from her. ^^

After being a mother..

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 02:00:00 GMT

After being a mother, many things around me and hubby changed. We are not free to do anythings we like, we can't watch few movies a month, we can't go for travel that often, we can't sleep through at night, we can't sleep till 11am during weekend... many many more. I am also changed, from being a wife to a mother whose life with baby-oriented. I can't say all these made me regret to have a kid but sometimes do have grumble. However, after these 7++ months for being a mother, I am getting used to all these changes. Whenever not enough sleep or boring, I will look at this adorable baby of mine and tell myself to move on! :)

6th month growth note

The greatest achievement this month is Chloe knows to crawl! Yeah, finally she figured out how to crawl forward, even though still with tummy on floor but she can be quite fast if there is something she is really eagerly to reach for. And Chloe also joined the first 'run' in her life, but was the mummy and daddy did the 'run' for her. Lol. Oh ya, Chloe is having two little whites now! So please don't call her 'Boh-geh' anymore. Ha ha.

Chloe's first run

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 06:16:00 GMT

I just realized that this is also my first run..ha ha. Brian signed us up for Metta Charity Run so we woke up early in the morning to join the 'run' at East Coast. It was fun but was me did the 'run' for Chloe. Ha ha, by the way, is really a good experience. ^.^

5th month growth note

Wed, 18 May 2011 01:42:00 GMT

Time flies... Chloe is 6 months + 1 week today. I don't even have time yet to note down her 5th month. Better hurry up! I guess the biggest achievement this month is Chloe sleeps alone in her own room. Yeah, because of her, we gave up our big master room then switched room with her as the smaller room is really not baby-friendly. BTW, worth it if Chloe can learn independence since young. In fact she doesn't really know where she sleeps, just that will be troublesome bit at night to go over if she cries. BTW, we are getting used too. So whether to let baby sleeps alone is not depends on baby, is depends on parents want to spend more effort.

Decision...decision..

Thu, 05 May 2011 06:00:00 GMT

In our life, there are a lot of situations that we need to make certain decision. Maybe I am making a good one at this moment, then maybe I was not when I look back. But now, I believe what I believe, and I choose what I need to do. What's the best for Chloe for now, I shall go for it! :)
