Adelle can crawl!

Adelle will only crawl when she is tempted with food. :P

Office cleaner

Yesterday morning, i heard a voice going around the cubicles saying this statement : "小姐/先生, 你好. 我 是 Mdm Tay. 今天第一天上班. " I turned around and saw a new aunty. She is really polite and can you imagine she repeated this statement > 20 times?!??! Really amazing that she can go around self-introduce and take pride in her job also. :)

It's been a long time that i see a polite cleaner liao. I still recall the cleaner in my previous company very "attitude" one. If she is in a bad mood, she will come in to the office banging here and there with the cups and plates. She will expect us to keep the pantry clean, put away all the used cups for her and wash the oily stuff if we have any party. Sometimes i wonder what is her job if she expect us to do this and that??? As she knock off at 6pm, she will take away all the cup by 5.30pm. Wah so it means we cannot drink water ah? Crazy rite? Anyway she scolded my ex-boss becos the bin is under his table and she demand him to bring it out. Then my ex-boss bey song and fire her loh!!! Well, i don't pity her cos if she has been more polite, this will not happen right?

Maybe there should be a cleaner award to motivate those who really do a good job. :)

Adelle in a BOX

My colleague has a similar box but it's a Pooh than Piglet. So when i was @ Popular yesterday, i decided to let Adelle try it out! Look at her funny face and she is trying to escape! :)

Princess is 9 months old on 16th Oct

My baby Adelle is 9mths! So what are her achievements @ 9mths? :)

1. She can clap!

2. She can drink from straw of mag mag cup!

3. She can do leopard crawl(1 day after 9mths)

4. She can say papa, mama and mum mum.

5. She likes to make funny faces

6. When i say the word "Uncle", she will turn her head to look outside facing the gate. This is because every nite my neighbour will reached home ard 9+pm and call Adelle "baby" whenever he see us in the living room. Then i will tell baby Adelle say "Hello Uncle". And now she can associates uncle = my neighbour

7. She can identify her friends - baby pooh bear and hippo whenever i asked her where is "pooh pooh" and "hippo". She can grab the correct ones and hug it with saliva. :P However, she still can't differentiate between the froggy and giraffe.

Tumble Tots class - 12th Oct

My colleague Meggie has been asking whether i am keen to try out classes for Adelle. Since I have a $10 voucher for Tumble Tots trial class so i told her let's bring the babies there! So i booked a trial class for Adelle and Kyden on 12th Oct. However, Kyden was having fever on-and-off that week, thus couldn't go for the trial. :(

Anyway, the class was at Tampines Sports Hall. It took us quite a while to find the entrance of the Sports Hall. We reached there at 10.45am whereby the class starts 10.30am.. Haiz... So baby adelle missed out the first part which is the warm up session. The babies there all look quite big and seemed like they are at least 10mths and above cause they are crawling very well and some are attempting to walk already. Btw, the trial class that I signed up is Gymbabes and it's for babies from 6th mth to walking.

While all the babies are busy exploring around, i tried to let Baby Adelle to walk in between the pole. However, the teacher found out that baby adelle can't even crawl so they told me to teach her to crawl first then walk. She emphasize to me the importance of crawling and say it trained the coordination between the hands, legs and head also. Thus, she brought me to a mat area and put a round booster to support adelle tummy. The teacher also told me to massage Baby adelle legs and knees often so that it won't be so stiff as Baby Adelle is on walker during weekdays. Then she put a stick infront of adelle and told us to roll it to attract baby adelle to use her hand to reach for it. Well, baby adelle was quite cooperative and tried to reach for the sticks. Then the teacher rolled Adelle and put her on kneeling down position. She say this is to train baby adelle to learn to support her weight using her knees wor. Anyway i think my baby hates the class cos she was in tears becos of the "torture"... hehehee..

At around 11.30am, the teacher gathered everyone and blow bubbles. I can see all the babies are very fascinated with the bubbles. Lastly, the class ended with a bye bye song and the teacher bring out stickers and the babies crawl towards her for the stickers?!?!? Wow i didn't know babies at this age already LOVE stickers. Hmm... I wonder if it works for my baby? I don't think so cause her greatest temptation is not stickers, toys but rather FOOD! Wahahhaaa... :P

Clap Clap!

Yes, finally after a few days of training to my princess. She started to clap, be it on her way to my parents' house in the morning or at night when she watch her favourite VCD - "Your Baby Can Ready". She will just clap spontaneously when we say "Clap Clap". But of cos there are times that this little pig doesn't perform as planned. :P

Aquaducks class - 11th Oct

After a long wait, finally we are going for the Aquaduck trial class @ Pines organised by Mei from SMH forum! :) I took the first slot ie 10am cos it's better to let my princess swim early in the morning then can take a longer nap @noon before going for church nursery class @ 4pm.

