Sleep :  Recently, sleep patterns change again. She used to self-settled but somehow, at this month, I need to rock her on the lazyboy to sleep with the baby instrumental music on. Baby, you've got a high taste yeah. But at least la, once she's asleep, I put her down and she will continue to sleep. She still sleeps through the night, which is really great. Thank you Baby.

 My baby koala.

 

And this is the baby Lullaby instrumental music that can put her to sleep in just 10mins! Amazing!

 

Food : Exclusively breastfeed. Doesn't take bottle. I decided not to train her to bottle feed since she will be starting her solid next month. She doesn't like it hence, I do not want to force her. One more month baby. One more month! Food food food! Just made a purchase online at #applecrumbyandfish in preparation for baby Vi's solid next week! So so excited! I didn't get to officially kick start the solid food journey with the two older kids because I was a full time working mom back then. I'm glad that now I'm a stay at home mom, moreover baby Vi is our last baby, am pretty glad that I have been given this chance to raise her up all by myself, all under my care from the day she entered this world.

 

Purchased made from ApplecrumbyandFish. The baby wipes are on sale, bought many of these to wipe baby Vi's hand or mouth when we are out and about since it is plant based baby wipes and no harmful chemical. No matter how many kids you have and how many things you already have from the first baby, you will still buy. Lol. Just purchased a B.Box Sippy cup (straw bottle) for baby Vi to encourage her to drink water after meals. And a wipeable OWL bib from Stephen Joseph. I always love Stephen Joseph products because of the very colorful designs. =D

Best moment this week : Roll like a pro from tummy to back, but still didn't see her rolling from back to tummy. Hopefully soon. Can sit on high chair with support. Shows that she's ready for solid!

Musang Durian Mille Crepe - Sugar & flour

I was browing FB the other day and suddenly came across this suggested post. OMG! I'm a durian lover and with the few thousand likes and few thousand comments on this ONE post, how can I miss such a great deal. Since the hubby wasn't around and I'm alone with the three kids, I decided to give this a shot. My kind of comfort food after two long weeks with the two toddlers and 1 baby ... all by MYSELF! 

 

 Hopefully it really lives up to its name. With so many likes and comments, it cannot go wrong right. Must be something really good. It's durian season, hence the promotion. I called the number, made an order, made payment, booked slot on 9 Aug! Till then, I seated patiently at home waiting for 9 Aug for this little baby. =D

 

It arrived on 9 Aug, around 1pm! I read a few reviews in FB said that the delivery wasn't on time and they waited for a whole long day and still haven't receive, called the courier and the courier said 1 more hour, but after 1 hour still haven't receive.. so on and so on. Thank God my order was so straightforward. I just waited at home and then the door bell rang at 1pm. Saw the Ta-Q-Bin van outside waiting. I knew it was the cake! Received it cold and ice. They freeze it so that it won't spoil after a day of traveling from JB to KL. Awesome!

 

Look at this beauty!! Couldn't wait to cut.. but it was so hard like an ice because they freeze it.

 

The beautiful layers of the crepe, layered with generous amount of cream. 

 

Finally, able to cut after using much force. So afraid my knife will break into half. Haha. Cut a few portions, and keep the rest back in the freezer.

This is half frozen. If you eat it like this, it tastes a lot like ice cream. I waited a while more, roughly about 20mins in room temperature and it tasted really good. But I couldn't taste if it was real musang or not, which I doubt it is. The durian is blended with the cream therefore, couldn't taste much of the durian flesh. More towards the smell only. Anyway, I still enjoy this because I've been grounded at home for two long weeks! Some dessert to keep me fresh and sane.

Baby Vi on Highchair @ 5.5Months

Oh Boy!! Where did the time go? Where is mommy's little newborn? Time just flew by without us really sitting down and enjoy every golden nuggets. She's growing up too fast. Or perhaps the time flew by too fast. In 1 week's time, she will be starting her first solid. This time, I'm determined to try BLW. Since I didn't get to start solid with the first two older kids because they were in the babysitter while I was working, I'm just so excited to start this new journey, eating journey with my little girl. First food in my mind is avocado! Since it's packed with nutrients, I hope she likes it. This weekend I shall go and hunt for avocados. Seriously, I'm very excited!!

 

 Sitting on the high chair like a pro! Bought the high chair and high chair bumper from Ikea Malaysia. Just love it because it supports her so well that she didn't get any chance to move around. Just stay still like that until she's a pro sitter. The minute after I placed her on this high chair, she started to lick the table. Lol. Am sure she's as excited as me.

 

I bought this toy from Pigeon quite some time and it has been left hanging on her playgym. Somehow one day, she grew interest in this little chewing toy and just couldn't stop nomnomnoming on it. Guess she might be teeting soon.

Out of topic a bit, but I just like this drawing from Ash. She attempted to draw peppa pig, but somehow peppa pig became two headed pig and this doesn't look like pig, it looks more like a rabbit's head. Haha. Anyway, good job little one. And yeah, she can write a lot of sentences now all by her own initiatives, without me coaching her what to write and how to write. Mommy is so proud of you!
