Alvan on kiddy rides

We had been placing Alvan in those kiddy rides when Adwin asked for money, and if Ashley refused to join in! I believe he got no idea why he's in a seat that is constantly moving or shaking!! Haha...

But it's making my money worthwhile especially when there's some big rides who can accommodate 3 kids and I only need to put in $2!!!

Maid... Maid... Maid...

My current (3rd) maid this year, just informed me that she would like to go back to her agency as she can no longer 'tahan' (stand) my 7 years old Ashley!!!

Her version to me is, Ashley is very naughty and had been rude to her. Her version to the agent is, Ashley had hit her and especially when Ashley asked her to piggy back her, her back and neck all hurts! And she had been bearing all the pain till now! And, why only say it now?? I really do not know... Sigh... Sigh... Sigh...

Maid issue is really bothering me... I had to handle such things and seriously we had not expect to be changing and changing maids like every few months... I even had the thoughts of not getting any more maid!! Be stressful on handling another foreigner at home!! :( but hubby is not keen on my idea... Cos he says I'll go mad and he will go crazy too!!! Haha...

How how how???!!!....

My growing Alvan...

My baby Alvan is growing pretty fast... He's already 10 months now and seems like yesterday that I went to KKH to deliver him!! Am really glad I managed to be his main caretaker this time... Seeing him grow really makes all my hard work worth it and especially when his first word is 'mama'!!! He had started saying his first word when he was 8.5 months old but we know he's not able to link this word to me, as his mother yet! Till now, 10 months old, he will cry 'mama' when he sees me leave him alone in his playyard or when he wants to be carried!!

And since the day he know how to grab himself in the standing position in his cot, he will get up the moment he's awake... And scream for 'mama'!! And it's bad especially when he's in a hammock when he's at my mums place... See the picture here?? He's able to make twist and turns inside when he refuse to sleep and sit up!!

You will never believe how much he loves to stand up!! The moment he's on his own, he will grab anything he can reach to pull himself up!! Even in my bed, he will without fail, move to the headrest and stand up against the pillows!! But I realised, he had been standing and moving around in tip-toe!! I reckon this is due to him being exposed to the walker at an early stage... And with his new playyard around, I hope he can learn to walk in the correct flat feet position and be like his jiejie and korkor, to be able to walk on his own before he turns 1 year old!! ;)
