As usual, I enjoyed my swimming time a lot!
Just 2 more lessons to go, & I will graduate from my swimming lesson in the tub.

Diapers Comparison

Mummy thought that it will be useful to share this post with mummies-to-be who are contemplating whether to start their babies on cloth and/or disposable diaperings. 

Cloth Diapers versus Disposable Diapers - Pros and Cons

Mummy started me on both types. Currently, I am alternating between cloth and disposable diaperings. When I was a newborn, Mummy did some research on the web to source for reliable one-size cloth diapers. Finally, she settled on Wahmies & BumGenius. It was really a good buy as both brands fit me snugly. Most importantly, Mummy was told that these diapers will fit me till I am potty-trained. Despite the fact that the initial cost of buying these cloth diapers were not cheap, Mummy felt that it was a good deal since it can last me for a few years. In addition, unlike what old times diapers looks like, these dipaers are actually very hip & trendy. Hence, my verdict is, cloth diapering ROCKs !

While cloth diapering is the preferred choice, disposable diapering offers Mummy the ease of use.

Where disposable diaper is concerned, Mummy chose not to compromise on the price & quality since I am going to wear them for long hours each time. There are simply too many brands in the market, hence, after reading up pages of reviews online, Mummy settled on NEPIA & Mamy Poko. The verdict is, both brands are comparable. In terms of leak-protection, pee absorption and the cottony soft & breathable material, all we could say was "Thumbs Up!"

Personally, I prefer Mamy Poko! Simply because of the lovely Pooh Bear!

Organic Brown Rice Cereal

Mummy bought me Organic Cereal.

Why use Organic Brown Rice from HealthyTimes?!

(1) No Soy & Dairy in the Baby Cereals

(2) Fully Supplemented

(3) No Alpha-Amylase

(4) Organic Whole Grains, Vitamins, and Minerals

The verdict is, I still prefers milk milk to cereal. Cham lah, Mummy running out of milk supply soon due to irregular pumping sessions, how can she satisfy my craving for milk milk in the long run?!

My Bath Time Companion

Let me introduce my bath time buddy, the rubber duck! Rubber duck has been bathing with me since I was 3 months old. Rubber duck has made my bathing time more enjoyable as it squeaks & amuse me as we bath together. Just this morning, while Mummy was preparing to dry me, she caught me holding the rubber duck & putting it in my mouth. The rubber duck is 'finger lickin' good!

My 2nd Jab (DTPa+IPV+Hib)

Daddy didn't go work today because he wants to accompany me for my 2nd dose of DTPa+IPV+Hib. Daddy is so proud of me because I didn't make a single noise when the nurse inject the dose into my thigh! I simply stare at Daddy & gave the nurse a nonchalant look when she injected me, I didn't fuss despite the fact that there were bleeding after the injection this time round.

Daddy praised me for being a brave girl! Mummy so jealous that I react so cool infront of Daddy cause I will usually scream at the top of my lung during injection. Hee hee, I am Daddy's precious little girl, so I act differently infront of him.

I am weighing 7.1 kg @ 18 weeks old today. As usual, the next few hours is very crucial as I may develop fever after the jab. Mummy got to observe me hourly for any rise in my body temperature. Wish me good luck!

Do you believe that BABY can read?

Experts say the most natural time to learn any aspect of language is during the infant and toddler years. There is a “natural window of opportunity” for learning language where it is easier for children to learn to understand and speak at a high level. During this window of opportunity, between the ages of 3 months and 5 years, they can also learn the written word naturally and easily.

 
Believe it or not, Mummy decided to start me on flash cards lesson.

Today is lesson #1. Not that difficult after all, the colourful words & pictures on the flash cards did captured my attention for a while. Mummy know it's time to end the lesson when I begun feasting my fingers to show her that I am bored already.
