<br />
<b>Johnson's baby <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.dailyglow.com/body-care-product-picks.html" rel="dailyglow" target="_blank" title="Body Care Products">Skin care</a> wipes</b><i> ultra sensitive fragrance free</i> cost us 159.00php for 80 pieces of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Textile">cloth</a> wipes that will only last for a week or less. Despite the price, it took us months to risk other brands because Johnson's brand proved their quality especially when it comes to moisturizing baby's skin and strength. Cloth wipes made by Johnson's are soft and moist making it ideal to use in cleaning baby's bottom. We are also using <b>Johnson's baby messy times</b> that is gentle for cleaning <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Chun" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Wing Chun">sticky hands</a> and face during meal time. one of the items listed on my post <a href="http://tim-charlotteivymarie.blogspot.com/2012/02/must-bring-for-babys-day-out.html">"Must-bring" </a><br />
<br />
In search of a new brand of baby wipes, we wanted it to be just exactly like of Johnson's--soft, moisturizes baby's delicate skin, strong, not so thick; but cheaper :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0m4VLs6aqQeIdhHHGbztibfQ2vWfHt9rQFO6Iv9UYYPcVYNwpID5S2GgAv9uNmEOIo5g8z9Td4pREHJv1JxCDHEghh0wgcX6fOU0c7jhZ4BugrgrkGvtZqzfGpIcVgu0CCUwqh_9BzVc/s1600/wipes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0m4VLs6aqQeIdhHHGbztibfQ2vWfHt9rQFO6Iv9UYYPcVYNwpID5S2GgAv9uNmEOIo5g8z9Td4pREHJv1JxCDHEghh0wgcX6fOU0c7jhZ4BugrgrkGvtZqzfGpIcVgu0CCUwqh_9BzVc/s400/wipes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
A few months ago, we bought Unscented<i> </i><b>Nursery Baby Wipes</b><i>. </i>One pack has 66 pieces of alcohol-free and silky soft cloth wipes. Each wipes are thick and strong but not as soft as Johnson's, they're not as moist either. They can be ideal for home use but not for baby's delicate skin. I am actually using them to clean toys, cribs, spills, and even in dusting my laptop keyboard *grin*<br />
<br />
Yesterday we bought another brand to try on. <b>Pure Joy</b>, one that is formulated with <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/aloe-vera-topical" rel="everydayhealth" target="_blank" title="Aloe Vera Topical">Aloe Vera</a> and Vitamin E. Its cost is less than a hundred pesos (~89php, correct me if I'm wrong, I lost the receipt) for 80 pieces of alcohol-free powder scent cloth wipes. They are thick and are strong enough that I cannot tear then into half. I usually tear-off Johnson's wipe into two to maximizes its use. One piece of cloth from any brand is quite big that you can't actually use all sides because when you clean baby during diaper change you only wipe once, you don't wipe repeatedly to and fro; you have to pull another piece if needed to avoid spreading baby's poo and wee. The most common of infection among baby's is using only one piece of cloth wipes, rubbing the same wipe to clean the whole area.<br />
<br />
Pure Joy baby wipes looks reliable. I'll find out if buying a pack of baby wipes that is cheaper than Johnson's can help us save. Today, our dispenser tub of <b>Johnson's Baby Skin Care</b> wipes needs a refill, we will use Pure joy :)<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Diapers become part of our everyday life; becoming a parent
only means adding diapers on the list of our basic needs other than supplies of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_formula" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Infant formula">milk
formula</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_wipe" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Wet wipe">baby wipes</a>. For modern young mothers”, gone are those days of extra
work loads for caretakers in washing soiled cloth diapers—unlike with disposable, all
you have to do is to roll the diaper into its backsheet, fasten to keep it
close and dispose! Gone are those days of a smelly baby room because you got
one pail of wet and dirty <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Textile">cloths</a> in one corner, gone are those days of beds
soiled of urine and poops, gone are those days of using <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_pin" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Safety pin">safety pins</a> that is
still risky for active babies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, Cloth <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diapering" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Diapering">diapering</a> has gone a long way and it is rather becoming more popular nowadays. We actually wanted to try using cloth diapers.
My partner asked me once “what can we get from cloth diapering?” I told him “they’re
cute! They come in prints!” *grin* More than the stylish prints, I know cloth
diapering can save us a lot. I sometimes free baby from wearing diapers for an
hour or two (only after she poops) because she wears diaper 24/7! Wearing wet
diapers is actually bad despite what the diaper companies promised us with a
12-hr dryness and great absorbency. We don’t actually wait for 12 hours before
we change one diaper after another; we
change every time the baby poops, after bath, we change when going out, we
change when baby woke up from a nap, we before bedtime—making us consume an
average of 10 diapers in 24 hours, spending nearly a hundred everyday just for
baby’s diaper. That is too much already. <br />
<br />
Other reason why we want to consider cloth diapering includes:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentally_friendly" rel="wikipedia" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank" title="Environmentally friendly">Environment-friendly</a> and with than it can l<span style="text-indent: -26px;">essen feeling of guilt for filling the landfills with materials that will take hundred of years to break—our daughter is not the only baby who wears disposable diaper and I am not the only mommy who does the throwing.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Washable/re-usable</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">They’re no longer use safety pins or diaper
clips, </span><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaper" rel="wikipedia" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank" title="Diaper">cloth diaper</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> also comes in buttons and tapes</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Using cloth diaper gave us and the baby a reason
to potty train earlier</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="text-indent: -26px;">However, we are still using disposable diapers because it will
cost us a bit in order to get started. The last time we checked it will cost us
around 600php for a piece of cloth diapers and we cannot be using only one
piece </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -26px;">J</span><span style="text-indent: -26px;">
it will worth a try though.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We resolve to find a disposable diaper that has all the
quality of the one we used to have but only cheaper. During her first month,
Ivy used <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.pampers.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Pampers">Pampers</a> New Baby. They are soft, perfectly fit for baby thus; we never
had problems with leaks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We then switched to Pampers Active baby (I copied
product description because it is factual)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>

