乾淨又滑溜

試了clarisonic兩個星期,效果不錯.第一次試用了在臉上,又用了在左手前臂.讓老公感覺一下左右手的分别,他即時分到左手滑溜很多,原來不是幻覺.初次試用隨機附送的gentle cleaner,很乾淨又不乾燥.幾天後我試用BE的洗面粉,效果更佳.還未試用其他兩種clarsonic的cleaners,用完現在這支才會開它們.
皮膚開始更有光澤,毛孔也清潔得很好,與只用雙手清洗有很明顯的分別.這是第一次感到皮膚這樣清潔,塗上護膚品時,皮膚好像海棉一樣吸收,完全沒有誇大宣傳的效用.It's a keeper.

7 months old

Alexis is already 7 months old. She starts to notice the surroundings more and likes to look at strangers. The cutest thing is when she feels shy, her little arms hold around me, turning her head toward me but peeking through in 2 seconds. She likes pee-a-boo so much and giggles loud. It makes me laugh too.

We let her tried to use a straw to drink on the day she turned 7 months old. Wow, she mastered it in 2 minutes and enjoyed it a lot. She loves to drink from a regular cup the most but I perfer the non-drip slippy cup for now, at least for the sake of clean up.
She has been "da da da" a lot and makes a lot other vowes that I can't recall them all. Enjoying the unknown words of communication, I will remember all these moments with my little precious.

clarisonic 送到

等了幾天的Clarisonic Mia終於送到家中,未充電之前按捺不住要試試刷頭,好軟的刷毛,好舒服呀!第一次用之前要充電24小時,好心急想試在臉上(我己經愛上它了,雖然還未真正體驗).我估計最後mia會"讓給"老公,然後買plus.這樣就由頭到腳都可以清潔滑溜,好似日日做完spa一樣,護膚品可以吸收好一點,化妝又易上一點.我相信這將會是另一沒有買錯的產品,試驗之後再向大家報告.

pull up

I woke up Alexis in the morning for breakfast a few days ago, she was so happy to see me and held my hands to help herself sitting up as usual. As soon as she sat up, she started to pull herself up in a continuous motion. She made me realized how strong her little legs became. Actually she has strong legs all along since she was inside me. She always gave me hard kicks that were so uncomfortable (sometimes very painful) in the third trimester.

Now, she is like showing off her strong legs all days long. Reaching for my hands to hold hers so she can sit and stand up. Still working on her crawling, getting better and better, her belly can lift up an inche from the ground now. I am kind of convinced that she may stand alone or even walk before she can crawl. (she knows how to move left then right legs since she was 2 weeks old)

Love being a mom and spending all the time with my loving family. I think God put me in the best position I can be. So blessed and thank you God.

Finally bought the Clarisonic

Saw it on TV for a while and heard it is a great product, however the price tag for a cleaning brush is quite expensive. Really want the Clarisonic Plus (because I kind of want the body brush) but I ended up ordering the Mia. It is a traveling size Clarisonic, very new to the market and the price is much more reasonable. I don't really care about the speed mode and such, the reason for wanting the Plus is able to do the body too. Eric said I should order the Plus but I can't stand the idea of paying almost double the price for one extra function. So, I ordered the Mia to try it out and hope Eric will not steal it from me (a lot of men use it and love it too). Maybe I won't mind if he steal it because I will have a reason to buy the Plus (if I like it that much, haha). I can't wait it to be delivered.

enjoy making baby food

Alexis finished her 1st baby food a month ago, mother-in-law made her some peas and it tasted much much better than those prepared one. (even I don't like peas, I like the one she made). So I decided to make her food by myself. The next day, Eric and I went to the store and bought some fruits (her favorites : apples and bananas, I picked a butternut squash to try too). We went home and started chopping them in very small cubes, steamed them and ground it. She likes them all. And mommy likes the butternut squash so so much (my god, it is so tasty, I want to eat them all).

I don't know why people say making your own baby food is cheaper. It is not the case for me at all. But at least I know what is really going in my baby tummy, and it is much fresher and tastier. I made some more baby food yesterday since we only have apple sauce and banana (one of each) left. I made some carrots and pears this time. The pears are just ripe, I love them so much. The carrots are really sweet and the bright orange color is so going to catch her eyes. I need to make some more apple sauce later, I got a 10 pounds bag and hope it can make quite a lot. Love making the baby food. 🙂

母女購物記

自從成功帶囡囡去診所,隔了一星期我終於有信心帶她去街.當她一吃完早餐,我就駕車外出.第一次去了costco買wipes,路途其實頗遠,幸一路順風安全回家,她只是在回家途中累得哭起來,但一兩分鐘後便睡著了.第二次是去超市買餸,目標是在她要小睡前回家.當我們入到超市,她已經開始疲倦,我盡快地完成購物清單.但在等候付款時,囡囡已累得要命,想睡但又想看周遭的新事物,結果第一次在購物途中發小脾氣.幸好我一抱就安撫了她的情緒,可憐想睡的小傢伙,一上車就睡著了.

一連三天我們都外出,今次去了買電動牙刷的刷頭,還看了新玩具.本來打算影相問問老公意見,誰知新的iphone 3G S竟然顯示無sim card???(心想:每次換新電話,都只是我的有問題,不會又這樣"幸運"嘛?又話新的好過舊,還未夠十天就有問題…雖然是老爺奶奶送的,但全家的新iphone都無問題,為何又是我 — 黑仔王)我嘗試開關機三次,最後一次我輕輕地拍在手上,終於回復正常.但囡囡這時已經開始不耐煩,收銀處還是回去買玩具,都是先回家.

第四天老公留在家中上班,又是晨早會議,可憐;但我們可以一家人吃午餐.爸爸趁午飯時間,帶寶貝和我去買玩具,新的鼓和peek a block,兩樣她都很喜歡(媽媽想買block給她很久,嘻嘻).
