Followed Nickypoo to City Hall in the morning and walked the shops with Nat while he attended a meeting. Managed to get some outstanding Christmas pressies even though Nat was sooo bored just being pushed in the stroller.
She got so restless at one point, that I abandoned the stroller and just carried her around for 45mins. Not easy! Especially since she's getting heavier and tried to grab all the books I was browsing at MPH. It was a balancing act when it came to paying for stuff and reaching into my bag for my wallet etc. Should have brought the sarong along!
I felt like cooking lunch, had a box of instant risotto lying around at home so I finally got down to making it. Instead of just boiling with water, I improvised on the procedure by adding fresh mushrooms, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and grated parmesan, plus some chicken stock, black pepper and butter. Turned out pretty well, though the dried mushroom flavour was pretty strong and made it still taste very 'instant'.
Shall have to try again, from scratch. I want to re-create the lovely risotto I had at my D&D in July.

Nat's soccer training has officially begun and she appears to be a natural! She loves to kickaround with Nick and seems to prefer her left foot. Will definitely sign her up for junior lessons when she's 4 or 5. Along with ballroom dancing or ballet since she LOVES to dance. Seriously. Anytime she hears a fast tune, she starts bopping, even in her high chair.
Her vocabulary is improving and I think she is starting to say 'ma-ma' and 'pa-pa' with more meaning. When I'm not around, she'll repeat 'mamamama' throughout the day and when Nick's out, she'll call for 'papapapapa', she knows we're away.
And when she says 'meh-meh', I think it's for either milk or water. She knows what 'mum-mum' is too - food! On Friday as I was eating, she kept crawling to me for handouts, each time saying 'mum-mum' and trying to grab my plate! So cute!
Swana and Kevin had a wedding dinner tonight so I babysat Gigi, mostly on my own because Nick went for Novena and Arlyn was catching up on chores. It was fun, she didn't give me any trouble at all. Felt like a pre-school teacher trying to constantly entertain the two babies!
