Self Service – Part 2
Last year in December I did a short post on Hannah feeding herself with a Pigeon sippy cup, but funnily we didn’t really create many opportunities for her to do the same again since then. So, the next time she

Yummy Baby Foods: Cream of Tofu
This healthy dish is really creamy. Hannah’s first experience with it was very positive. Be warned, your baby might get addicted as it is so smooth! Hee hee :P Here’s the recipe: Ingredients (serves 1 chinese bowl) Silken organic tofu
Discovering Baby Behavior – Part 2 – Feeding
Though Hannah’s been ill over the last 2 weeks, there’s still at least one behavioral aspect that we’re still having a reasonably easy time in – and that’s feeding her. The pictures below basically show you what I mean: i.e.
Another visit to the PD
Hannah has been down with a mild runny nose for two weeks now, and it’s been causing her to be more irritable than usual with the two main effects centered on more wailing for attention, and also somewhat harder feeds.
我不要干了!
There’s a Chinese phrase that the both of us – ok maybe just me LOL – at home like to use to exhibit mock exasperation especially when we come home from work. It’s this: “我不要干了!”, and it’s enunciated as though
Hannah in Sepia
Truth to tell, while all the other digital compact cameras I’ve had invariably come with special effect filters, I’ve never really got into any of them before. The E-PL1 comes with half a dozen ‘art’ filters, including a couple of
Yummy Baby Foods: Cottage Pie (Baby’s version)

The 5th Taste?
Hannah has been introduced to foods which tasted sweet (e.g. pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, fruits), sour (e.g. yogurt and apple) or a little bitter (e.g. spinach and eggplant). Salt has been left out in her diet as it is not
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 3
Now for the inevitable bug bears. The Olympus Pen m4/3 cameras have got a lot of flak for their contrast-detection AF system. Basically, it’s slow. If you’ve only used DSLRs, the AF hunting the E-PL1 does is gonna be real
Ground Rice Grains
Grinding rice grains helps to cut down time required to cook them into soft porridge. It takes a bit of trouble to get it done but the convenience that comes later is worth it. So here’s what I did after
Cooking with the Slow Cooker
One of the challenges I faced when Hannah started on solid food was time management. Life began to feel quite hurried at home when cooking was part of the daily routine. Gosh, and more washing too! Since I didn’t start
