Posted on 15 Jun 2010   by Ling

It was lovely of Chek Tchung and Jasmine to invite Hannah and I to their home for an evening of home-cooked, wholesome dinner and fun company. :) Evenings at our home without Yang can get lonely at times as we

O Chicken Stock – cheep cheep!

Posted on 15 Jun 201019 Sep 2010   by Ling

Personal Hygiene for Hannah

Posted on 10 Jun 201011 Jun 2010   by Ling

One of the things which I’m so not looking forward to is keeping Hannah clean as she becomes more active and assertive. So far, changing diaper is becoming a nightmare as she would turn sideways and try to get up

From Infancy to Toddlerhood

Posted on 3 Jun 20103 Jun 2010   by Ling

Hannah’s Taste Buds

Posted on 2 Jun 20102 Jun 2010   by Ling

If there’s one thing that is totally predictable about Hannah, it has to be her appetite. She eats well regardless of flu, fever or diarrhea. Come what may, she would open her mouth for us to pour lunch and dinner

My First Mother’s Day

Posted on 11 May 201010 May 2010   by Ling

The usual poo-poo and stuff. Nothing ceremonial la. Hee hee. :P I got a little surprise though. Hannah’s teachers from her infant care centre got the infants to make hand-prints on paper and then they transformed these hand-prints into a

Posted on 26 Apr 201026 Apr 2010   by Ling

This is a brief sharing of my thoughts and experiences on using organic food for Hannah. As a newbie, I have done my bit in including organic food in our baby’s diet. Just surf the Internet on introducing solid foods

Posted on 24 Apr 201024 Apr 2010   by Ling

The best toys we bought for Hannah have to be those colourful plastic cups from Ikea. A pack of six costs only S$3.90 and they are a source of endless fun for our little girl. The things Hannah does with

The sick and flu-lish

Posted on 14 Apr 201014 Apr 2010   by Ling

It has been two weeks and I’m still not recovered from this flu bug ravaging in me. I believe I got it from Hannah (from finishing the leftovers of her food). Then I passed it on to Yang when we

After some trial and error with cooking solid food for Hannah at home, I have a small collection of recipes which worked (i.e. the dishes turned out to be delicious). They are so good that mommy steals a mouthful every