First pick: "winny diaper" we heard from a friend. Accordingly,
it is more of the “active diaper” likened to that of pampers product and it is
1.50php cheaper than pampers. I tried searching search engines and I was lead to
winnie the pooh products and diaper bags *grin*. Its no popular. We
bought three pieces to try on.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first impression:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It looks bulk—yes! baby became a bumble bee</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -0.25in;">J</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It got cute prints, a teddy bear. Although one piece of it has, a teddy bear
printed upside down </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -0.25in;">J</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
not a big deal.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Not so soft back sheet cover, likened to a thin
paper</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I have no idea of the product, it is for me to
find out </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-indent: -0.25in;">J</span></li>

Ivy’s impression:<br />

Instead of playing Ivy keeps on touching and pulling the diaper to the point that she unfasten the tape of the diaper by herself, it even tear-open when she moves a lot. wearing this diaper made Ivy madly irritated. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
My view: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It also absorbs fast! And it keeps baby dry</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It is not meant for Ivy because Ivy isn’t the
child who will just sit down in a corner to play, she moves a lot. The diaper easily tears off as she plays.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">That bulky look I mention above became even
bulkier and creates lumps, I mean LUMPS! hard ones! A lot of
lumps making it uncomfortable for baby to move</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It only took an hour and thirty minutes (even
lesser) for urine lumps to developed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It’s not cheaper actually. A 1.50pho cheaper to
be used for an hour is way too expensive when I can use pampers active baby for
a longer period. I tried three pieces and each of them lasted for only an hour. Failed.</span></li>
</ul>
We ended up buying a bag of Pampers Active Baby the next
day.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ll try other brands next time.. I'm open for suggestions. I'm looking for a diaper that could make baby comfortable but cheaper <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
early this afternoon members of the Beta Sigma Fraternity gathered to talked for this night's event, 35th Anniversary to be held at our place...<br />
<br />
Nothing is actually unusual, we are surrounded by frat men thus to hang out with them is like part of our daily routine. They've became our "neighbors" in a sense they're always around us. Everyday we talked to them, laugh with them, hang-out with them because we are part of them.<br />
<br />
Some tend to call Ivy a <i>Betan <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Infant">Baby</a> </i>although there is no such thing as that. Having a Betan father and mother (even grandfather and Uncles,yes we are all members of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Sigma_Fraternity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Beta Sigma Fraternity">Beta Sigma Fraternity</a>) will not make Ivy a Betan in an instant, and I am praying she will never be one of us. Joining a fraternity will neither make you less or will complete you a person. I hope I can make her believe that joining a fraternity has nothing to do with her life, and how can i possibly explain to her when we are all members. </div>

