Walking

EnEn is walking round and round the house !!!

Pasir Ris Park

Brought BB En to Pasir Ris Park again this weekend.  She's enjoying herself more and seems to be in parallel play with the kids.  

Mommy learns this term (parallel play) recently via the Motherhood magazine.  Parallel play means observing how older children play and learn how to play.  This is a stage whereby all toddlers go through... occur between 1 to 2 year old.

It's a good exposure for the little one hehe.  Shall find more ways to expose her to play opportunities.

En's development

En's new words:
湿湿
拜拜
坐坐
star
bubble


The little one can now express her preference. When Mommy asks "Do you want bread or biscuit?" She'll indicate her preference instead of repeating Mommy's last word in the sentence.
The little one will try to action when she hears action songs. Eg, She'll clap when Mommy sings "if you are happy and you know it clap your hands", stamp her feet when Mommy sings "if you are happy and you know it stamp your feet"...... and a few other songs too!

New toy from Baby Fair

The annual BabyCare festival is held 27th Feb, 28th Feb n 1st Mar at Expo.  Mommy and her mommy-colleagues cheong to Expo when lunch time strikes.  Nestle finally has sale for its milk powder!!!  Mommy grabs some milk powder and cereal and is given a freeibie bag hehe.

Mommy also saw the below selling at way below Retail price.  Bought them for En's future intellectual development.

En's first few steps!

Our little princess takes her first few steps =)  Daddy n Mommy are both very delighted !!!  And are happy that the little one is improving week by week.

Mega Bloks

Mommy bought Mega Bloks for the little one some time back.  It helps in develop hand eye coordination and also, allows individual's creativity !

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 12

It's BB En's last lesson today... So Mommy tones down on her activities and let her enjoys her fav ~ Sea of Balls.  The little one has her fun kicking and rumbling through them.

En has a special motivating sticker at end of class today.

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 11

Unfamiliar trainer faces are seen today.  Noticed one of them is a trainer for the toddler class.  This trainer managed to get En through the tunnel (!!!) after many failed attempts by Mommy. Impressed!  

Mommy n En have a fun time at the end of session ~ chasing after bubbles.  En glees with delight~ !

Seeing En still bustling with energy, Mommy n Daddy brought the little one to the nearby playground to have a go at the slide.  En likes to slide down and will attempt to crawl up thereafter.

Class begins with massaging exercises on the little fingers and toes.  Plus some strengthening of back muscles.
Auntie Pearlyn has a sing-along riddle that Mommy always fail to catch.  Nevertheless, here's Mommy's version:  

Father, Mother & Uncle Bob

They all want to cross the wooden bridge

Father cross the bridge WHOOPS

Mother cross the bridge WHOOPS

Uncle Bob jiggle-ly jiggle-ly WHOOSH

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 7

It's TumbleTots time!

Class starts with massaging exercises to strengthen the limbs' muscles.

 

En En's favorite ~ Sea of balls where the little one R&R

Swing Swing Swing

One of the new stations this week... a dangling bridge.  It increases difficulty as the little one has to balance on the swaying bridge and walk across it.

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 6

Classroom looks very different today.  The blue carpet is gone.  The walls have a new coat of paint.  The stations are more low level now... not so much of climbing and height.  

Mommy and EnEn tried pole walking today but with the parquet... the poles kept slipping off the floor!  Luckily En mastered good grip of holding them.

EnEn says...

Banana
But sometimes, the little one will say Na Na

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 5

It's Sunday ~~ TumbleTots time!  We had some fun doing the opening exercises.  The little ones were to jump up and down to the little froggie tunes.  This is really a test on Mommy's arm muscles.  Good thing Mommy is trained. Haha.

Auntie Pearlyn is back!!!  Amongst the trainers, she is the only one who can tickle En and whom the little one likes to play with.
The little one attempt to climb up the ladder and walking on the bridge.  She did well except for the part where she had to cross her leg over the hedge.  It's a test on her leg splitting skills.

Gymbabe ~ Lesson 4

It's Sunday again! Playgroup time~! Class is smaller today. So BB En gets to have more time at each station. The stations are rearranged again to let the Gymbabes face different "challenges". The main thing is still to develop their social and cognitive skills.

BB En does good today as she tries to climb the ladder and walk on the plank. According to the trainers, the height are magnified 3 times in babies' world. So its a good test on "fear factor" haha.

One of the activities is to let BB En walks whilst holding the poles. Mommy makes her walk up and down obstacles to test if she keeps a lookout at where she's going. EnEn Pass!

It's time to broaden BB En's food horizon. So mommy cooked some macaroni in homemade stock + some spinach for the little one. Yummy she likes it and she whips them up fast! Something different from her usual porridge =)
