“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

Doing the “Stay Home Mum” job all by yourself during the day can be tricky when your child is an active toddler who requires full supervision at all times. I’ve been blessed the past few weeks as my mum is staying with us and we could take turns looking after Micah while the other does some chores or has a shower, etc. As soon as my mum goes back to Malaysia this Sunday, I will be left all alone again during the day to juggle Micah, chores and getting enough sleep.  Whenever Micah is awake and active, and I just … Continue reading Week 34: Ball Pit
