Eya's feeding preparation

Eya is 5 months now but she still is not weaned. Doc wouldn't let Eya eat too early as her weight is on the 90th percentile (more than average, its normal not obese). We have to wait until Eya is exactly 6 months old before feeding her solid food.I really couldn't wait to feed her as it will be another milestones for me and Eya. However, that 6 months timeline is too long. Its not that I couldn't wait but now Eya likes to stares at other people eating and start drooling. She will watch the person eating, hoping that she will get some. If we eat icecream or any food that is soft, we will give Eya a taste of it as we don't want her to be 'kempunan'.So, I got her a set of bowls and fork and spoon yesterday. I also bought Farley Rusk as we couldn't find Heinz First Cereal. Mom tried to feed her and she really loves eating. However, we only feed her a tiny little bit of FR as we don't want her to eat real just yet.OK, another 3 weeks to go......

Baking our 1st Cake

Me and hubby decided not to go anywhere for this weekend. Just went to Jln Ipoh to service our car for the 33K km service. Later in the evening, me and mom decided to bake a cake. I was playing LIFE with hubby and sis when mom kept asking when I want to make her a bread pudding. (Refer to recipe) I told her I wanted to finish the game before making the pudding. Luckily, there was some cream left and I defrosted the cream. I cut the loaf of bread and melted the butter. Then, poured the cream and walla, its done. After the pudding is done, my mom asked me to bake a cake. I wanted to try baking a butter cake first to test the oven. I forgot to buy the castor sugar at Carrefour yesterday, so I went to Pasar Raya Wasbudi to buy one. I also bought a few other stuffs as my sis want to cook a special recipe that night.The cake turn out allright. It was very delicious but I think something must be wrong as the cake was a bit wet/moist. Our diagnosis were the butter is cold or the container is not big enough. BTW, Adib loves the pudding. He even asked for the recipe (macam nak buat).

Registering Eya...

I received a call from Pn Jamaliah, the ILSAS Nursery supervisor on 16th Feb, 07 at 11.32 a.m. that Eya has been accepted into the nursery. I can start sending her from 1st March, 07. Frankly speaking, I was not prepared for this call. I know that one day, she is going to this nursery but deep inside me, I'm want her to be taken care by someone she and me knows. But in reality, this option is not possible.Its either giving up hubby and me family life or sacrifing my mom's precious time. ( I think she has no problem with this, its just me want her to enjoy her time, going to mosque, religious class etc.)I really miss the time we are living in Nilai, just the both of us and going back every weekend to my mom's house. It felt like 'Balik Kampung, ho,ho,ho, balik kampung' sort of feelings. I miss all the moments we shared together. Its not that we couldn't have that moments at my mom's house but living with mom, sis, bro and a whole lot more restrict our freedom as husband and wife. For me, I think its okay as they are my family but hubby, he need more freedom. Going back to Eya, my mom taught her to sleep in the 'buaian' (cradle) as it is easier to put her to sleep. Now, as she is going to nursery, I afraid that she couldn't sleep on a plain mattress. The nursery don't have the 'buaian' as I think it may be quite dangerous for them to put babies to sleep in them. When I went to register her, the s/visor gave me a list of things to be brought everyday and information about the fees. I need to prepare all these stuffs by next month. Really hopes that Eya can be nice girl at the nursery.

8 hours, damn, we're tired.....

We went back to Taiping, hubby's hometown on Saturday, around 7.30 a.m. We knew that the road will be packed with cars of people going back for the CNY 'makan besar'. However, we didn't expect the jam to start right after the exit of Sungai Buluh. It was a bumper-to-bumper crawl. We reached Bukit Beruntung about 3 hours later. Why we stop here?? My darling angel has decided to 'poo' and we had to stop somewhere to clean her up. BTW, it was raining the whole way from Sg. Buluh to Bukit Tarak Untung.Hubby decided to use the old road rather than stucked in the jam again. I was very hungry at this time as I didn't have any breakfast yet. Although, there are some 'kedai mamak' in the nearby town, we couldn't stop as it was raining heavily and we wouldn't want to risk Eya getting fever as she just recovered from cold. So, we made our move to Taiping using the old road. Before that, we stopped at 7-E to buy some breads and 'air kotak' for our breakfast. As we only prepared 2 bottles of milk for Eya for the 3 hour journey and one has finished, we use the hot water for 'maggi-making machine' to make Eya another bottle of milk.From there up until Bidor, we couldn't stop for any meals as all the stalls, restaurants are not to my liking. (Who knows, ntah-ntah restoran tu from dusk till dawn ke, tak naya). At 12.30, we arrived at Tapah and had our lunch at one of the restaurants there. After the lunch, we decided to use the highway and luckily, there was no more traffic jam. We arrived at hubby's home around 4 p.m. The usual journey will take around 3 hours, which mean we should arrive 6 hours earlier at 10.30 a.m. The weird thing was my sis-in-law arrived at 1.30, a 4-hour journey from KL. But knowing her husband (the type of driver who only sees emergency lane as the normal lane and thought that the official speed limit in Malaysia is 150 km/h), I knew they will arrive earlier than us.

Get set...go

As I mentioned earlier in the previous post, I went to MV to do some shopping. It turned out that everybody also did their bit in shopping. Here are the list of shopping did by them:



Adik

• A pair of Levi's jean
• A Puma sneakers (orange)
• RISK board game (present to Abo)
  
  

Nana

• A Converse shoes(pink)

Mak

• A pair of Ipanema slipper
• A Hush Puppies shoes (present for last year birthday)

Abo

• He was the one who want to shops for sneaker and shoes but couldn't find any (he has an extreme difficult taste when it comes to buy shoes,really hard to find one that he likes). Anyway, does any of you knows where to find Adidas Samba, he is looking for this one...

Introducing Dino...

Just like to introduce you, Dino, Eya's favourite toy and best friend.Dino was a present from my best buddies, Masyu, Nurul and Lida. It is a dinasour stuffed animals and it is green in colour (actually, a lots of color). It has dangling clinky rings, baby dino rattle textured spikes and ribbon tail.As Eya can now hold things, she likes to hold Dino by the red handle. She also was once bitten by Dino (the red handle got stucked in her mouth, not that dangerous, ok). However, in the other end, every part of Dino has been bitten by Eya. By the way, Dino real name is Spike the Dinasour but I think it is easier for a baby to say the word Dino than Spike.

Look, what hubby bought for us....

Hubby just got some extra money. He decided to spend some of it on me and Eya. I thought I could buy a new handbag, purse or maybe a new watch. We went to Midvalley to do the shopping and after some surveying, I finally found the bag at Metrojaya. As for Eya, hubby bought her a Fisher-price play gym at Jusco.Its called Miracle & Milestones, 3-in-1 gym. You can change locations and positions of all four stimulating toys, or add other ones for new ways to play. At first, I afraid that it might be a waste since Eya only likes to play with her Dino.
