Sago Gula Melaka

I made super mean sago gula melaka. :P

I love this dessert since 1998. I fall in love with this dessert when my mom first introduce to me, back then I eaten 3 bowls of these right after dinner; that was my first and last time eating it because the shop closed down after on fire.

I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try.

The gula melaka I made exactly the same as my mom made, it gave me a flash back on my childhood.

CoddleLife Glass Milk Bottle

I brought these wide neck glass milk bottles on 7th May 2011. The reason I choose wide neck so that both of my children can continue with their existing teats. I have waited for 4 months for their stock to arrive.

The one with silicon wrap is belong to JC and the other is belong to JE. I found out that glass bottles are easy heat up compare to plastic bottles.

So far so good, the glass milk bottles still exist.

These CoddleLife glass milk bottle only sell in certain organic stores or online stores. I brought them in “Just Life” organic store without any discount. If you purchase it during baby expo, you can get 20% discount and certain online stores give between 10% to 20% discount.

Beautiful Story

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child! 'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

If you agree, please SHARE. Together we can help save precious lives!

JE's Solid Food

JE is 7 months today and I have yet start her on solid food as she has not show any development sign that she is ready for solid food such as the ability to sit upright unassisted, loss of the thrust reflex, the ability to grasp and bring objects/food to the mouth, an interest in food such as watching and mimicking others eating, and grabbing at food that others have. If you are confused when to start your baby on solid, read this article from connectedMom.

I have been thinking what will be JE first food. Avocado! I found this when I browsing through my recipe bible for baby which I consolidate during JC’s time.  I need to go shopping for avocado this weekend and try this recipe on her and see how she react.

Avocado! Is it a fruit or a vegetable?

Whatever it is it has incredible powers. Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat the ‘good’ type of fat which helps prevent heart disease and can help lower bad cholesterol. The essential fats found in avocados are the building blocks of beautiful skin.. They are also one of the best sources of vitamin E which helps with wound healing a good complexion and strong immune system. Oh – and they also have the highest protein content of any fruit…

Recipe taken from Annabel Karmel

Avocados are sometimes thought of as a vegetable but they are actually a fruit and contain more nutrients than any other fruit - perfect for weaning baby. They are also rich in monounsaturated fat, the ‘good type’ of fat which helps prevent heart disease. The high calorie content of avocado makes it a good food for growing babies. Avocado is a great source of the free radical fighting antioxidant vitamin E, which also boosts the immune system. Avocado is easy to digest.

Ingredients

1 small avocado

 

Method

Cut a small avocado in half, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh and mash together with a little of your baby’s usual milk.

Separate incident at home when daddy ask for wet tissue, because there are distance between us, I throw the wet tissue to him and JC saw it and he said "NO THROWING!". I was like speechless....

Another day of surprise!

We were at the kid zone last Sunday, as usual JE was centre of attraction. They were about 4 kids surrounding my hubby and they started to touch JE’s chubby cheeks. JC used his tiny hands to cup his sister cheeks and said “Hey! Do not touch my mei-mei!”

I smiled!
