More Like a Mommie Now...

I woke up at 7am to go to the wet market with Rina this morning. The last time I went was when I was 9 months pregnant. And now Keira is already 9 months. :P

I have a weekly meal planner now, guess why? Because I'll start working in Subang, a place where I'm very familiar with, therefore... I know where to find all kinds of food. So, I make a decision to stick to what I've planned (or at least something close to what I planned :P). Furthermore, I really think as a good wife, I should try cook healthier food for my hubby (at least on the weekend). And I'm gonna try more variety in cooking Keira's food too.

So far, Keira loves to eat porridge. Usually I add chicken or beef + carrot or sweet potato or pumpkin + spinach or brocolli. The smell of beef porridge is the best!!! it smells so yummy. This weekend I'll try fish + carrot or pumpkin. Oh ya, she likes egg yolks too! One of her fav food! Probably I'll try to cook her barley in few weeks time, or oatmeals should be good too! =D

Life of a mom is fun and exciting! Love it to the max!

When I Have to Bring Her to Work

Sometimes I have no other option but to bring Keira to work with me! Out of 8 hours in the store, I think I could really work for only 2 hrs. Few things that I did:

Bribe her with food... I know this is not recommended by the experts. But but... how?
When she was bored with her own toys, I would give her whatever I had to distract her... (would keep an eye to supervise her though)
more food would give me few more mins of silence...
hush.... sleep my baby... so that mommie could focus on work...
i forgot to take the pics while other staff were playing with her...

When closing the store, I had to carry her together with the walker/stroller/car-seat to the car... then carried her back to the store to get the rest of the stuff... and then locked the door and "shutter" while carrying her. For one moment, I thought I was quite a supermom!

Love, Hug, Kiss...

When She is Quiet, This is What I Mean...

As mentioned earlier, when eating... sometimes Keira is very "guai" and didn't move much... but she still looks busy... as always....

Macam Macam

You know... when someone has lots of patterns, or expressions, we like to say "macam macam ah you..."
Haha... that's what I always tell Keira... "baby.. you macam macam ar..."
As she is growing, she has more and more expressions. I didn't manage to capture most of them (and i accidentally deleted one more pic)... but here's some of the remaining...

And even when she is eating, she has so many sitting posture, standing posture, and sometimes she would just be contented & happy enjoying the food and din move much :)

I scolded her for trying to stand while eating (but it's actually my fault, why didn't I fasten the seat belt at the first place?) so.... after getting scolded, she would show me how unhappy and sad she is...


Can't imagine when she starts talking, she will surely be a super duper kepoh and bubbly baby.

Oh ya before I end this blog...
Daddy bought a vest with hoodie, a tee shirt (din let her wear here) and a denim skirt for her :) she looks so cute on them...the vest is a lil bit too big though... *giggle*

I missed the timing (when she was smiling and ready for camera), this is when she started to get impatient...

Many Things Have Happened

Many good and bad things have happened throughtout this week.

The good thing is Keira has totally recovered *YAY* and we just gave her influenza vaccination today. She is quite tall, 71cm now. But her weight has been around 7.5kg, today she is 7.4kg. But the doctor said it's very good, nothing to worry about. Ideal weight. Another thing that really makes my day is what the doctor has been saying everytime we see him. Keira's social skill is very very good (above average). He was so surprised when Keira called Papa just now, and the fact that she can wave bye-bye pleased the doctor too.

Keira didn't cry during the jab. She showed her dislike-expression of course, but right after the jab, she smiled, babbled, played.. she was just happy! :)

Another good thing is, I'm changing job on September. Not that I don't like my job now, but the other job allows me to do more things. I'm quite restricted now, due to the work location. I'm excited about what I can do in the future. The fact that I can lead CG, have Bible study, involve more in ministry, fetch Keira earlier ;) and also be in the same office as my hubby hehehe...

The bad thing that happened ler... *sigh* it is kinda sad to see people that I love drawing back from serving God. It bothered me so much, but nothing much I can do. I tried my best. But it makes me realize that there are still sooo many people that I need to take care, it's a lesson learned.

End of this year I'll be travelling to Taiwan. Did you see any news lately? The typhoon and mudslides convince me that I shouldn't bring Keira with me. So she will either be with my MIL, Auntie Linda or my mom. After that I'll go to Korea, again won't be bringing her. Have important meetings over there. Then end of Jan we will have staff retreat to Hanoi. This trip baby will come along. *Yippie*

Eeeee.... Daddy's First Time....

Daddy has no choice but to clean and change my nappy after I poo poo...

:D


Books for The Next 2-3 Months

As you guys have read, Keira has not been so well these few weeks, so instead of just reading thru the internet, I bought a book by Dr.Miriam Stoppard. I bought one babycare book by the same author when I was pregnant, and it was quite good.
Actually there's one more book, which is very thick, by the same author, also about childhood illnesses and the treatment, but that one costs too much. So I bought this one, only RM33.95.


Besides, I also bought a book by my favourite author, Dale Carnegie. RM31.90 only.

Hopefully it's as good as the other one that I bought... "How to Win Friends & Influence Them"


It's time to enhance my parenting skills again :) Bought this fabulous copy... Sold more than 3,500,000 and it has been one of the best selling book for 20 years. I'm expecting a lot from this book... RM45.50.
