Baby Buddha watching Television

Posted on January 16, 2011January 13, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Sometimes, to get away from the banalities of our routine, we check into a hotel to have some fun.  This is T2 at 5 months old. Tell me she's cute. She looks right at home with all those comfy pillows.....

Serving a baby princess

Posted on January 15, 2011January 13, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Just look at my baby princess! She's having her dose of comfort food crossed legged, Her Nana is stroking her cheek whilst she holds her Nana's hand and her Daddy is fanning her. Is life bloody good or what?!

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

One very hot day, I found my two kids in their underwear in T1's bedroom making a lot of noise. What were they doing? Playing Peekaboo with the curtains apparently..... Now you see me? Now you don't!!! PEEKABOO!!!

T2 loves bags……

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Before even hitting 1.5 years old, my T2 is already a big bag fan. She likes all sorts, paper bags, leather bags, canvas bags......as long as it has a colour or design that she likes, she will be grabbing that bag and NOT LETTING GO. We have this.......click to learn what next.

My baby must be the most stubborn old soul I've ever met! I have never met another person as stubborn as she is, oh my God!!! There is just nothing I can do to pull this horse to water!!! And I am stressed daily because of this. I.......click to learn what next.

Babies love climbing stairs

Posted on January 11, 2011January 11, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Now why is that? We have no stairs at home so I was really surprised when T2 took to the stairs like a duck to water when we arrived in Perth in a house with a staircase! She was a natural! She didn't know how to come back.......click to learn what next.

Keeping herself occupied…..

Posted on January 10, 2011January 10, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

You always know that when the house goes quiet, there is trouble looming......and after the number of heart attacks that my baby has caused me, I'm surprised I'm not fifty feet down under. From around Christmas time and ten days after, she'd had FIVE bumps on her head........click to learn what next.

Baby who’s always up to mischief

Posted on January 10, 2011January 10, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

This is a back-dated post, only by several months *wink* This baby of mine loves exploring - digging into things, peeling at things, climbing to unknown places, sticking fingers into holes, chewing on unknown objects, swallowing bits of raisin sized goods, tearing the tear-ables, you name it.

Sibling Squabbles in my household

Posted on January 6, 2011January 6, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

For the longest time since I was pregnant with T2, I'd convinced myself that I probably wouldn't have to deal with sibling squabbles for a while since the age difference between my two girls is quite significant - 5 years, but how wrong I was! For one, my.......click to learn what next.

T2 had another accident today – OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!

Posted on December 28, 2010December 28, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I really am beginning to think that I am jinxed. Just a few days ago, she climbed the dining chair and fell off it. Today, she was fluffing about in bed and accidentally knocked her head on the edge of the cot leg. Ouch. She now has TWO.......click to learn what next.

Cultivate a love for reading in children

Posted on December 11, 2010December 11, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Both my girls love reading. Even T2, who is only a baby. Well, practically a toddler now. I must say I worked and prayed very hard in hope that my firstborn would be a reader because as Dr Seuss says, the more you read, the more things you.......click to learn what next.

"My Mama allows me to eat Royce dark chocolate that costs RM2 per piece. The piece is 1 inch by 1 inch and 3mm thin and I can finish it in seconds begging for more. I am a happy camper whenever Mama gives me Royce dark chocolate. It.......click to learn what next.

Refusal to wear pyjama sleepsuits

Posted on December 9, 2010December 9, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Both my babies have always refused to wear sleepsuits because they are Eskimo babies. We fight all the time about the temperature control in our home. They're always too hot and I'm always too cold! They both never used blankets either. So much for all the money spent.......click to learn what next.
