Since the beginning of Apr...i have been keeping myself busy going to the Parentlink Centre @ Huntington Hills community centre...every tues noon for Baby & You drop-in sessions...ware Darius gets to make new frens n i get to meet other mums...there are many toys for babies to play with...playmats...exersaucers...building blocks...etc...n they even have the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo which Darius likes but mummy cant afford...i managed to make frens with 2 mums...n we even arranged to meet up for coffee or have strolls at the park when the weather is good...

i also registered myself for free programs held by Calgary Health Region...every wed mornings for the Baby & You for Mums class ware we learn baby care...and also a Parenting Workshop for Newcomers every Mon noon...

starting end of apr i will start to bring Darius to the Mother Goose program which has 10 sessions all abt singing nursery rhymes n playtime n storytelling for the babies...i hope Darius will have fun with all the action going on there...

well...i might seem like a paranoid parent going for all these programs n parenting workshops...apart from learning my other objective is to make some frens here n jus get outta hse...want Darius to learn socializing nw...n i know he enjoys looking at other babies n seeing other adults rather than jus mummy all day long...

ever since i took the 1st step to break out of my shell n try to adjust n adapt to the culture here...i find myself more positive n happier...knowing dat there are many mums out there in the same situation as me...

Darius will b 5 mths old next week...so i have been experimenting to see if he is ready for solids...n it seems like he is quite ready but nt sure hw he will take them...will video his 1st solid meal in my next post...hehe...

He is actually sucking n biting the apple as i saw bite marks from his bottom teeth...












Throw the ball !

U like my smile !?

Look grandma...no hands...!























Thumb lick'in good !


















Solids starter kit...

Pictures tell a 1000 words...

Baby dAriuS is fOur months old...!

I cant help but say again...time flies too fast...the newborn dat used to only sleep n feed is getting more active n having more actions nw...
seeing his 2 bottom front pearly whites erupting more n more each day...makes me excited to start him on solids...

apart from seeing him grow physically which is obviously changing so fast...i can feel his emotional development as he starts to be aware of how pple ard him is feeling...like when i'm angry he knows it and will stop his nonsense...when i'm upset he will brighten my mood with his smile...when we quarrel he will cry to protest and make us stop...

@ birth...
