Julian the parrot

At 14 mths, Jul is weighing in at only 7.9-8 kg. Post stomach flu, his grandparents complained that he seemed to have shrank.:( On the positive side, he has started parroting what we say. We got him to say
1. Stuck
He gets foot stuck in awkward places at times.. So one day when I asked him if he’s stuck, he replied,” tuck” . Haha. Now when he cannot get something out of the box or get his foot stuck again, he can say it without me prompting.
2. Gong gong comes out as ” Kang Kang”
3. Po po.. Not loud and confident but definitely heard him say it a few times
4. Papa. Third word he learnt after…
5. Neh neh- which refers to milk of course.
6. Mama- melts my heart every time he says it. First word he said.
7. Banana- comes out as ” er- ner ner”
8. Spot( a cartoon dog character) comes out as ” pot”
I’m enjoying myself even though I haven’t got much of a social life. It’s fun to watch him grow. I want to thank the husband for being extremely supportive and involved in bringing up our son. Thanks, monkey.
Tried and tested: Etude House Magic BB Cream

Etude House moisturizing BB Magic Cream ( $30.90)
Read the reviews for this BB cream and thought I would give it a try. It is supposed to give you flawless skin like the kimchi actresses. So, does it? Ok, not flawless flawess lah.. Those kimchi actresses probably spend obscene amount of time in beauty salons slathering on expensive creams and potions to achieve their desirable beauty. But still, I would highly recommend this Magic BB cream from Etude House for the following reasons:
1. Evens out skin tone
2. Application is a breeze with just your finger tips, no special brush or sponge required.
3. A little goes a long way. So 1 tube will last quite a while.
4. It does not streak
5. You need not bother about colour, there’s only one and it is for all skin tones.
6. Not cakey. It feels very light on the skin despite the coverage it provides.
7. Medium coverage. Effectively covers dark circles and redness around the sides of the nose. Not sure abt coverage on acne prone skin though.
8. Skin appears dewy and radiant post application.
I have decided to support kimchi n sushi skincare from now on. I know it will be more convincing if I put some photos to prove but I’m too shy and is pretty sure allllllll cameras hate me. I must tell you I tried.. I couldn’t take a single pleasant looking shot.. I’m Saving you from nightmares..
Proper sitting posture for young children

The husband pointed out that Jul should not sit the ” W” way. The wide base gives stability but does not help him to build a strong core and apparently is detrimental to development!
“W” sitting posture:

Beetroot, apple and carrot plus a teeny weeny bit of ginger is a potent blood cleansing juice. It’s natural antihistamine for my eczema. It’s of course cheaper to juice it yourself but it can be quite a hassle to do it everyday.. Solution: freeze the dang juice and make popsicles and flavoured ice- cubes with it. Soooo convenient and puuurrrfect for warm afternoons! This is ABC flavoured ice cubes with orange juice.. Yum!
