This year is my 30th birthday..OMG!!! Time flies…Now i am already a mother of two, sometimes i really cant believe it but i am glad that God gave us two really adorable and healthy kids and we are really blessed to have them. Although there are times that they are really mischievous but they also bring us a lot of joy.
Today i cooked them salmon porridge, it is a simple porridge that is full of goodness and all mums can easily whipped up for their kids. First cooked some rice together with carrot and sweet peas (all cut to small pieces depending on the age of ur kids), then when is it almost cooked, add in the salmon pieces. For kids that are not able to chew like my precious little son, blend the porridge and they are good to go. Surprisingly my son loves salmon and he ate all of his porridge so i am quite pleased, cause this is the first time he is having this so initially i was worried that he wont be able to accustom to the taste.
ย The first pic is the porridge for my 2 year old daughter and the second pic is the blended version of it for my 7 months old son. yummy yummy! full of omega 3.
There are varying information as to when can your kids start eating fish, some says 6 months(http://www.babycenter.com/408_when-can-my-baby-eat-fish_1368510.bc) and some says after 1 year old (http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/introducingfishtobaby.htm). Actually it mainly depends on allergy, if you have history of allergy in your family or your previous child had allergy then it is best to wait till the kids are older before trying out fish, otherwise it is quite safe to start them at 6 months. afterall, it is really a good source of protein and omega 3 for the kids and i felt that there is no point of withholding it unless it is for a good reason.
today i actually gave my son 2 new food, after that only i realise that i should have waited at least for a day before introducing a new food (yes, i know recommendation is 3 days :p). anyway like i mention earlier, there is no history of allergy in the family and my daughter has no allergy so far (touch wood!), so i felt that it is pretty safe, hehe… but next time, just to play on the safe side, i should wait for at least ย a day… anyway, my son really loves the cherry that i gave him today…. ๐ yum yum!
so, for my birthday today, hubby came back early from work cause he is not feeling too well. after a good rest, we went out and bought my birthday present… hehe, and i am using it to post the first blog on my birthday ๐ really love this slim and nice macbook air…. very good quality and pretty laptop, just that it is a bit pricey… so must save more money from now on, cant spend so much lo…thanks my dearest for willing to splurge on me <3
quite happy that there are some free gifts that comes with the laptop, a giftpack consist of a palmguard, a keyboard protector, a sleek case, a mouse (which we top up about $19 to upgrade to a microsoft mouse) , and a mini display port to HDMI connector which we asked for it.. (they gave us the belkin one that cost $49)
we also had dinner at sakae sushi and we sign up for member today, it is really quite a good deal. the membership cost SGD 38, and there is $28 inside, $20 rebate on your birthday month, 1 complimentary red plate which cost $6.28, free green tea on every visit (for member only). and for the cash rebate, there is no need to use in full. e.g.: if your bill is $25, you can use up $25 and then keep the remaining balance in the card and use it on your next visit …so that is really cool.
ok, time for me to sleep so that tomolo can take good care of the kidssss ๐ night!
