Seating arrangements

So, in the last few weeks, we made a few purchases for little Jaz. First of which, is the Yellow Bumbu seat on the left-left. For the pre-kid people, its like a little foam chair for infants, to help them sit down much easier, and most importantly, for parents to be able to get stuff done. Well, normal things like cooking, dish washing, bottle cleaning, while she busies herself....engaging in baby activities :) We finally got this Bumbu after 4-5 unsuccessful garage sale visits for 50% less than retail. These things always sell like hotcakes!!


Next up, we swung by our local Big Lots (What we like to call "Da-Lu" in Mal-Chinese, and swept up another gem of a find! A Graco high-chair for $60 new, vs $89-99 @ Target. It took 5 minutes of joy-filled adrenaline pumped euphoria of deal-find to put this thing together. Jaz, on the other hand, was not so easily impressed... She'd rather just chew on her favorite clean-cloth diaper. No worries about giving any objects that resemble toys, she'd rather pick up her cloth diaper and chew on it! At least its easier on our pocketbook!

What do ABC and Twinkle-twinkle-little-star have in common?

So, what do these 2 songs have in common? Twinkle-twinkle-little-star & ABC? Other than the obvious part that they are children's lullabys... Its interesting the little nuggets of wisdom we pick up these days as parents, sometimes these things just jump out of no where!!!

Still don't know what they have in common?

Slow Summer Day

Its 12pm on a Sunday afternoon... Yeesin's not feeling too good today, so we're home today resting. While poor YS is lying on the couch under a tylenol induced cocoon, i spent some time on the "internets", just surfing... Found this interesting article that seemed appropo for today. Ever since Jaz was born, we've been practically out every Sunday for some reason or another. Its either to weekly Babies R' Us runs, or Asian Grocer, or regular Grocery laps. Admittedly its.... different to sit at home for hours on end, just watching Jaz, and laze around on the Net or watching yet another History Channel episode on Stonehenge... :) I have to say though, it really felt good to SLOW DOWN, so that article must have some truth to it! Hope YS feels better tomorrow!

Speaking of watching Jaz, something interesting happened today while we were lazing around... Here's a clip of that!

Jaz is 10 weeks now!

Little Jaz is 10 weeks old this week! Definitely more curious about her surroundings, she discovered her hands this past week, for the last couple of days, she's been trying to cram her entire fist into her mouth....
Even better, she also discovered smiling... Couple of pics to illustrate what we did with her to get smiling away! :)

As a bonus, also will share the aftermath of all this smiling and playing activity.... ;)

Jaz is 8 weeks now!

Its 8pm on a Thursday night, trying to juggle getting Jaz ready for a shower, and winding down for the evening, catching an episode of "Lost". We can't imagine now how much spare time we had before even having a baby! Honestly tho, Jaz is more entertaining now that the television, so life is actually better! ;) Sharing a few of her cute pics. (at least cute in our minds.... )

Grandma is sound asleep in the guest bedroom... hope that our little one didn't wear her out after a full day of activities. Its wonderful still having help around the house, having family watch her while we are out working. BIG thank you to Mom and Yeesin's parents for helping out in the house while these 2 newbies figure out how to bathe,feed,clothe, and clean our new addition.... If only they come with owner manuals!!!

WAIT, apparently they do! Check it out here
