I’m sitting here thinking I should really work on my next blog post for Kimba’s Kitchen due on Friday. Yes, I have deadlines for my other blog! On here, it’s more relaxed and no pressure to come up with content week after week… and yet I find myself not only blogging each week, but sometimes I blog a few times a week! I suppose it is a lot easier to just blog about life in general when you’re living it, and of course to write about your one and only child who pretty much consumes all of your thoughts, energy … Continue reading This is me procrastinating…

Last week, Micah was scheduled to go to his 8-month Maternal & Child Health (MCH) appointment at our usual MCH centre… let’s just call our usual place Centre A. Unfortunately I was very sick last week so I had to call to reschedule my appointment. Unfortunately, due to the massive baby boom in the area (everyone’s having kids these days) Centre A was fully booked and the only time available was 6 weeks away.. that won’t work for an 8-month check up when he is 8 months old NOW! So I told the lady on the phone that I was … Continue reading Week 37: 8-Month Review

“My Daddy Rocks” and “Mummy’s Little Rockstar”… love it! The start of this week wasn’t great. I was down with a nasty bug that left me feeling run down, killer headaches and mild fevers. I couldn’t handle looking after Micah at 5.30am when he would normally wake up and his multiple night feeds. Thankfully, my amazing husband worked from home on Monday and looked after him in the morning so I could sleep and rest, and later that day hubby’s parents came over and helped look after Micah while I went to the doctor’s.  Later that night, Micah slept the … Continue reading Week 36: New Videos, Sick Mum, Happy Boy.

We all know I already take way too many photos of my boy Micah. Seriously, I don’t know any other parent who is obsessed with taking photos of their child more than I am. It’s ridiculous really, but I know someday I will be so glad I took this many photos of him… he grows up so quickly that he looks different every single week and I know looking back I will be glad I captured all those different stages of him looking different and doing different things. A few weeks ago at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, I decided to … Continue reading Obsessed with Photos Much?

TEETH! (Excuse the casserole face) My baby boy is officially 8 months old tomorrow. Oh my time really flies! My mum has gone back to Malaysia on Sunday night, and Monday was a real struggle for me. Micah seems a bit grumpier than usual in the morning, possibly because that’s when he usually spends the most time with my mum (while I catch up on some sleep). He was a lot happier in the afternoon though, he had an hour nap in his cot and woke up, and I snuggled with him on the couch and we both slept for … Continue reading Week 35: 8 Months Old

Micah doesn’t have any issues eating solids. Just before he was 6 months old, I’ve introduced him to finger food solids to chew on and to explore different tastes and textures. A month later, I began giving him a combination of finger foods (for learning and exploring) as well as mashed up veggies or pumpkin and potatoes for actual eating. Another month later, Micah is fully capable of feeding himself solid, chopped up fruit (non pureed) and actually eating and swallowing 95% of it. He no longer makes a huge mess on the floor, and whilst there will still be a bit of mess on his high chair, … Continue reading Rafferty’s Garden Baby Food