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;">This is what I'm believing: </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Summer is not just about being sun at its highest, its not actually about the time to clean the filter of our air conditioner unit for it to function fully, and most of all its not about a blushing cheeks because it is way too ho. Summer means kissing the sun and going places. There is a breezy-windy warm life beyond an air-conditioned room.</span><br />
<br />
When sun is at its highest that is when the fun peaks!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.nuffnang.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/the-hunger-games-movie1.jpg" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let not the sun stop us from making fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Making good memories under the sun calls more a maximum skin
protection.<b> “Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion. We’ve got you covered”</b> can be of
great help. We may enjoy summer even without this kind of products, but summer can be a well spent summer when after the fun we don't worry over sun burnt skin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, we can't spoil our own summer adventure just because we forgot to
shave the night before our activities, too much excitement can make us forget. Years ago during one of our summer vacations my friend tend to shout "whoever fails to raise their hands forgot to shave" and we all burst out with laughter! It was funny but this kind of summer disaster is too common. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><b>"Schick. Free your skin." </b>and free you from worries as well<b>:)</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Love summer! Make it cool! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And again, my ideal Nuffnung Summer is exactly like this one, only this time I want it to spend with my own family. </div>

Week is about to end; after lblogging on how thankful I am being a stay-at-home mom, I might as well join this blog hop <a href="http://www.the-mommyhood-chronicles.com/2012/03/saturdays-top-five-laughs-come-join-our_09.html">Saturday's Top 5 laugh</a>.<br />

Because it is indeed a week filled with laughter and fun...</div>

The Top five moments that made us laugh this week:<br />
<span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. The pillow game never failed us. My daughter
loves it when I encircle her with Pillows. She burst out with laughter every
time we play this kind of game. Her faces during the play make me laugh each
time I remember. To read about our pillow game </span><a href="http://tim-charlotteivymarie.blogspot.com/2012/03/our-version-of-pampers-play-play.html?utm_source=BP_recent" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">CLICK HERE</a><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. She is such a tease. Our neighbor find our daughter
adorable that she tend to hug our baby so tightly, rock her hard, swaying her, and
touch her all over! In return, Ivy would rather turn away every time she is near or by just hearing our neighbor’s voice, sometimes pull her hands off when she is touched. It can drive my daughter mad that she
scream rather than cry in fear. This
morning after Ivy cried because of our neighbor, because of "you are so adorable baby" Ivy seems to find way to get
even </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">J</span><span style="text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
She called neighbor’s attention by raising her hand as if she wanted to tell, “Get
me! Get me”, but every time neighbor gets near Ivy would turn away and
giggles. WE all burst out with laughter</span></div>

one nearest her crib and babbles continuously. I find that too funny, oh my! I’m

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">4. My daughter </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">doesn't</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> want to be disturbed every single time she poops. So yesterday, I
intentionally put my child in her crib so she can play without me worrying that she
will fall from bed and to give her a silent moment as well. Suddenly I sensed her she is poop-ing. When I went near,
she readily holds to the crib railing like saying “no! Don’t disturb me, I’m
not done yet!”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It is not how life is; it is how we see our life. Being
thankful is a good start to make our lives even more meaningful. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">There is no such
thing as "SMALL thing". Some photographs are meaningful even it is
just a plain stone or it was a worn-out stuffs mainly because most photographer
know which side/angle to capture. Life is beautiful, the world is beautiful,
and every day single day is a blessing. Small details left unappreciated
although in reality they are the ones that made GOOD-BIG-THINGS possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For the past months, I have been considering to pursue my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgraduate_education" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Postgraduate education">post-graduate
studies</a> and practice medicine in the nearest future. I only have to complete
two major subjects to become a medical clerk but for some good reason I finally
decided not to. I just have to deal with “losing my identity” issues as well as being alienated from the outside
world for staying at home and be satisfied with life just by watching a baby
grow, noting all her “first-time-moment”. With that, it is not actually about
losing identity. It is more of switching identity from a supposed professional
working mother to a certified <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housewife" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Housewife">stay at home mother</a> who is available 24 hours in
seven days a week—no day-off! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It all started with "I knew I love before I met you..." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How could that possible be?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know... but it is possible</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And when I thought I know so much about love, that includes unconditional love</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was only until my daughter arrived that it was truly defined</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And falling even more in love each passing time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How could that possible be?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know exactly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All I know? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is possible</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-left;">I Just found a sweet way to express how much I had fallen in-love with my daughter. Listed below are the 10 song (my personal pick!) that will do the musing for me...special songs I can fully relate with as a mother.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">How hearts can come together</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">I wonder what God was thinking when He created you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">I wonder if He, He knew everything I would beed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">Because He made all my dreams come true, when God made you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">He must have been thinking about me</span></div>

