When it rains, it pours : Baby fell again!

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

. So you know Caleb fell off the bed. That was last Friday. Yesterday I got a call from Hot Mummee, telling me that Caleb's fallen again. This time it was because the bouncy hammock spring snapped.

Baby fell off the bed!

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

. So he's coming up to 6 months old already. He can prop himself up temporarily and hold his head up, looking for whatever caught his eye earlier, or looking for something to look at. He's only been able to roll from his back to his front. Or so we thought. Last Friday night, ...

Don’t just backup your photos! Backup videos too!

. This is a little-bit-techie post... You know I like taking photos of the kids. I also like taking videos of them in action: Those first steps, the changing look(s), them in action in the walker / tricycle / simply playing, their vocab, changing the voice. I sometimes find myself in a ...

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Given my enjoyment in putting this up with Caitlin, & despite it taking as long & as much of my lung capacity as it did, I think I will also enjoy trying out this craft for her. I have left a message on the author's blog whether I could plagiarise her ...

It took up my whole living room!

Take a break from baby

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

One of the essential items parents of newborns need is a baby monitor. We got ours from Toys 'R Us, at RM179. It wasn't the cheapest nor the dearest, but we thought it would serve our needs. Inside the packaging are the baby unit, parent's unit, & an AC adapter. Both units ...

Baby cot or early bed?

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Recently I had decided it was time for Caitlin to "move on" to another stage of her young life. As with all babies & toddlers, all this while we have had to carry her on & off her cot, over the protective barrier that, obviously, keeps her from rolling / falling ...
