{Little Peanut}

I was hopping from book shops online last night and found some very interesting books already! The big brother loves reading and since he just know how to read longer sentences now, he asked me if I can get him other cool books! Yup, he said cool! He barely touch his PSP these days because of the reading. I also love it because he’s more interested with books rather than the playing! But of course, he ask me that after reading and playing school stuff. He also have to have his PSP, Wii, PS2 time! Gawd! As much as I don’t want him play those things, I also have to remember that his only 6 years old and he needs to be a little boy! You know how much this age loves to play. I also don’t want him to be boring when the time comes! :)  And the little peanut who’s 8 months loves to just look the colors of the books but he listen when it’s reading time:D

So, anyway, I love this Night Monkey, Day Monkey book! I think the little boy will like this for before bed time stories! It’s 35% sale so, it’s really a good deal! They are the ultimate UK - Books based so, they have almost everything you might be looking for! I really love what I am seeing so far! For a mom like me who loves anything book for my kids, this is where to go! I also like it because they are DVDs and CDs online resource and which means that I can order the books together with kids CD’s too! At least, I can save on the shipping! And a little birdie told me, to take note that they have on going sale right now and you don’t want to miss that!

In the past week, have you spent more or less than usual?
+ The past week was something slow. Not much shopping but I did get the Coach diaper bag for the little boy:D hehe

What was your biggest purchase? What made you decide to buy it?
+ The Coach bag. It’s not only for me though but for the things of my lil boy if we go out!

Do you typically mull over purchases or are you an impulse buyer?
+ I sometimes think first. Specially if it’s over $1K purchases. Besides, I work hard to earn money. But I buy stuff just because I can! And the husband let me too. Impulse? Yes!

Did you enjoy the shopping you do or do you prefer to get in and out quickly?
+ I enjoy shopping if I have money to burn. And if that money is not for something important. Quick purchases when there is nothing to money left!

Nice questions! Now, I”m off to check this acne treatment for a friend:)

Today’s Saturday Social Question:

So, I have no idea what number question this is. My blog and other parts of the site have been non-accessible for over a week (the reason there was no question last week). I have lost many of the posts to my blog due to a database glitch. I have a backup, but it always carries over this problem… Anyhooooo…. on to the question. I am gonna make this easy as my brain is a little frazzled from this past week. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

My Answer:

I’m glad you are back now! I wonder where you were the past week! I always answer your questions when I get a chance:) So anyway, to the question. My fave ice cream is from Baskin and Robbins!~ I just love their ice cream! I love anything from Haagen Dazs too but nothing can top the one from Baskin’s! With 32 or 33 kinds of flavors you can find that will suit your taste!

This week I am tagging Eds

Salivas are everywhere! haha Just last night, I found out that the 4 teeth that was about to burst is there peeking:) A teeny tiny bit in all for of theme! We were all laughing here because the big brother was making fun of his teeth! He’s cranky and icky but still manage to make us smile of his lil quirks! He loves to watch Barney’s! He loves to crawl around the living room still. And did I told you he dances now? Yep, he does! One of these days, I’m gonna record him in video. He really puts a smile in our face!

It was one of our little family’s fondest memory! I could have shared photos but I had a computer crashed the past 2 years ago that all of our “American Tour” photos was lost! I wished I knew much better those days..But I guess, we need to go back right? Even the birth photos of my eldest was lost. But I could tell you little about the city! We only got to spend for 3 days though since we stayed at my hubby’s Aunt in Maryland. We went to Chicago because the husband had a business there. So, what I love most there? The hotel! haha 3 days stay wasn’t enough, I tell you! But since it was a business trip, air fare and hotel accommodation was all free! Wish we can go back there again someday! And if ever we are going back, I’d love to stay more, get to know the local a bit, take tons of photos, then visit the must see areas! And this online travel guides would be a great thing to do! I chanced up while browsing travel related information last night and I have to tell you that I would really like to go back! Then it got me to this page Cypress Gardens Florida which is a must visit too!

I hate them to bits! I mean, who doesn’t? I don’t answer most calls in the house since I hate talking over to the phone! haha Yup, I know it crazy but mostly callers here are just plainly those who want to sell something! Like insurance, credit cards and those stuff you hate talking to when you’re in the middle of something! I’m not rude. There are time for that but not over the phone! My friends knew that already. If they wants something from me, they just call my mobile! But sometimes there are also prank callers that will just waste your time! So, the husband and I was thinking that we will just avail this reverse lookup directory. It’s tracing those prank callers and you can actually know who it was! You can tracked them either they’re using a landline phone or a mobile now! Now, how cool is this new trace number? We want one over here! Check it out too:D

I think I have really abandoned this blog! I have not written a personal post since we got back from vacation. It’s soo hard to update. I have a lot of blogs, you know that already! But I just want to update you with my little peanut! This blog is actually for his development but I have been writing it in my other blog!

But now, I will try to do it in here. Some Mommy stuff and as always random photos! Peanut is exactly 8 months and 2 weeks now! He can stand up on his own and I am telling you any day from now or weeks he can walk! He crawl around the living room. Bonked his head and of course he cries! but what do you expect! Good thing the living room is fully carpeted! He got this baby talk that I think it means Daddy..hehe So cute! He got 2 teeth already. He got 4 or 5 teeth that is about to burst any time now. He eats everything he can ..hehe And loves to eat banana, squash,chicken and lots of fruits! Of course, all of them are being in really small pieces. Sometimes I mashed them to bits! He loves to eat that’s why right now he’s 9.3 kg! He cannot sleep without music and the rooms needs to be very cold..lol He smiles at you when you look at him in the eye. Oh..soo many things to say..I’ll try to do something more next time!

This is what Baby Center says;

… And they’re off! The stages of crawling usually go something like this: from a sitting position to all fours, to rocking back and forth, to finally pushing off with the knees — and then starting to move forward (or back). But there are plenty of variations on this progression. Many babies never crawl. Others develop a crawling style that looks more like soldiers bellying through the underbrush or monkeys poised on fingertips and tiptoes.

Looking very happy and big!

Have a great Monday!