If the tears are small, you can fix them with heavy-duty cloth tape. If the tears are large, you may need to replace the product.</span></li>

Make sure the mesh is securely attached to the top rail and the floor plate. If staples are used, make sure they are not missing, loose, or exposed.</span></li>

<br />
I am Inspired by the '<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.pampers.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Pampers">Pampers</a> Play Play Everyday' Activity guide wherein <i>Pampers</i> demonstrated a series of activities for babies aging 9 months to 18 months making use of pillows and other stuffs you can actually found inside your home.<br />
<br />
The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="DVD">DVD</a> has 10 Episodes. We got a copy of it free from Pampers Active we purchased months ago. The playtime course focuses on activities that could help baby's development and movement skills--<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Motor coordination">coordination</a>, balance, control, motor planning and more.<br />
<br />
<b>Episode 1</b>: <i>Baby Ball Kicks</i> aimed to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chess" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Glossary of chess">develop</a> unilateral coordination and torso control<br />
<b>Episode 2: </b><i>Hotdog Ride</i> aimed to develop dynamic balance and baby's ability to stay calm<br />
<b>Episode 3:</b> <i>Sausage Roll</i> aimed to develop motor planning, child's ability to envision an activity and see possible body movement as well as bilateral coordination<br />
<b>Episode 4:</b> <i>Choo Choo Train</i> aimed to develop the core muscle control as well as the upper and lower body coordination<br />
<b>Episode 5:</b> <i>Baby Ball Toss</i> is also for motor planning and body awareness so baby could understand how his body works.<br />
<b>Episode 6:</b> <i>Choo Choo Train</i><br />
<b>Episode 7: </b><i>Baby Mat Mountain</i> aimed to develop dynamic balance<br />
<b>Episode 8: </b><i>Mountain Climb</i><br />
<b>Episode 9:</b> <i><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_tasting_descriptors" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Wine tasting descriptors">Round</a> N' Round Ride</i> aimed to develope baby's ability to hold a mental image or object s or people knowing that they are still present even when out of sight.<br />
<b><i>Episode 10:</i> </b><i>Baby Tunnels</i> for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial-temporal_reasoning" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Spatial-temporal reasoning">spatial awareness</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Depth perception">depth perception</a><br />
<br />
Since baby is way too young for the activities in the video, I have to make my own version.<br />
<br />
I created a 'pillow mountains', two pillows high arranged in a way that it will encircle Ivy enough to protect her...Our mattress then became her giant gym.<br />
<br />
Ivy enjoy pulling herself up seeking support from the pillows around her, struggling hard to cross over the other side especially when she can see interesting objects she can play with, and at times we ended up to hiding-seeking-and-chasing game :)<br />
<br />
Our humble room is filled with giggles and laughter every time.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The MARIE biscuit all my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has not changed, while I have grown</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through childhood days to plain housewife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through all the years it has retained</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s simple flavour, mildly sweet, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While it’s texture has remained</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To make a biscuit good to eat.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="content style6" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For babies and toothless old men,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">MARIES will do equally well</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Given one, two or even ten,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">While at home or on safari,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As biscuits come and cookies go,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The MARIE stays on each one’s list</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">What makes MARIE so appealing?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Is its crisp and mild, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sweetness">sweet taste</a></span></div>

