Milestone // pincer grasp

Introduced the puff to Megan for the first time. 

It's funny to witness how she put the puff into her little mouth. It took her ages to do that. But she's learning fast. Well done, Megan. 

That was taken one week ago, and now she had perfected her pincer grasp and moved very quickly this morning when she's offered the biscuits. 

House warming

We celebrated Cat's birthday at Donna's new home. Cat was sent to hospital on that day, so it's a gathering without her. 

Donna's place is great and it's very spacious to accommodate the ever expanding BFF. 

As Megan is sticking with me at this new place among so many strangers, I did not have much time to take any pictures. 

It's a brief visit for me again as I needed to rush home before 5pm to feed Megan dinner. 

I arrived exactly 3pm. Always proud to manage time quite well after being a mom. Good to let Megan to familiarize the new place before the strangers are coming. 

Well equipped living room. Crawling on the baby playmat very similar to her own at home. 

Megan loves men generally. But Ball Ball is very persistent, haha. Megan did not cry anymore. 

A group picture before I am leaving...

Babies Gathering - May 30

Group photos with babies could be just a mess. 

Megan finally losens herself up in my friend's place. 

Megan and triston playing together for two seconds. 

Cassie is the oldest girl there. Big sister, well done! 

Babies in a line playing.

Megan does not want to be with my friend Carol.

Passing out after meeting so many aunties. 

Megan received gifts today again! They are so pretty.

Giraffe from Seoul

Bibs and Wolly elephant from Cath Kidston.

Tin tin once told us that megan looks like madam. But today, she said megan looks like Sir when he's young pointing his old photo on the wall. I was astonished by the similarity!! 

So I made the comparison here. I think they look 95% similar

Ah Lun thinks this is not fair, so let's compare our look here. May be our eyes are both round, other than that, megan looks like her dad so much. 

Mama and Little

Teething necklace from Mama and Little. Megan loves chewing it.

Milestone// Cutting the last feed

As per suggestion by Gina, baby should just take three full feeds of milk and 3 solid meals after 6 months old. 

We did not rush to reduce the number of feeds from four to three, but as I felt that she's not increasing the solids lately (esp after my biz trip), this could be possibly affected by the 10pm milk feed. 

Following Gina's advice, we gradually reduce the milk feed at 10pm. All of a sudden, she increased her appetite in the day time. It works!! How amazing!! 

Now, she's taking 3x 200ml per day plus 3 proper solid meals at the age of 7 months 3 weeks. 

Now, the whole evening is ours!! 

She loves taking congee in the morning, compared to baby rice. 

Working mom

I know I do not fit to be a full-time mom. Being a working mom makes me a better mom and better self. If I am sitting all day long to wait for my husband to come back home, I feel like a loser...

I am glad that my company is very family-friendly so making my life of a working mom much easier. 

This article speaks what I think.

Moomin - Ah-Mei muppet

Entertaining Megan with Ah-Mei muppet. 

Attacking Ah-mei's hair bun. Help!!

Perks we love

I really like Ah Lun's catering client. They always leave him so much high quality juices. This time, our favourite popcorn! 3 huge bags! 

Moheda

Going to pick up my pair of clogs on a yellow rain day. It worths all my time as the shoes look really cute. 

They claim to be footwear crafted in Sweden since 1860

Loving this pair because they are not showing my toes. After being a mom, I don't have time to do manicure or pedicure...

The shape is cute. The lines are clean. They are made from leather and wood, two materials I adore. They are wearable art in my eyes.
