Cerisi red jacket

Went to BHG Bugis with mum and baby K, shopped at the kid's department yesterday. i always wanted to get a jacket for baby K and was so happy that mum found this - Cerisi red jacket. there are two colours to choose - red and pink, i've chose the red one.

baby K wear it immediately after i made the payment. haha...

after that we went to a shanghai restaurant for lunch.

another purchase for my baby

yesterday i had a gathering with my sec school mates at Bugis - seoul garden for lunch. we had our lunch from 1pm to 6pm, we were there talking and taking turns to ferry baby K around the shopping mall. in between i need to nurse baby K every two hours.

the nursing room was at level 3 - kids department and was tempted to buy more clothings for baby K.

after the lunch which was around 6pm, i headed back to the kid's department and brought some clothings and a mini clip fan for my baby. it was on a 20% discount.

mickey mouse collections was on 3 for $18 offer, i thought it was a good deal and the mickey mouse design looks good to me.

this M size cute little shirt was found on a mix and match rack. $3.90 only.

This romper was at $26, but was on sale at $6. it came together with a hat, i guessed it was S size, too tiny for baby K to wear.

candy girl romper at $6 each.

total damaged: $49.80

Baby Care Festival at Expo 2010

yesterday i went to the Expo Baby Care Festival (with MIL, SIL, her 3 kids and 2 babies) as baby K was selected for the semi final for Baby Idol Contest under the sweetest smile category. i am so proud of her.

we reached there around 11.45am, it was my first time to baby fair. i went to the counter near the stage to register. there was a briefing at 12.30pm. i turned up at 1.30pm instead as i was nursing baby K, and at the same time she was a little sleepy therefore she had a very very short nap.

after the contest, i walked around the fair. before coming to this fair, i had a list of items to look for and wanted to buy, but then i missed every single bit of it :(

purchased 2 rompers (size: 12-18 months) and a copy of April issue - Mother and Baby magazine. (which was not on my to-do-list)

2 for $10. it looks comfortable.

Taka baby fair 2010

baby k got her child visa and she can go to australia indefinitely till 2015. how cool is that...

bring baby k to Australian High Comm on fri 12.3.10, to collect her visa sticker. it was a 5 mins job but we stayed for around 20 mins to enjoy the aircon. it was hot outside.

since i was in town, i decided to take a cab and bring baby k to the Taka baby fair and have a look. it was my first time to baby fair. i did not want to make a fuss, therefore hand carried her for almost 5 hours. when i reached home, my arm muscle was so sore. it was tiring yet nice.

i was looking/aiming to purchase a sling/pouch to carry baby k around, instead of hand carrying her and there was a booth selling it. she looked professional. she asked for baby k to be her model and baby k was happy with it, she smiled. everyone was so happy, i think she probably drew a few customers or business for her. when it was my turn to try out, baby k rejected. immediately, i knew i m not buying it, coz if i buy it, i will not know how to adjust it.

i enjoyed shopping (even with baby k around) and bought 9 pieces of clothings for her. i was so happy, baby k was happy and curious, she looked at every little corners. she dozed off twice, quietly. i was very impressed. did not fuss at all.

total damaged: $55.80 and i got a lucky draw coupon - i m not lucky in these stuff.

child visa

baby k got her australia child visa, it was granted on the 18.2.10. that means she can travel to australia anytime.

i will have to wait till she's 6 month for her 3rd hep B injection before going to australia.

3rd month milestone

· 24.1.10 - Not wearing mittens but still wear at night, afraid that she may scratch her face. Still wear booties when going out.

· 1.2.10 – Kicked away her blanket and bean pillow for the first time.

· Always asking for attention. She cries when nobody is around or no one is talking to her.

· She smiles and laughs out loud when someone communicates to her, even strangers.

· Head movement still a bit unstable - moving forward and backward. She can hold herself for a few second.

· Sometimes flipped to sleep side ways.
