the melodramatic mouse is now mellomom
Finally after months of “patience” waiting, Eli finally said Mama this morning — been babbling many other sounds and non stop Dada since September – and she just can’t stop saying mama mama since *swoon* It was 8.05am and Nate was all set for school. I was clearing up his toys on the floor at [...]
The Genius Feeder? Feeder Set, Food Sac and Scissors My Verdict: I saw this feeder sometime back before Eli was born and I was sold to the idea. Nate used a similar feeder by Sassy Baby but uses a mesh bag and that got stained easily. I liked this better as it was silicone – [...]
My baby girl has started solid. I can’t believe that and today she is turning 7mo! We didn’t begin solids on the dot — was procrastinating and a little daze — but a little over 6 months. Ideally avocado was my first choice for its wholesome goodness. Unfortunately Eli didn’t think so, just like her [...]
Eli is Daddy’s little princess. Eli is Daddy’s little mini me. Eli giggles out loud when Daddy calls her name. So it wouldn’t be such a surprise to hear her very first word is Da Da ♥ Earlier around 8pm while the husband and I was seated on the couch exhausted — Nate was high [...]
Unlike last year when the decision was automatic, we only decided to have a party for Natey’s 2nd birthday a few weeks back. What started out to be a simple celebration — over pizzas and a cake — between few friends and family turned a little fanciful when we included Disney’s Cars as the theme. [...]

20 May 2011We are finally at this stage of researching for the “right” formula milk. Although I am still breastfeeding 3-4x and expressing 1x a day, I know my supply is quickly depleting and I need to hurry up to introduce cow’s milk to Nate before he rejects the taste totally. The boy doesn’t like liquids other [...]

5 May 2011Natey was 8mo when he first showed signs of teething. That was when I began familiarizing him about oral hygiene by massaging his gums twice daily. We started with the silicone finger toothbrush. It fits perfectly in my index finger and I could feel where I am brushing. Natey really enjoyed the experience and gets [...]

23 Apr 2011Among all the milestones that Natey has achieved to date, speaking would definitely beats everything else hands down. It is the beginning of real communication if not attempting to. I especially love it when he runs into my arms laughing and calling me all together ♥ I will never forget the first time I heard [...]

1 Apr 2011For the first 2 months of introducing new foods to Natey, he “enjoyed” everything at its purest (taste) in forms of purees. By 8mo it was time to add a little rice — we are Asians after all — and introduce meat to the menu. That’s how I started cooking porridge for him everyday. Meal [...]

14 Mar 2011Measuring at 10.5 inches on all four sides, this blue plastic tub has come a long way since last year. At 2 months old, Natey fitted comfortably for his daily bubble bath. Today, he’s more than overflowing *hehe* Plenty of space for Two Mommy, won’t you join me in here? Just enough for One Mommy, [...]
