Her current favourite song. Three Blind Mice.

Claire loves Mommie singing nursery rhymes to her. I sang to her everyday, even when I am back from work.


Here are a list of them.

1. Twinkle Little Star
2. itsy bitsy spider
3 Three Blind Mice (Her top favorite now)
4 old macdonald had a farm
5. row row row your boat (but i changed the lyrics to include seeing different animals along the stream, instead of life is but a dream)
6. and other nursery rhymes

All all these songs, Three Blind Mice is the only song which she will AUTOMATICALLY sing together with me. Take a look at this video! Hahahahaha, so cute.




Cheers,

How to make Baby Claire laugh Part 2.

On this typical afternoon, I decided to continue to blog what makes little Claire tickles.

Still remember my first part about how to make your baby giggle? If it doesn't work, what about the following?



4. Drumming with her

Back when she was 6 months ago, I realized that she loves to smack her green chair. So I drummed a few rhythm for her, and encouraged her to drum too. Too, she can't really drum to the beat, but she was truly amused by it. Currently, she is not into drumming, but smacking or hitting things with whatever is in her hands.

5. Blowing bubbles on her body

Baby Claire loves blowing bubbles at our hands, legs. Anywhere where she can grab and hold you. Dunno where did she learn this. I guess when she is younger, we also tried to blow bubbles on her belly and she picked it up! I feel that she is trying to make us giggle when she does that. You can just look at her expression. However it is a messy sight when she tries to be funny during lunch (*Just happened today) which I sternly told her no. If u are lucky to get bubbles from her, it shows that she really like you. :)

2. Playing peekaboo

These couple of weeks, Claire loves to play a little hide and seek with me hiding. I will then suprise her with "peekaboo" and she giggle over it.

I also chanced upon this slideshow if you want like to know what are some ways to make your babies giggle.

Linking up with Adora :)

Fun on our bed with Baby Claire

Just ended my 2 weeks leave and back to work this week. I've taken these days off so I can spend quality time with Baby Claire and at the same time giving my in-laws a good break. :)
Instead of talking about my usual routine at home, I prefer sharing what I love to do the MOST at home with little Claire on a typical day.
 
Claire is not exactly a baby who loves going to bed to sleep. Neither is she a fan of walking up. She will cry when she wake up from her sleep and I guess that's her way to say, "Hey, I am wake, where's everyone!??" since she is left in a room alone during her day time naps. 

Recently, we also find out that she fights sleeping at night. She will start crying when we put her down on her cot at night. Justin Papa thinks it is separation anxiety from Mommie. We tested it on Sunday night where Justin Papa carried her out from her cot, and was not able to pacify her until she saw me. And when he brought her back to her room, or somewhere out of sight of Mommie, she will start crying. Now, we are trying to find out ways on how to overcome this challenge. 

So in order to ease her anxiety, I will let her play with me on our bed when she wakes up from her nap. That's like a little playground where she learns to crawl, fall and recently sitting up. She dares to do a free fall, I mean really a hard fall and still smiling after doing that. Luckily, she is clever not to do it on her playmat. Else "bump"!

Here are some of the fun photos taken last week:

A short video on her having fun with me on our bed.

 

Did I mention that she loves to be tickled and to be sing to especially three blind mice? The picture below shows that she was singing together with me with this song. Hahahaha, I will share a video on the song on another blog post. Stay tuned!

Cheers,