Aside from giving her instant cereal every morning, I guess preparing her a spoonful or two of lugaw every day should already be a part of my daily routine--an ideal way to prepare her for a family diet.. hmmm... from a plain lugaw--thicker lugaw with strips of meat and veggies--to soft cooked rice! that sounds IDEAL!<span style="color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVWud64i8i4vK5AS3rqfnGOg-yeepaUQQ8ISRQURU5YbuHH3Dp5XyqW20e4Xo35_NMuqEp1Wf668DsmHXPmi4XAwMwaklav5xE5DAr88xYJfvroRUPBoYhs6HGBX9PmwpxjMxY9eY_kfxd/s1600/Slide4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVWud64i8i4vK5AS3rqfnGOg-yeepaUQQ8ISRQURU5YbuHH3Dp5XyqW20e4Xo35_NMuqEp1Wf668DsmHXPmi4XAwMwaklav5xE5DAr88xYJfvroRUPBoYhs6HGBX9PmwpxjMxY9eY_kfxd/s640/Slide4.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span><br />

Moreover, I can't be mean taking something she like playing the most, her interest to learn new things is way important to me. I recently lost some files and enabled the "lock Key" and had a hard time fixing all the shortcuts and function key.<br />
<br />
My solution is not to keep my baby away from my laptop, I search online instead and luckily found this <a href="http://www.mostgear.com/en/Baby_Keyboard_Game_Screen_Saver_Detail.aspx">Baby Keyboard Game</a> in my intention to find a baby keyboard product/if buying a toy that is similar to a keyboard would be a help (I know a lot of Mom is anxious over the same issues). But this one is way better! all I have to do is to click install, double click the icon on my desktop every time baby gets bored on our 'lesson' (phonics slideshow/nursery rhymes/kiddie shows) and control+alt+Q when she is done. Very easy!<br />
<br />
My baby can actually learn her ABC's and 123's while she is having time. In anyway, my rule on teaching my baby to learn all those is not to pressure her and just have fun.<br />

When she is hungry she either cries or show eagerness to food by opening her mouth to the spoon. with that, she now know how to refuse to foods whenever in full stomach--she pushes nipple and food out her mouth and turns her head away from spoon.<br />
<br />
Her present diet includes formula milk, biscuit, water with caramelo, and instant cereals. Today we decided to introduce Banana :)<br />
<br />
Banana is the most common food to introduce to babies six months and beyond. Since Ivy been introduced to solid foods a month ago she may now be ready to add another solid food. We chose banana over any other fruits and vegies mainly because of its soft consistency and its availability all year round. We had some at the fruit tray :) Experts recommendation for Bananas as baby food is due to Vitamins (A, C, b6, and B2) and minerals (potassium,Selenium, Magnesium, and Calcium) baby can have. We will be introducing solid foods slowly.<br />

Add "Convenience" on why Bananas are best solid food for babies. So easy to prepare! it only takes one ripe banana, a regular pork and a bowl...<br />

apart from the "celebrating for the sake of celebrating yesterday, I was actually looking forward to buy the 366 fairy tales book by brown Watson--to read Ivy one story everyday throughout the year; and two sets of Barbie flash card alphabet...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To my surprise, the book was printed in a very small font and each page has three columns that makes reading painful! designed to be read everyday like of a daily devotion :D thus stories are in somewhat summarized and is very short except for the first story for the first day of every month. Not bad at all! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the Flashcard, I intentionally bought two sets not for showing Ivy one by one but they are for our wall:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my hope to make our room intellectually stimulating environment for our growing baby :) the cheapest way and easiest way I guessed--A fancy flashcard, scissors, double-sided tape and time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A personalized wall, I spelled Ivy's name: C-H-A-R-L-O-T-T-E-I-V-Y-M-A-R-I-E using the flashcards, the rest of the cars randomly lined Ivy's name:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In time, Ivy will be familiar to her name, how to spell, and later on will learn how to write...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stayed late the other night designing our wall...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I put the all the letters of her name in arc form and also added pictures of Ivy in group as one barbie picture, two barbie pictures to four barbie pictures...</div>

tried from play and fun time Ivy went to sleep then, allowing me to go online to update our facebook.. too excited to post the above picture to show our relatives she now plays.<br />
when she woke up after an hour we went downstairs to watch tv...She was such a good girl, we were just there sitting while she babbles as if she wanted to say something.<br />
then she went back to sleep again...and because she had plenty of sleep she woke up with a gummy grin...<br />
