A week ago, Tecky and I bought this sets of floor 'mat' (what do you call them) for Rachel... Only 3 sets left in Tesco (and cheap whoi, RM9.90 oni)... LUCKY only 3 sets left, else we would have gotten more, but in fact, 3 was enough to fit the living area where Rachel plays...Well, seriously, I don't know about Rachel but I LOVE IT! hahaha... Isn't it the case with most parents? We buy things that we fancy and we have more kicks out of it than the kiddo... hahaha... Well, look at her... I think it's good, as she starts to 'crawl' a bit more, and this doesn't hurt her knee (from the friction with the floor) when she pull and pull her knees moving her heavy backside up and down... It makes taking care of her a tad easier too, just throw her there with her toys, and she'll be entertained for a while... I really think this floor pieces are good... I even wipe Rachel at night on thsi mat, SO MUCH easier, dun have to worry about her tossing and turning and falling down... :D

So now, our apartment has been OFFICIALLY tagged KIDDO HOUSE... Once you entered, a big walker stands at the side, a box of milk powder sitting at the side of the store room door, LOTSA toys lying around and a COLOURFUL 'carpet' in the living... hahaha... BEAUTY eh? :P

When my mum's maids came home from the shop on Friday (19th Jan) and excitedly pass a letter to me telling me there's mail, I just "selamba" (Malay : casually) took it and looked at it, knowing that it's a CNY card... Then SUDDENLY, I saw that it wasn't for me leh!!!

It was addressed to "Rachel and Family"...

FUIYOH! Rachel's first mail... Who else but from the guy she "hassled" with the other day, Jayden and family... hahaha... It was really funny, reading what was stated in it, and err, Rachel being Rachel, wanted to tear the card apart leh! Oh, yeah, this is where the card is now, together with my some of my fridge magnets... (hahaha... ;)

After reading Sasha's blog (the post she purposely put up) on the munchkin, and seeing Rachel's reaction to food, Tecky finally regret not buying the munchkin... hehehe... SO, yeah, we went to 1U to get it for little Rachel last weekend, oh, and believe me, she loves it!! Not only her, grandfather also like it... hahaha... We had so much fun seeing her chomp chomp chomp away, and then started crying for more... hahaha....

You must be asking after seeing the photo, why got 2 leh?? hahaha... Well, the opened munchkin is of course, for little Rachel... And the unopened one, if for little Raelynne... Cuz Julian couldn't get it there, so since I'm getting it, Raelynne gets one too loo.... :D

Backdated post!!
aiya, been busy lately... :(

We bought a walker for Rachel last Saturday... It was VERY colourful, supposedly very functional, and one that we both liked instantly, instead of others which we were skeptical about... It cost a small bomb (EVERY MONTH, there's a small bomb, spent on Rachel's new stuff, lets hope this is the last big thing we need to get), RM200 after discount, but it can be used in future, for her to hold while learning to walk steadily... Yeah, the sit can be removed and the back handle can be turned to the front for her to hold... We also like this where the walker whells will not allow baby to walk side way, if want to turn, have to do it by front force (just like our car lar), so Rachel won't learn the crab walking style eh? hahaha...

ANYWAY, she's still not so keen in this, but slowly, hopefully she'll love it... Though I have read that walker train different sets of muscle compared to walking, so we are making sure her time in the walker is limited!

We also regret buying it a little at first, because when we attempted to try fit it into the car, IT WOULDN'T GO IN! And we couldn't take it apart it either, cuz the parts were all 'locked' in... Until Tecky, the mild tempered one between us, also lost his temper I tell you!!! Lucky when we tried again on Sunday, we could take away certain pieces of plastic from the 3 legs and that ease the job of moving it around, though it's not so portable!!
A tip for those that wants to get a walker, please remember to take into consideration the portability if you wish to bring the walker around, wherever the baby goes (in my case, my inlaw's house, my mom's house, Rachel's great grandma's house, and our own home)...

ANYHOW, the walker does look attractive eh? hehehe....
