After so long, finally I told myself that it is time for me to get some freedom and catch a nice movie. Of course, Baby Chloe is not restricting my freedom, I was the one who worried too much. My mum and my maid are absolutely capable of taking care of Baby Chloe in the night without me.
Well, nothing much to say about Avatar. A good movie with good graphics and very very good imagination. Storyline is nothing to shout about – quite similar to Pocahontas.
Last night was a good night. A good movie, A good relax, A good present from Papa (THANK YOU!), A goodnight sleep for Baby Chloe, A good night for Mama too. :P
BYE BYE 2009!!!
I have just read an article about spending more with our children as they are growing fast and before you know it, they will be building their own nest, leaving you etc etc.
I am not particularly worried about my child leaving us, because I know Papa & Mama will be Baby Chloe’s parent forever and ever. This is a fact that undeniable. But, I totally agree with spending more time with them.
Baby Chloe is growing every day. She is picking up more and more vocabulary and emotion expression from our everyday life. She is able to say “Apple” now (BUT NOT MAMA YET!)!!
She is imitating every single action that she can pick up from everyone of us in the family. She is so cute! Last night, she picked up the Elmo and started patting the Elmo backs and said “ ahh…” – She was trying to put the Elmo to sleep with some warm patting & soft singing. LOVE YOU SO SO MUCHIE! :P
I wanted to do a plan for Baby Chloe’s everyday meals since long time ago, but I was delaying (:P because I was lazy). But due of ONE stupid food poisoning incident, and I had made up my mind that it is a MUST for me to do something about it. I used to think Baby Chloe should expose to a variety of food (I am still) and should be able to eat anywhere, any food that is available. But after the food poisoning incident and all these news about “unapproved contents” in those canned food, pesticides etc etc etc.. It is making me real worried. Further to that, I have heard too many disease around. I am not too sure whether what I am doing now will guarantee her the best of health but I told myself at least I am trying my best.
I have been carried out this Meal Plan since 2 weeks ago, and this is the third week. I would like to share it out and hopefully anyone who read my blog can also make some suggestion if something is wrong as I have not really read anything about planning meals for my Baby. Please advise if you can. Thanks Thank! :P
MEAL PLAN
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Porridge Choices (No Salt, either cook plain/ with ikan billis (once a week)/ with Lean Pork(Once a week).
Fruits/ Veggie
Juices
Yogurt
Bread/Bun
Snacks
This is so far I have done. I am just repeating these for these 3 weeks. If anyone feels that there is an imbalance of nutrient or there is something that I should also introduce to my baby, it would be very nice of you to advise me to improve it. :P
** This is a guide for myself only, Baby Chloe does not necessarily complete the whole of the meal plan list especially Saturday & Sunday when we bring her out. If it is available, those fruits/steamed veggie/ Juice in the afternoon, I will replace it with Baby Biscuit or None at all. :P
Wow! I didn’t realise Baby Chloe enjoys Gymboree Play Class so much. I am feeling really really bad that I have missed so many of her class previously. Sorry, Darling!!
As usual, we always missed the class @2pm. We were having lunch with my family at Kampachi and we could not make it. I thought since we cannot make it @2pm, why not go to the one @4.45pm. So, we went!
When we arrived Gymboree, the music was already playing and all the other babies were already there ready for the class. The moment Baby Chloe joined the circle of babies, she happily stood up and moved her hands along with the “Gymboree song”.
It was a regret that I didn’t bring my camera and Papa never bring his VideoCamera. Sob Sob Sob. What a waste.
Baby Chloe was so adorable yesterday in the class, she did a few things that surprised both of us and made us really happy too :-
(1) Tunnel : She never likes crawling through the tunnel for some reasons. Yesterday, she kept looking for a tunnel and cross from Point A to Point B, then Point B back to Point A. She repeated it so many times until we told her “STOP, Let’s play with other setups!” Wow….
(2) Friends : She never really go to other babies and start interacting. Maybe she was too young to do so. But this time round, she went to the middle of the circle, and start making friends by poking (I hope she did it SOFTLY) other babies’ nose (We taught her “Nose” by pointing at her nose all the times, I guess that’s how she picked it up!). She was acting a little naughty tapping Baby Marissa’s head. I was shocked and quickly stopped her from doing so. *Phew* Luckily Baby Marissa did not cry :P I didn’t scold Baby Chloe because I think she didn’t know it was a naughty act. I think she was just trying to play “aiya” with her friends (She picked it up from her Papa. Whenever her Papa said Aiya pain here and pain there with his hand on his head, Baby Chloe just loves it and starts laughing at his Papa. – So, “Aiya” is associated to Fun and tapping Head) But I told Baby Chloe, “ NO, You will hurt your friend. Don’t do it anymore” I hope she understands what I said to her.
(3) Instructor : She was always very scared of strangers and never want to let strangers hold her (even her grandparents even though they are not stranger!!!). At the end of the class, Baby Chloe suddenly walked towards the instructor and lifted her hands up asking for a “carry”. OMG. We were both looking at each other with a “huh” look. Then, the instructor picked her up and did the “heap heap horray” lift (I suppose to do it and the instructor suppose to demo it with the Gymbo Clown Soft-toy). After the class ended, we let Baby Chloe walked around and she followed the instructor and said “bubbles” (Ya, she is able to pronounced “bubbles” very well, and she LOVES bubbles). Haha…she knows where to get bubbles, and the instructor happily blew out some bubbles to satisfy a little one’s request. Wow…My girl starts to request for “things”, and she knows whom she should approach.
It was indeed a WONDERFUL Gymboree Day!