While on our way there, we packed MacDonald breakfast and ate in car. Yummy.. it's been a long time since i had MacDonald breakfast. :P When we reached the place, we were trying to locate the entrance to the swimming pool. * Very confusing *

It was a bright sunny day and all the babies looked very excited. Mei was very kind and gotton Huggies to sponsor our babies Huggies Little swimmer diaper. When i was in the midst of changing my princess, Victor (another dept colleague) walked over and say Hi to me. Singapore is really small cos his wife is also in the same SMH forum Jan thread as me. ;) His baby boy Benjamin was borned on 13th Jan and now weigh 10 kg! 1 more kg than my princess. *WOW*.

Soon it was 10am and the instructor gathered everyone, give a shorten briefing and off we hit the pool.

As usual, my princess loves the pool and enjoyed the lessons especially the part where she swim to chase the rubber froggy and performing stunt when the instructor swing her in the water. The instructor gave us some ideas on how to help babies to swim and to build their water confidence. Overall it was a good experience to learn and see my baby is a potential swimmer! :P

After we reached home, my darling KO until 2pm. It's been a long time that she takes a long afternoon nap on weekend.

Here's are some snapshots of the lesson. More picture will be posted in my FB. :)

Baby Day Out Event - 5th Oct

It was a bright sunny sunday!

We woke up @ 8am wondering if we should still go for the Baby Day Out event @ Hort Park. Since the weather looks good so we decided to go!

By the time we reached there, it was 9.30am cos we are not sure how to go there! Thank God that i have this good gadget call iphone which is preloaded with Google map + directions. So it managed to guide us from somewhere to Hort Park. ;)

It was a long queue at the carpark and we managed to get into it eventually. Seemed like a lot of people went and left early too. So we managed to find the event hall and collected the door gifts. Not bad leh cos got huggies pullup pants, kodomo shower gel, baby wipes, huggies hat and best of all - Nivea Silhoutte cream... hope it can help me to regain my waist line... :P

I think one of the main sponsor of the events must be huggies cos there is a huggies photo taking booth & huggies play tent at the lawn area. We put baby adelle inside the tent and she looks happy!

Then we proceed to queue up for balloon sculpting but I give up waiting cos super long queue and it's hot under the sun. So we decided to take a normal balloon and walk around the Hort Mart before going into the multipurpose hall for the fans & other activities! :P

Finally we took pictures @ the Huggies photo booth and with the lion @ Wyeth booth. :) After the photo session, we tot of walking around the park but who knows it rained suddenly wor. So we decided to leave after collecting the Huggies photo which takes about 45mins. It's printed from a HP photo printer and seemed like very slow leh compared to the canon photo printer that i saw during my friend daughter birthday party. :(

After we left, we went to eat roti prata that is near NUS. The prata ok only leh... i still like the crispy prata along thomson road. :P

Oh ya, to my surprise i also won a Gaia Baby Gift set worth $29.90 when i checked my mailbox on monday nite! :) I didn't expect to win prizes cos hubby say don't want to stay there to wait so we left at 11.30am. The draw was at 12.30pm and the registration guy say MUST be there to collect prize when i drop the form leh. Anyway doesn't matter as long as they decided to give me the gift but need to collect from mediacorp in techpoint - amk during office hours.... Hmm... far leh! ;)

Adelle First Children Day - 1st Oct

Princess Adelle celebrated her first children day with her friend Caleb. We wanted to let her play with Caleb and swim together as well. But by the time we reached Caleb house, he was in la-la land already so my princess proceed with her swimming session @ the pool downstair. It was 4pm and no one using the pool at all. So we have it all to our ownselves. Shoik! :P

The water was cold but no impact to her cos she was enjoying it as usual. :) This time round Daddy was in the pool with her. Since no one in the pool, they swim around the entire pool. Of cos, adelle using her favourite mushroom float to suppport her while daddy pushes behind.

After the swim, princess adelle mood swing...didn't want to finish her milk nor porridge too. Haiz waste my effort to cook loh... :( Anyway, she did enjoyed herself cos Caleb house has lotsa toys!! :)

Swing is FUN!

We were @ NTUC AMK hub and saw this Lucky Baby Swing. So I tot of letting my princess to try it out and see if she likes. Well see her expression and you'll know what she thinks!

It cost $39 (offer price) but we didn't buy cos the seat looks small and i bet she can only use it for another 2-3mths max so don't want to waste $ loh. :P
