Baby Responds

7:01 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

Not through talking but through actions and her tricks. Though she can already say "mamma" , "mammam" , or even "mommy" she cannot talk yet. Aside from saying such words, she responds and imitates me whenever I shout (of course just only in a little voice, or not that loud), make sounds like "hmm" , "huh" and to name just a few whenever I call her, as well as smiles and laughs at me. Those are just signs of responding me, answering me. That is interesting, isn't it? ;-)

Lately, she also has her own tricks and I do not know where she got it but she does it whenever she gets excited, happy, or sometimes do not like. It is her own way to which I now know. My Sam amazes me!

I will show you her video doing her own tricks or way next time. 'Til then. Have a great Monday everyone!

Things To Do During a Cookie and Coffee Break

10:03 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

So it gets to 11.00am, or 3pm, and it's time for a break. Work's been tough, you've got fifteen minutes or half an hour free, but how to spend that time? Productively, unproductively? Here are some ideas:
First - it's essential that you get the food right. Noone wants to get to the end of a break and realise it's been wasted on bad food and a boring time. You could go to your local coffee shop, which has the downsides of a queue and social interaction, or you could make do with the coffee, milk and sugar in the staff room. It won't taste great but it'll be free.

Now if you haven't gone and bought some food, you'd be hard pushed to find anything worthwhile in a staff room biscuit tin, and if it's not Shelagh-in-accounting's leaving do, then you're stuck. Why not treat yourself and get your hands on a davids cookies discount code ?At this point you're going to need to go back in time to pick something up at home to take with you - or alternatively, if time travel isn't an option, just do this the next day.

Now your snacks are sorted out, what to do with your small amount of free time? One good idea, healthy for both the mind and the body, is to do some exercise. Go outside, go for a walk, and shake off the monotony of office life. You can easily tie in that diet you’ve always wanted to work on with your walk, check out these Weight Watchers coupons here . The fresh air and activity will stand you in great stead to sit in a swivel chair and pencil-push for four hours.
If you get on with your co-workers, then sitting around your desks or the staff room can be a great way to chill out and bond, and one of the positives is that if you need to, you can work through the break, whilst still chatting. Obviously, you might work in an office with people you loathe. In which case, avoid this paragraph.
For a more relaxed break away from colleagues, spend some time on Facebook - catch up on everyone else's holidays whilst you're stuck in Slough. Do some internet shopping - buy some old Cher vinyls just because it passes the time. And finally, for a truly great way to waste many minutes, go on Twitter. Warning: overuse of Twitter may result in losing your job.

A great way to spend a short break (one of the benefits being that you can eat at the same time) is to phone a friend for a catch-up. Phone that aunt that you need to speak to, or your friend who moved to Glasgow. Not only will this keep you entertained, but it's a good way to get off the computer for a few minutes.
What with the proliferation of ITV Player, iPlayer and the equivalent for most TV channels, a good way to get away from it all is to plug in some headphones and watch a show. Good programmes for the coffee break (it has to be using these tassimo codes here of course!)are the soaps, comedies or any old clips on Youtube. Just keep your programme suitable for when the boss walks past.
So grab yourself a cup and a cookie, pick something to relax you and enjoy your break. Before you know it, you'll be back to the grind again...

Can Already Stand in Her Crib Rails from Sitting

10:26 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

Yay! I am just so happy tonight that I saw my baby daughter Sam can already stand on her own in the crib. Yes, in her crib, just about an hour ago and she continues to do it until now. I think she got fascinated of her new journey, that is why she keeps on doing it. Just because she can manage to do it. OMG! Supposed-to-be she should be sleeping now but she won't. Alright, we have to dim our home now and be silent so she would sleep. There are tomorrows anyway to do it again and again. :-)

I feel happy seeing her achievement. I call it "achievement" because she is doing it by herself. Now, it's easy for her to hold and crib rails and manage to stand just in the snap of my finger. Yes, we have to keep the rails high so when she's there standing she won't fall-off separate from the crib. It is okay for her to fall-down in the crib because there are bumpers all-over and the bed is soft and there are only soft teeth-er around which would not harm her. But of course, I do not like seeing her her falling down if not for a "normal" thing. Good thing, she is holding strong. But of course, I am always near her to support in case she feels uncomfortable or in difficult situations. Sometimes, a child needs to experience difficulty to be stronger, but of course, just sometimes.

She can already balance of sitting by her own when she was about six months and now about nine months, she can already stand in her crib from sitting. Doing such by holding the rails of the crib. Happy me! :-) When letting her sit and can grasp the crib rails (even if she's far from it), then expect that anytime from that, she is already standing. :-)

Sleep Aid

7:31 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

Mommy's job is no ordinary. It is just a bonus if she has a helper or a good family circle to help her with the home chores. And not having mentioned the sleepless nights during her newborn's journey at the same she has to do the cooking, cleaning, laundry and the likes . That is a huge job. Now, if you think I am wrong, then I don't know what is on your mind. You must be a mother first or just be on my shoe and then you can judge. Or, ask most of the mommies, if not all of us. Ah ha! Which is which?

When it's on the sleepless nights journey, we just can wish to buy time so we can have a good sleep but then. On the other hand, if it's time to sleep, the opposite thoughts come in. And the jet-lag steals the time-being. Others tend to buy zopiclone online, one of the sleep aids when it comes to science. That is when natural ways won't effect. Or rather, mommies tend to choose such. As for me, I did not yet tried using the pills but I think if I need it, one day I would rather take such than be on the look-out as if always waiting of sleeping time but it's the opposite that occur. It would be a big trouble. So such is an option I would consider to if it would help.

Ah, it's really not easy being a mommy  but it is very much rewarding. It is just that we have to know how to deal with it.
