Home :p

Amidst the chatter and laughter and sometimes bickering (yes that does happen at times) .. The girls and I enjoy being at home too during the school holidays. It gives them time to rest and play at home. I get to relax too.

An evening stroll

Went down to town 2 nights ago with the girls. We had dinner there and proceeded to do some shopping and then take in the Christmas lights. It's really very pretty. The girls enjoyed themselves .. Except Charlotte of course who progressively looked fed up of being stuck in her pram. Lol. Poor baby. We also stopped for ice cream on the way back so that really made the girls happy. Thank goodness for the Macdonald's kiosk outside Lucky Plaza. I managed to get an iced mocha as well!

Got home at about 10 or so. We haven't covered all of Orchard so we will be doing this again soon.

Sleeping Beauty ... NOT!

Ah yes. Every single time I'm out shopping, I pray Charlotte will behave ie just sit in her pram quietly. Actually, I want her to sleep. Sleep the whole outing through. That would be awesome. I would be able to eat in peace, shop in peace, have coffee and cake in peace and chat w my friend in peace.

But that is not the case unfortunately. Most times, she needs to eat (duh) or just generally be awake. Apparently, babies DON'T sleep 3/4 of the day. Whoever told you that babies will sleep almost all day was lying. You'd think I know better it being my 5th time around doing this baby thing and all but apparently not. Hope lies everlasting. Either that or I'm just plain old dumb. Haha! Or senile. Most likely both. *sigh*

So check out our photos from our Vivocity outing today after church. See her unhappy little face at being dumped into her Phil and Teds stroller. Blardy thing cost me 1k. And she bawls after awhile in it cos she'd rather I carry her. In the $45.90 sling. The problem with that is that my body feels like breaking from her weight (she's almost 10 kg or more I think) after awhile. I'd rather she bawl in the stroller. Lol. At least my 37.5 year old body won't suffer.

Let me look through Groupon for a body massage offer now. Lol.

Parteeee!

Stella's charming and cute boy, Evan, turned 3 last weekend and we were invited to his party at Amazonia in Great World City mall. Truly, it is one of the nicest indoor play systems I've been to. I haven't been to the one at Marina Bay Sands yet though :p

The girls had an awesome time. As did I. I sat and chatted with my mommy friends. And we ate.  And watched the kiddies play. Claudia was with Calista and the other 2 so I knew they were all playing safe.

It was a "Toy Story" themed party so Evan was dressed in his favourite character, Woody. He looked really cute !!

Walking steadily now

Charlotte took her first steps at about 9.5 months and now a month later, she can toddle along pretty steadily :)

Happy 3rd Birthday, Calista

I was sick as hell last week. And I also realized that I had arranged to go to a friend's place on Calista's birthday. No matter, I thought. It was a good friend and I was going to bring the girls anyway .. So I wanted to buy a cake and have Calista blow out the candles there so we could all have cake for tea. Little did I know .. My friend had out up birthday banners and balloons and insisted on buying the cake. We almost wrestled in front of the shop. Haha. Anyway, she's a sweetie. I was frankly still quite weak from the flu so I really couldn't much aside from getting a cake for the little girl.

The girls had a swell time at her place. As did I. Tracey and I can yabber on and on and not get bored. Lol.

Prata time!

Attended a friend's party last night at the NSRCC chalets at Changi. Man, I detest driving there. It's rather far away and a chore to get to. Lol. But for my friend, I went. Haha! She had gotten catering from a prata company so the girls were thrilled to have prata for dinner.

In other news .. Claudia got her PSLE results yesterday! She got 4 As! So relieved for her. Lol.

Everywhere ..

You can feel Christmas coming. And it's our favourite time of the year. Yesterday, the girls and I went down to Ikea to have a look around and buy a few things. Actually, the girls don't enjoy going to Ikea much cos they find that there is nothing much to see there (ie no big ass toy dept) .. But of course we went anyway and had meatballs for tea. Lol :p they were happy.

Time flies and Charlotte is now 10 months old!!

And the school holidays have begun! Yay! Hubby left for the States for work so before he left we went to renew our family zoo membership. Then walked around a bit there.

These boots were made for walking

So the little girl is 9 and a half month old now. And she's taken her first few steps !! Awesome ya?! She is a bubbly, smiley little girl.

Will post that video of her walking when I can.

But of cos ..

Yes, so I've pretty much given up on trying to feed Charlotte rice cereal. Or any kind of baby food that is in a powder form that requires hot water and/or formula to reconstitute to form a porridge like consistency. The girl hates it. And she can smell it a mile away. And refuse to eat it.

Sigh.

So once again (yes, this has happened 4 times before) .. I am back to buying Heinz baby food in jars. She also loves Rafferty's Garden. That is some good stuff man .. And the packaging is wonderful. Those metallic foil type pouches .. So easy to carry around. And I don't even need a bowl. I just squeeze it straight onto a spoon thanks to their unique spout system! I sure am taking motherhood to new heights (or new lows .. whichever) ... Lol ! She loves the breakfast range which is rice cereal mixed with fruits. And also the smoothies - as a snack after lunch or dinner. So easy !!!

If u have a little one, I highly recommend Rafferty's Garden !!
