this week, she has alot of "new patterns" forming! she not only talks more, but she started to sit with her legs crossed! caught her the first few times and i tot its just for that moment but when i got her on the bed with me, watching tv, she kept her legs crossed for a very long time! the camera was just right next to me and i managed to catch her little feets and see how comfortable little R is when she is watching her disney channel! i am her human sofa - mummy had loads of fats to support her! she could keep her legs cross for quite awhile! oh i love that pipi face!
Dap took half day and she came over and we planned to make some hazelnut macaroons that we learnt from class together! Ann came after school to give dap her wedding invitation but she didn't joined us baking thou... i had some catchup with dap, but we were mostly looking at Rachel, dap was playing with her and my little darling is so fascinated with dap's accessories! mostly i shared baby R's milestone and pipi stories!
just before dap and i start baking, i needed to do a spa treatment for little R.... Coffee Bath. yes... coffee bath... Kopi Oh was prep for bathing Rachel. Asked mum what to do to help Rachel sweat less... cos whenever Rachel drinks her milk... when she is done, my arm is filled with her sweat... very sweaty head! surprised when mum had a remedy and its from my Popo... mum said that most of us (my siblings and cousins) went through this treatment when we were babies. it helps to reduce sweaty head and body... i did it once last Saturday... but didnt have batt to document it... with dap around, she helped me take some photos of baby R's Coffee Spa. baby r didnt like the dark waters the last time round but she quietly sat thru her spa the last time round... but this time, not sure if it was becos dap was around or maybe plus the camera is clicking while she is bathing, or worse pissed becos all the adults were laughing when we saw her blur + dun like the black water face that made her looks so cute... poor little R burst into tears... i got dap to leave us awhile, comforted her and explained to her the benefits and she stop crying, but i made the spa end fast.
sis was curious if this coffee bath really works, if its harmful for baby, what can coffee bath really do... so we searched the internet the next day and i decided to put my find with this post. below's info are extracted from articles found on the web. sis and i were surprised with our find! pretty interesting! didnt say it helps to reduce sweat problems but read to find our the beauty of coffee spa!

(Did you know that coffee is chock full of antioxidants? This is precisely why it is a wonderful ingredient to use in any beauty treatment because the antioxidants can be topically absorbed into the skin so that they have the ability to neutralize free radicals. Just to update you, free radicals do have the potential to damage many of your cells below the surface, contributing to premature age and disease. To stop these problems before they start, use the natural antioxidant benefits of coffee in your spa treatments to keep your skin looking as fresh and as young as possible. Your skin will thank you!)

(Benefits of Coffee in Skin Care: Studies have shown that a skin care products spiked with caffeine, lowers the risk of skin cancer in mice. Applied topically, coffee is chock full of anti-aging properties and a potent antioxidant. The grounds of your average coffee bean can help you reduce the signs of aging by fending off blemishes and acne, exfoliating, reducing fine lines and making your skin feel clean and baby soft. Research has discovered that the caffeine in coffee may be able to guard your skin against cancer. Coffee's beauty benefits are well known in Russia, where the banyas, or public baths, have served up coffee-ground massages for years. A quick rub down with the magic bean on damp skin prepared the bathers for a session in the sauna by gently exfoliating the skin and softening it with rich oils. It's so invigorating, you may just decide to skip your morning cup of java and head straight for the shower. coffee's connection to beauty is age-old. And antiseptic extracts from the wild coffee plant were made useful by Indians years ago to effectively help heal dry skin, cuts and abrasions, and even snake bites. Native women in South America used ground coffee beans as part of their beauty regimen for years, due to its exfoliating properties. Coffee also has the same pH balance as human skin, which is why it helps protect against acne and blemishes. It also has good cleansing properties. )

Lucky for me, my dad came home just in time to carry my little gal who refuse naptime! and i got to bake with dap! to think of it, we were pretty fast with our co-operation and its bcos i bake or make desserts with Dap quite a few times and we attended 3 classes together! she is so nice to take half day leave just to come see baby and me. i appreciate her taking her precious time to spend some time with me! Thanks my dear friend!
while the hazelnut macarons are baking, we played with one of my new bakeware that i got in July! with the leftover fondant, i rolled out and stamped cute cartoon characters on it and placed it on yummy chocolate chip cookies! they turn out very pretty! we kept waiting for the Ting from the oven and constantly ran to the kitchen to check on the cookies. they turn out a little sticky, the bottom got stuck to the parchment paper! then i recalled we used silipat in class! too bad my silipat is at home! having not enough hazelnut made the cookies alittle sweet! but it was still good as the taste of hazelnut is so nice when i popped them into my mouth! esp when they were still sooooo warm! R is always so curiuos - whats in the box, whats in the bowl, whats for dinner! Evidence? sis gota get her attention by calling so many times to get her to look at the camera!
Daddy missed baby r alot today. We called daddy to make sure he got up for work and daddy called back even way before lunch. he was driving to meet his client and he gave us a call! daddy miss smelling baby r! but we didnt go back with daddy as we stayed on for another nite! Daddy got alittle upset with baby R as she wants me more than him.... daddy got jealous! tried to pacify daddy and told baby R not to be mean. she kept crying when daddy carry her while i was away to get nitefeed stuff ready! told her to say sorry and she sayang daddy lightly on the face! yes she sayang daddy cos she didnt scratch his face! Its Aunt S' actual bdae and i got her a cake with ann's help! baby r loves bdaes! dun know why, maybe R knows its last nite at Popo's house, she didnt sleep till past 11pm! i had a super long carry session to get her to close her eyes to sleep!!! when i tot she is deep sleep and wanted to put her down.... she cried loudly and i gota start all over again!
November 12th Thursday. thou she had a very late nite, she woke up early as she loves seeing everyone before they leave for work. thou popo was in her working attire, she still brought lit R out for a short walk before leaving for work. little R is pretty quiet when she watch her cartoons! she will just sit quietly and dun want to be disturb! but she is not an addict! she sat pretty still on her own without herself knowing it! then she as usual, stretched her muscles and roll on the bed!
its was time for me to do alittle pack up. not only i got baby's stuff to bring home, but my very own collection of books, my toys, my precious childhood stuff, photo albums to a whole set of kitchen ware! my esprit kitchen ware that i got years back is still untouched over the years!
