Whale of a time

Hubby and I decided that it was time to get Jaden a walker since he did not act scared of it when put in one at Aunt Lin's. Yesterday we went to Planet Enfante at Atria Shopping Complex for the very first time. It was rather big and impressive with all sorts of colourful car seats, high chairs and baby things. I was rather impress with the Fresco Bloom and Maxi Cosi Mura.

Fresco Bloom (comes in pink and blue)
very spacy :: designer look



Maxi-Cosi Mura
(so darn cool!)



They even have RunwayM clothings there for pregnant ladies. Anyway, we went looking for walkers expecting lots of them but there were only 3. Well, without further delay we put Jaden in all three to see which he looks most comfy in. All were My Dear's brand. Is it Japanese? It looked so.. and we finally bought him this model. Its called the Whale Walker.


The reason we got him a walker instead of Bumbo Baby Sitter was because I feel that with the walker, he can also sit and if he is bored of sitting, he can walk in it. Its also quite good for him to practise putting both his feet firmly on the ground. Now, he is tiptoeing. Well, he still do not know how to push forward his walker but he can 'gostan jalan'. Hubby says maybe we should just install those reverse signal alarm for him. *gRin* It also made my feeding easier now that I do not need to carry him on my lap to feed him. So happy with the buy!

Hopefully with the help of the walker, he will learn to walk. Hubby says that Jaden has yet to learn how to sit unsupported on his own and hes already learning how to walk. So SALAH... hehehe but well, putting him in a walker is better than to leave him on the bassinet when he is out in the living room. Better to be sitting up than lying down. Afterall when he is in the bedroom, hes always lying down or doing his own tummy time.

Last night, I cooked chicken and carrot porridge for Jaden to try again but he still do not like it. After 3 or 4 mouthfuls, he did not want the spoon near him. So guess who finished the whole pot of porridge then? ME ME ME! Hubby don't like porridge at all and well, since I love to eat baby's type of porridge, put some soya sauce and a sprinkle of pepper and there is goes chomp chomp chomp down my tummy. DELICIOUS! Since he aint liking the porridge yesterday, thought I will take a day rest today from cooking porridge. Will try again tomorrow with pumpkin and chicken and carrots. Maybe he will like it then?

Introduced him to Apple and Cranberry Rice Cereals.

Rice with Apple & Cranberry – Stage 1 (For babies aged 6 – 24 months)
Rice is an ideal first cereal as it rarely causes allergies. It reduces intestinal fluid loss and helps to speed up recovery from diarrhoea. Apples are rich in pectin, which inhibits harmful bacteria and also helps to shorten the duration of diarrhoea. Cranberries are laden with antioxidant and vitamin C.

Have yet to try this one out at it was not on the shelf then. Maybe will lookout for it next time on the next grocery shopping trip.

Wheat with Oats & Prunes – Stage 2 (For babies aged 6 – 24 months)
Wheat and oats are good sources of natural fibre. Prunes are filled with good fibre that helps to facilitate bowel movement and relieve constipation.

Alrightie, baby is awake from nap.. time for me to sign off again.
