Krystal's first solid - Rice Cereal

Decided to gave the lil gem her first solid to try out today.
Bought Bellamy's 4mth Organic baby rice after recommendations from the SeptMTB2012 mummies.
It's $6.30 per pack gotten from Agapebabies.

Why did I decide to start her this early?
Well, mother's instinct told me that she needed more den milk and since she's on full FM, its good to give her other form of nutrients beside FM.
Its also to train her early to swallow her food.



We gave her 1 small spoonful of rice cereal mixed with warm water.
The reason, if we added too much FM, she might in future reject her FM.

A small spoonful is to try her out, teach her to swallow the cereal.

So far, she is enjoying her daily lil snacks and will proceed to give her more!

We will be testing out by the 4 days rule to see any allergy and stuffs!
Hope to test out some "Real" food soon!

Krystal's first swim spa

Brought the lil gem to Babies can Swim located at Punggol Plaza.
We bought the deal voucher at only $15 for a trial session swim.
Booked the appointment at 1.30pm and we was almost late for it. Reached around 1pm and the place only have 1 baby swimming in the pool..
Changed the lil one down to her swimpants and she started her lil exercise.
After the exercise, have to put on the neck float before she "jump" to the water!
The moment she is in the water, she swims like a pro! Everyone thought that she is already a "pro" but the real fact is that, it was her very first time.
She swam for almost 15mins and din wan to get out of the water. But as it was her first time, wasnt really recommended to stay in the pool for so long. (and before forgetting, she was already in the big pool instead of the small pool for new starters!)
Called out to her to say time to get out, she swam away.. thats funny.
After carrying her out, she was brought out to have another round of exercise and full body massage.
She cried after knowing its time to go home!

After feeding her with her milk, she was so sleepy after tat.. slept for quite long hrs in the car.

Headed off to MIL place after tat!
Home sweet home at 9plus!


Lil gem happily playing in the pool!

Back to work!

After a long absent from work, am like finally back to work.
Supposingly to go back on the 24th Dec 2012, but I have to clear my Childcare leave too. So all added up and was called back on 2nd Jan 2013.
A new year to start off my new day of work~

Same route, same bus but it seems so stranger to me somehow. Haven been on the same route, same bus for more den 3 months and now I am back to work.

I thought I would be missing my lil gem but I was coping well at work! I thought I would have forgotten how to go about on my work but after a few reviews, I am all ready to start! Time passed quite fast for the first day and in a blink of eyes, I am ready to off work to my mum's place to fetch my lil gem!
Although she still does not know how to welcome me home, I could feel her happiness of me reaching out to her when I saw her.

This marks my first day of work after a long hiatus! Ganbatte everyone!
