Bali, Indonesia (19-26 December 2009)

Celebrate my 1st Christmas in Bali

Gorgeous is 9m Old

Turning 9 months old today and hit my head twice..

At 9 months old, everything is fascinating to me and I love to explore.. Mummy says that is "kay poh".. I will looks at how mummy open and close the cabinet and when she walked away.. I will try touch it and I believe someday I will open it.. btw, I'm now on walker so I can move around freely.. but daddy and mummy keep saying "no, baby".. "cannot" to me whenever I found something really interesting (e.g. the plug, the remote control.. ) I will keep trying till they give in to me :)

My New Toy

We went to Daiso today and mummy pick up a toy for me..



Is only S$2.. value for money... haha!! :)

New Car Seat

I'm outgrowing the Maxi Cosi CabrioFix car seat so daddy got me a Maxi Cosi Tobi.. Mummy likes it very much as the height gives me a better view.. We are so lucky that the sales rep gives us a free summer cover and cup holder :)



I did a test drive yesterday..

Winnie the Pooh Sweet Dreams Lightshow

Daddy brought me an enchanting cot projector with amazing lightshow and projections featuring Winnie the Pooh & friends :)



Product details:

Two different modes, a sleep time mode and a wake up mode ensure baby winds down when being put in the cot and re-assure baby once she is waking up.

Sleep time mode: moving projections on ceiling/dome and three lullabies gently soothe baby and help her to wind down. When parents press the characters’ heads cute snoring sounds remind baby that it’s time to go to sleep.

Voice activation mode in sleep time mode: once baby is upset and crying, the lightshow and lullabies will start off to settle baby back to sleep.

Wakeup mode: Lovely projections of Winnie the Pooh and his friends are revealed on the dome. The Winnie the Pooh theme tune and two other wake up songs re-assure baby when she is waking up. Parents can press the characters’ heads which will trigger a cute yawn and giggle sound.

Additional parent activated push buttons will trigger bird singing and bee buzzing sounds.

5 minutes/10 minutes duration and auto shut-off..

Gorgeous is 8m Old

I'm 8 months old today..

At this stage, I'll start to develop at my own pace and mummy has promised that she will not participate in baby olympics and start comparing the accomplishments.. She is going to let me grow up as a happy baby..

Don't forget Einstein didn't talk until he was four years old :)

A Discovery

Mummy had a big discovery this morning..

Gorgeous is teething.. and mummy gives me a mission to bite JL yiyi :) cos JL yiyi bite mummy when she was a baby.. Mummy waited for 35 years and finally she can take revenge now :P

I need to practice so I can fulfill my 1st task.. and Mummy, who can I use for practice? Daddy??

Gorgeous is 7m Old

Time flies.. I'm 7m old.. Mummy been complaining about me.. She feels that I'm out of control as I can flip and sit.. I refused to lie down.. I flip when she dress me.. I flip when she change my diaper.. She wish that I'm a newborn and my movement is under her control ;P

My new hobby is to bring myself to feet.. Mummy says I've strong leg but she is worry about the weight of my body.. as I might ended up as a shorty next time.. I can stand with mummy's help.. as long as I hold on to a bar or mummy's hand.. I can stand (bouncing).. hehe!!

I'm in the stage of exploring.. so I love to watch, listen and grab anything that is around me.. once I found a target, I make sure I go for it and if mummy stop me.. I will CRY out loud..

Finally I've started on solid and tried apple, banana, pumpkin, rice cereal, juice..

Preparation for Feeding

In preparation for the big day, my first taste to solid..

Daddy and mummy got me a nestle rice cereals stage 1, combi travel spoon with case, stay-put suction bowls and snack catcher..


Mummy is going to start me off with rice cereal and slowly adding fruits and vegetable to my cereals :P


These bowls come in 3 different size (S,M,L) and with suction base.. so no more flying, tipped over bowls and this will help me to learn to eat by myself..


Snack catcher - it keeps the snack in the container and will not spill on the floor or car seat.. I probably can use at a later stage...

My next step - pacifiers with unique glow in the dark handle and BPA-free for 6-18 months old..
