Happy birthday!

Yeah! It's my birthday today. This year, no special delivery of flowers. Haha. Instead had breakfast with YC at Coffee Club in the morning. Arranged to meet my mum and kids for dinner this evening. Yesterday, told Cherylin that it's mummy's birthday on the next day. Hope she remembers to wish me Happy Birthday when I see her later in the evening :)

Playdate for Shawn (18 Oct 08)

We went for a playdate for babies last Sat. It was held at Jaslyn's place. All in all more than 10 babies turned up for the playdate. So happy cos i could just place Shawn on the bumper mat for him to entertain himself with the toys, while i munch away. hahaha.. It's Cherylin who kept me busy, kept waiting me to accompany her to the bumpermat to play/watch the babies play. Strangely, Shawn started to clap after that Sat afternoon. And he repeated it many times. Find it so cute. Wonder who he learnt the clapping from?

Tiger Food Jar

Bought the food jar months before i delivered. Finally got around to trying it out two weeks ago. 1st time i cooked rice with the jar. It really worked! 2 hours later, ta dah, the rice is cooked at 2pm. Can even keep warm till 12 midnite (YC worked till very late that day so he had his dinner only at 12 midnite).

The 2nd time, i tried cooking porridge. More of teo chew porridge then those nua nua kind for baby as i only cooked for 2 hours. Recommended time is 4 hours for porridge. Shall try again to see if i can get those really nua porridge.

Conclusion: good investment - save electricity, convenient to use especially when going out. :)

Shawn's developments

Standing with support
Abt 3 wks ago, Shawn could pull himself to stand when inside the cot. He was closed to 8mths then. Am quite worried abt him standing as the cot is not at the lowest level yet. Kept telling YC to lower the cot but still not done yet :p

Crawling
Yday mum was saying that Shawn can crawl very well when on bed. He had showed that he could crawl weeks ago. Just that i didn't let him to be on floor for fear of him knocking his head onto the hard floor. Decided to let Shawn try out today after wat mum has said. True enuf, he is able to crawl n didn't knock his head on the floor :)

Talking
I always wave bye bye to Shawn before going to work/going back home. Yday, heard Shawn saying Bye bye twice. It was loud n with gesture included.
