Its been a long time since the last entry, like 2 to 3wks already? And the main reason for my lack of post: RUNNING MAN!! For the past nights, hubby and I have been playing catch up on this variety show, sometimes 3 episodes per night. So, totally not in the mood to type post. Each time I watch and try to type something, by the time I reach like the end of first sentence, my mind is all on the show already, forgetting what I had intended to type immediately. So highly addictive. The addiction is further fuelled when we bought the mini HDMI wire to connect our tablet to the TV in the living room. Watching in the room is difficult for us, we can't laugh because it will wake JCH up.
Initially, I had the stamina to watch through the night. As the days passed, plus the drowsy medicine that I have to take, it soon became that I would nap in the afternoon with JCH, and then play catch up with the cleaning up and show watching at night. There's like hyper a lot of cleaning to do for this moment. Because of the rearranging of cabinets items and spaces throughout the house prior to this period of Running Man, I could move chunks of equipment from our cramped up room to spaces in the living room and kitchen. *and then now I'm singing to Spice Girls on Class95..ok back focus back!* Almost all are equipment used for preparation of JCH's food and his toys. So, wiping down of cabinets, arranging and rearranging of cabinets. Plus we disposed some old furnitures and bought new ones so that a space could be freed up for JCH's play yard. So you know what comes with new furnitures. Washing and house cleaning.
THEN, there's buying of more toys for JCH! And no, those are not like, impulse buying, they are all planned buys. See, JCH started out with really minimum toys for him to fiddle and occupy his attention. And story books too, I've just started buying when he passed 7mths. When there are new acquisition (of JCH's equipment), there follows a regime of thorough washing down and sterilizing process before JCH can lay his hands on the toys. More washing! Plus JCH is getting more cereals and porridge now, more more more washing. Anyone who cooks knows that the preparation process is the most tedious process, and I'm having double the tedious things going on as I bulk prepare the ingredients for cooking. Why? I hope that JCH will be able to enjoy variety in his eating process, and not only have sweet potatoes for like one week. =X I would be pissed if that happened to me. Hahaha.
At the end of all the busy-ness, endless washing, I felt like its all worth me spinning around, and having my days and nights reversed. He's now taking homemade (white rice) cereal spiced up by carrots, apples, nectarines and (coming up) brown rice, barley, green bean cereals in addition to the commercial yoghurt cereal (I have no idea how to prepare yoghurt cereal.. >.<), homemade (jasmine rice) porridge with carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, ikan bilis, egg yolks, (coming up) radish, chicken and asparagus, and not forgetting bananacado puree. Oatmeal in the pipeline. Also seeing how he has grown now (in terms of size, motor development, mind development): putting on healthy weight, showing good appetite in semi-solids, taking good naps and good night sleeps, having very keen interest to interact with people, singing along when being sung to, watching Pororo, interest in being read to and fixated at the books, seems like learning to use his hands to feel our faces and materials, very keen interest in eating almost anything too, and continuous effect in trying to crawl. No matter how tired out I feel, down, lonely, sick, every night I get lifted up by looking at his sleeping face. Also these days he's been really sweet. When on his tummy, he will turn and smile in my direction when I talk to him, and turn towards me (he is super proficient in turning now) till he knocks into me, and just lies on me any how and flash that smile. He does this to his dad too.
Alright, time to sleep now. Gonna update tomorrow onwards with pictures. Have like a lot of photos in my phone now, but didn't upload anywhere. Just been too occupied with JCH, especially now his attention needs to be filled in with activities to excite that small little growing mind.
Looking forward to the arrival of the play yard, and it will be time to put up the finishes that will help to keep the baby mind entertained while mommy gets busy either with stuff, or rest. XD Oh and busy with looking for new recipes for this growing eater! Nomnomnomnom!
