Home Alone- Mission Accomplished!

If you remember i was abit nervous abt being Home alone with my son while po po is on the cruise. Well, it turned out ok! Actually more than ok. I managed to sleep while he sleeps and do my house work, chop chop within 1 hour of his nap. With Yee yee's help, i even prepared dinner for the 5 of us that's left at home! Day 1 dinner was good: Roast duck ( bought by yee yee) and vegie soup! The expensive Duck ($32 from marine parade mkt) was good. On Day 2, we had Wanton+ Char siew noodle. but on day 3, we all ate out and po po came back.

During these 3.5 days, i manage to bond better with my baby son. It felt special.. I dun really know how to describe that feeling... but i know tat i love him more. Am actually looking forward to caring for him full time starting May, when baby Sara is out! Can't wait for her to come out too!

Home Alone 0.5

Picture taken wearing that 'forbidden' romper.. lol

Today, i had a 'preview' of what to expect when my mom moves out in may... being home n almost alone (today is Sunday n darby is around) cos my mom went on the cruise n will only be back on wed evening. It was both exciting and at the same time.. scary.

Usually on a typical day, with my mom around, my baby will wake up at abt 7.30am. i'll feed him milk and bring him over to my mom's place at 8am. Than i'll express milk, bring the required bottles of milk over, play with him for a while and will go sleep by 10am. I'll wake up at abt 2- 2.30pm, express milk, have my lunch, rush to do my housework and have a bath. I'll try to finish everything by 5pm so that i can bring my baby back as my mom needs to cook dinner. From 5pm onwards, it's my 'shift duty' to take care of him. LOL

I'll bring him back n we'll read or watch educational dvds or that disney for kids channel till abt 6.30pm before we go for our walk. By 6.30, if i dun get out of the house, Tristan will usually fuss n get really difficult. We'll walk around Bedok Central till abt 8pm than will go back for dinner. At 9pm i'll put my baby to sleep and usually by 10- 10.30pm, after expressing milk, i'll have some free time... my R&R time!

Today, my schedule jus went haywire. for example, i tried to put him on the Jumperoo, turn on the Chinese song DVD for kid for him to watch while i do house work but that failed badly. He cried non stop, i felt so bad so had to stop everything n carry him. Finally manage to put him to sleep to continue but he only slept for 20 mins n woke up.. house work not finished yet! haiz.. Had to ask darby to help.

I need to plan my time better tomorrow. Dun wan a repeat again cos after these few days of 'trial', i'll have to manage the actual thing in May when my mom moves out. Keeping my fingers crossed :P

3 Cheers for Yee yee!

Yee Yee bought a Fisherprice rainforest Jumperoo for my baby and Sara on sat. And ever since than, we are having a jumping good time everyday!

At 1st he was not used to it and couldn't sit in it for long but after a few days of trying, he realised that he could do his favorite new skill--- JUMP.. JUMP.. JUMP! So now he is training his little legs by jumping up n down while Mummy n popo take a break from carrying him! Thrumbs up for yee yee! and a must buy for all tired Mummies amd grandmas!

My Baby has been drinking more during each feed now and he's also sleep longer on most nights. Now he goes to bed by 10pm and only wakes up at 1pm and 4pm for his feed. :P Hopefully, he'll be able to sleep thru soon!

Thank you, Daddy!!!

Today, The Chuas, the Wangs and the Ongs had a very nice Tim sum branch at Tong Lok Paramount hotel. The food is really yummy man! As usual, we had our catch up + gossiping session! Although there were 31/2 under 18s there, we still managed to tune to the Ahem.....P.O.R.N Channel!... all thanks to Steven Yi Jong!!! LOL

After the Branch, we went to parkway n Darby bought a Lime Green Bumbo chair for Tristan n Sara! we were so excited we went home to immediately try it n he likes it. Thank You daddy, now we are ready for our 1st meal of solids in 11/2 mths time! hee hee

*Oh, I need to especially mention that it was Steven Yi Jong who recommended us the Bumbo Chair ;P Thank you Yi Jong!!!!

Preserving these precious moments!

I've been Motivated to frame up my baby's photos so started this new project decorating the frames. I wanted to capture n keep these precious moments before my baby grow up cos he's growing up too fast!

Bought the frame from Ikea, paper from Tampinese 1, stars from Spot light and took 2 nights to finish up this photo frame.
After that, i got so addicted and did another frame for me and Darby.. Frame also from Ikea, paper from Tampinese 1, Flowers from cherry blossom CNY deco (but i modified it a little).

Happy Tiger Year , Baby!

Chinese New year is usually a busy time for us but this year, it's quieter than usual. We only went to my grandma's grave on the 1st day and than my aunty's house on the 2nd day. I miss the noisy and busy days where we were ferried around visiting relatives. My cousins and i would be either playing in the home of relative or along the corridor. Gone were those day, as many of my cousins are overseas. We Miss You, those in Perth and Sydney! :(

Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!

This is my baby's 1st Chinese New Year! Happy New Year Baby! May you grow strong and healthy in the tiger year! Next CNY, we'll have a new member joining us! HUAT AH!!!!
