Still in hospital…..BAH…..

Posted on June 7, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Yes, we’re still stuck here. T2 is still wheezing like an old Renault so the Doctor will not discharge her. Did I tell you how uncomfortable hospital beds are? It’s like sleeping on quick sand! And T2 is so sick that she wants the boob in her mouth.......click to learn what next.

Back in hospital again….

Posted on June 6, 2010June 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

The good thing about being in hospital is that the patient more often than not is drugged out and sleeps, and then the Mommy can actually access her laptop because there is really nothing else to do in a hospital room apart from digging your nose, practicing silent.......click to learn what next.

Baby teaching her friends to build properly

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

And rightfully so. Both her parents are architects. Why is it I won't be surprised if both my girls end up being in the construction industry? They both love lego, they are both creative and they love drawing. How can I get them to be Doctors instead? Live.......click to learn what next.

My baby T2 talking early

Posted on May 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

In the last month, a friend of mine kept asking me if T2 can talk and I was thinking, is she crazy? T1 only started her first word at ? actually I have no idea when now but it was Mum-Mum. Yeah, she was a greedy little one........click to learn what next.

T2’s favourite biscuit

Posted on May 6, 2010May 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I have discovered finally a cookie that she loves, this crappy made in China rice rusks. We've tried Heinz, Italian Pureen, Farley's.....she doesn't like those the way she loves these. If I allowed her ten pieces a day, she would wallop ten pieces a day! Does anyone know.......click to learn what next.

The Baby Sleep Book by Dr William Sears

I have that by my bedside tonight. And I intend to finish reading it by tomorrow morning. No kidding. Today, I had one of those days. Yes, THOSE days. Those where you want to drive your car over a ditch at 200km/hr with both kids unbelted and warn.......click to learn what next.

Freezing baby food

Guess who's been busy in the kitchen every weekend with the blender? T2, of course! I make her hold the hand blender, she loves it as it vibrates and makes NOISE!!! Child labour at 8 months, not bad eh? Which brings me to a very curious question. The.......click to learn what next.

Cheeky munchkin

I didn't even realise it but T2 is now 8 months old! Oh my goodness! Her latest trick is doing the sausage roll where she'd ROLLLLLLLLL.......flip-flop-flip-flop-flip-flop.......to get to whatever she wants. She cannot crawl yet and rolling is her way of being mobile. She can certainly rolllllll.......to get.......click to learn what next.

T2 and her 1st car

RUNNNNNNNNNN......THIS CAR IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!

Another Mak Nenek

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Because T2 has been generally very quiet since birth, we were hoping that her docile and gentle demeanour would mean we only had the chatty, noisy Tee to contend with. But now that T2 is growing bigger, with each day, I am beginning to doubt that we will.......click to learn what next.

How to kick an addiction

Posted on April 5, 2010April 5, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

As I write this, I am thinking just how bad it is to have an addiction. And unfortunately, addiction runs in our family. The Hubs is addicted to money. Tee is addicted to talking. I am addicted to chocolate. And T2 is addicted to my boobs. For better.......click to learn what next.

Le girafe de la France

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Because I'd given all of Tee's baby stuff away much earlier, practically ALL of T2's stuff are hand-me-downs from friends and family. So one day, when I was feeling itchy, I bought her a very expensive Sophie, the giraffe from France. And because it was ridiculously expensive, I.......click to learn what next.

T2 and her entourage

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Gosh, I am large! The eldest always has the honour of pushing the youngest princess. Where is Tee? She is getting a piggy back ride from Uncle Ben, can't you see? Can you guess where this is taken?

T2 has started talking

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I kid you not. It is surreal. Today, I told her that Mommy was very tired and had to pass her to Daddy so Mommy could have a nap. Just as Daddy walked towards me to get her, she said, "DADI...." Really. And here, she is saying, "Please.......click to learn what next.
