I contemplated if I should start the inevitable toy buying phase because it's a slippery slope to accumulating more baby stuff and turning our pristine home into a full blown childcare centre. But as I see poor Lucas waddling on his mat, chewing on the legs of his soft toys, I felt my heartstrings tug and decided to invest in some "educational" toys for him.
The Early Learning Centre sale could not have come at a better time. Storewide 50% had me really excited. I remember how Ferragamo sales got the pre-mummy me all hyped up. Never would I have imagined that children toys can have the same impact on me.

These are what I picked up for Lucas. We went to the Seletar Mall branch and found it packed with young parents.
Total damage, $208 down from $416. Our purchases got hubby and I really excited! We might have more fun with them than Lucas! I'll probably keep the 2 larger ones for when he's able to stand.

While we're at it, I've decided to get some colourful books to read to him as well. I doubt he knows what they are but I'm hoping that the colours will entice him! And it gives me something to read to him as well!
Lucas seems to be biting everything in sight, which may be due to itchy guns. Hence, I got him his first ever girlfriend, Sophie! So far, they seem to hit it off pretty well! ^^

My iherb purchases arrived! Since Lucas is now 6 months old, it's time to bid "free food" adieu and welcome the myraid of puréed food and cereal. The bulk you see here is mostly for outdoor feeds. I think it's better for babies to eat home prepared food because honestly, how can jars of baby food that expires in 6 months ever be "preservatives-free"?

PS: Tried and tested the munchkin spoons. Love love them! Makes feeding so much easier!
On the other hand, Lucas prefers puréed food to rice cereal. I got this Gerber one from iherb because it's made in the US. Nestle Cerelac (commonly found in NTUC) is made in Malaysia. This is purely personal preference, not because I think Nestle Cerelac is bad. I've read that babies do not usually like rice cereal. I think I'll have to resort to more coaxing in the meantime.
To get $10 off your first iherb purchase (min $40) or $5 off for purchases less than $40, feel free to use the code GUJ608!

That's all the damage done for now! Mummy needs to go earn more moolah now :(
