Tiring routine started all over again

It was 8 months back that we used to travel everyday to my parents place. Every morning, hubby will bring andrea & maid to parents place and i will drop by their house in the evening to have dinner. Then 4 of us will drive back to kota kemuning to call it of a day. This really stress us out! Then we finally settle down at my parents place until yesterday we have again made a decision to travel everyday to their house again!

Now the routine abit different, I will drive back to kota kemuning after work & wait for hubby to fetch me to parent's place. Sometimes we will have dinner outside before picking up Andrea. I hope this will work out, I think it will because i get to shower before 6pm! hehe...

Andrea is still young and i hope by 2 or 3 she is able to go to school and no longer need grandparents to keep an eye on her full time.

Singing

Lately andrea starts to sing one particular song that only heard from The Little Walkers class. "bai bai, bibi, bai bai" (bye bye. baby, bye bye) which is sing towards the end of the class. I was very amaze that she start singing at this age!

andrea current weight is only 8.015kg. That's a very poor weight & i have asked my maid to increase her milk powder to 4 scoop for 6 ounce. I hope to see more improvement when she is weight again at 18 months.

Isetan Pre-sale

For a long time, i hardly buy things for myself. Yesterday at Isetan Pre-sale, we bought almost I 90% of andrea stuff. We had bought a pigeon compact sterilizer which was on 10% off. This is very handy if we are going for traveling, i have wanted to buy a compact sterilizer but never notice until the day before the pre-sale. I'm glad that i had one now. I have tested it today and it was OK, the descaling was very easy too, only lemon juice needed! how economical!

Besides, we have bought some home wear for andrea. Her current tops are either too dirty or too tight. It was at good bargain too, 60% off! We have also bought a new cup from pigeon & some bottle brush from pigeon. That's about it for andrea

Groceries part, i have bought all that is cheap (according to the isetan leaflet) & hubby bought his favourite golf glove. We arrive home at 7.45 pm

Mummy, Mummy.... All day Long

Andrea is able to say "Mummy" very Clearly now and she likes to call me whenever she sees me or want to look for me. I was at home the last two days and she calls me a million times! It felt annoying at times but i felt happy all the time! hehe...

Hubby had bought 2 more things from ELC (Early Learning Centre) last weekend. Their 20% sale store wide has ended 15th Sept.
1. Drawing Mat from Tomy - superb technology, only uses water
2. Wood Bowling Set
Andrea enjoys drawing and stamping, however she doesn't know how to roll the ball yet. But she loves the wooden animals! I'm glad to see that she knows how to play with different toys.

Recently she knows how to dance, turn a round, sometimes up to three rounds! She knows how to lift her leg and point her toes. Put up her hands in the sky. Very Beautiful.

Little Walkers Update

Update from Little Walkers class
Date Joined - 2 Aug 08
Lesson attended - 7

Andrea was a very shy girl, she always stare at ppl playing, talking, etc. She never wants to join them. When ppl come near her she will start to cry.
Today, andrea is able to give teacher a Hug when we are going home. Besides, she is confident enough to walk up to teacher & play with other kids. She learns to share & help teacher to keep toys/ books.

What Andrea Love best?
Andrea favourite time is towards the end of the class, where Teacher gave Sticker & stamp on the hand & tummy and where Teacher blow Bubbles. Today, andrea seems to enjoy doing somersault. we did 3 times today! 2 forward roll & 1 backward roll. Amazing!

Does Tragedy happened?
Yes it does. Andrea had 2 bad falls from the class so far. Both are due to overly excited kid pushes her. During popping bubble time & What's in the Bag time.

I've planned to stop this class end of October. However, will see if she is too exhausted to have 2 classes in October. If she is OK, i will continue with Kizport.

Sleepless Night

It has been a week that i did not have straight 7 hours of sleep. Andrea sleeping pattern has changed again! She used to sleep 4 hours during day time: 10am-12pm & 2pm-4pm. Now she only sleeps 2 hours during the day & it's before lunch time! Hence, she sleeps super early at night, around 8pm she'll be in her dreamland. She will wake up 12am or 3am or 5am to ask for milk!

She is able to say alot of words now, including milk. Last time when she wakes up, she will sign milk, and i can choose to ignore her cos i can pretend not to see. Now she is able to say MILK, and she will say MILK MILK MILK until i wake up! It's pretty annoying when you feel that you do not have enough of sleep! I being selfish, i wake up hubby together to make Milk for Andrea.. hehe... I do not want to suffer alone!

We just came back from Little Walkers class, Andrea is sound asleep now. I hope these sleepless night will end soon!

Zara Baby

I have bought 2 pants from Zara for Andrea. Winter collection clothes are very pretty, the 2 pants that i have bought are in same design but different colour & material. Their shoes are very nice too, however they are meant for winter hence it's very heavy because of the thick base. I have also bought a long sleeve pink top :) Was tempted to buy the sweater, the design just like my sweater but 10x smaller. Very cute!! Didn't buy in the end as Andrea already has a sweater.

Andrea's favourite movie
(1) Baby Sign DVD (9 months - 14 months)
(2) Baby Einstien (10 months - 12 months)
(3) POCOYO (14 months)

Physical improvement
(1) Walk very fast & run sometimes
(2) Likes to Climb table, chairs, grille (i do not know if this is because of her Little Walker Class)
(3) Drawing on papers, wall, sofa, basically everywhere
(4) Kick & Throw balls
