Rou has made her first attempt to walk !

Just today, she made her first attempt to put her leg forward without any support and yes she made it ! Rou has been cruising along the sofa, the wall for the past few months. I think she is trying to explore if she can walk like adults as she is now very good at imitating what we do. A big hand for Rou ! Hopefully she can start to walk soon, as carrying her walking up and down the staircase is really killing my feet these days !

Another move soon !

We have been here for almost 2 months and we are expecting another move pretty soon as we have got a place on our own. 2 moves in 2 months time...I can't believe it ! But yes it is true and we will have another challenge to get our sweetie to adapt to another new place. Hope Rou will like it.
I am now doing my inventory listing to make sure everything come in goes into our new place. This is the first time I really put my ISO documentation skill into my real life. Always a controlled listing of all assets and inventory and make sure it is the latest version !
Folks stay tune with another updates of my new home soon !
No pics of my new place yet as we have not collected the key, but just a sneak preview of the kitchen which was taken during the viewing of the house.

Rou can stand and cruise along with her walker

Rou has achieved another milestone this week. We bought her a walker which she can hold and push the walker. This walker is quite different from the previous walker that we bought her. The previous walker is a conventional walker which would prevent her from falling but it also deters her from standing on her own putting her steps forward. This walker requires her to hold on to the handle and stand up on her own and push forward to make her baby steps. I would strongly suggest this walker if your baby can already hold on to something and cruise along. Only thing is you have to watch closely to make sure she push forward and not backward as the wheel might hurt baby's feet.

Guess what is Rou doing ?

The weather has been quite hot recently. Our dear baby has been very creative in keeping herself cool. Apparently she has been sleeping in this pose for a while and with her back facing up , guess it will not accumulate the heat and keep her cool all time.
Mmm... maybe I should also try this out. Who knows it might help me bend my body easier in doing some Yoga pose.

Rou eating on her own

Today, I make the first attempt for Rou to eat her finger food from her own bowl. I teared a slice of bread into small pieces and put in her bowl. At first she was a bit clumsy, she just grabbed the bread and hold it tight and a few times,she just grabbed and threw. I made a demo showing her to put the bread into her mouth and tried helping her. She then tried on her own and managed to put it into her big mouth.

She was so happy and finished everything in the bowl and in fact I was even happier than her. I really want to thank a friend of mine who actually told me, "Baby is like a piece of blank paper when they are born. They need time and opportunity to learn and explore. Why bother to spend some time to let them played around and explore on their own. The happiness or experience they gained is priceless and what you need is just a few minutes to clean up the mess."
I really felt it and I really want to share with all mothers and mothers-to-bes.

Finally moved in !

This is a stressful experience of moving and it is the first time in my life moving a house across the border to a totally new environment ! I had a few sleepless nights prior to the move as my mind just couldn't stop running through the checklist again and again just to make sure we don't leave any necessaries behind 300km away and for those nights that I managed to catch some sleep, it was not peaceful either, I had night mares of leaving out passports, forgot to switch off the power.... etc.. Now, I am relief...at least for now. Everything has been moved in to our new home and our dear baby is adapting well to the new environment. Just look at how she climbed up the coffee table, and showed her funny face.

I m going to miss you, my beloved nest !

I moved into this house in 2005 when I got married and both me and my hubby are so attached to this house. I love my home. Every single item in this house was carefully selected, even the floor mat.I am picky and I would never buy anything just because I need it. Because of my stubbornness, I earned the privilege of choosing most of the furniture.
Heres some shots of my favourites.....good bye...I will miss you...
