Funny is laughter…

Funny is fun

Funny is healthy

Funny is nice

Funny is amusing

Funny is comical

A pelt of pranks

Above the normal ranks

Is funny when it is on

Yet quite sad when gone

The moment she is born
She will completely take your breathe away
Tears of joy you’ve never felt before
Not knowing what the future has in store
Suddenly….everything else makes sense.

fav. games for your toddler…

12 to 16 months

Coming to life
Pretend your child’s favorite teddy or doll is real — make him walk, go to bed, or dance across the room. Include him in everyday activities — sitting him at the table for dinner, for example, and putting a bib on him. Talking about what you’re doing will help your toddler with her language skills. Act out happy and sad times, too, so she can learn about feelings and emotions as she’s developing her imagination.

Push me, pull you
If your toddler is pulling herself up and trying to walk, help her practice with a pushing and pulling game. Use a moveable object such as a child-size chair or plastic stacking box filled with soft toys. While she holds the edges for support you can hold the other side and keep it steady. Then slowly pull the box toward you to encourage her to step forward. Soon she’ll start to push while you gently pull. This will build her confidence for the day she finally walks on her own.

Clap happy
By now your toddler can hold her hands open, but it may be a while before she claps independently. For now, clap them together for her, or let her hold your hands while you pat them together. Sit her facing you on the floor or on your lap, and sing clapping songs like patty-cake. These will boost her language skills as well as her hand-eye coordination.

Who’s hiding here?
Just as she loved peek-a-boo as a baby, your toddler will love to play simple games of hide-and-seek. First thing in the morning take turns hiding under the bed sheets; at bath time, use a big towel. For extra fun and giggles you can gently prod her as she hides. “Hmm, is this a leg? Or is it an arm?” Games like this help teach your toddler that just because she can’t see something, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. For a change, while she’s wrapped up in the towel, carry her into another room. She’ll be delighted when she pops her head out to discover she’s in a new spot.

butterfly of my life

my life..

my life..

Crayoned colored wings,
spread across the skies,

Rainbows in space, adrift,
See, she floats and flies,

Winging to some unknown spot,
She escapes what we’ve been taught.

Beauty, flight and freedom be,
her future, her reality.

She’s not grounded by two feet
firmly planted on Earth bound peat.

How to feed your 1 year old child….

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
In the early stages of life, babies feed primarily on breast milk. During this time, all the nutrients required by them are covered by breast milk, which acts like a tonic, satisfying their appetite as well as protecting them from susceptible dangers of many diseases. However, once babies start growing, their nutritional requirements also start growing. The body of the child needs more nutrition to grow. Thus, the diet of the baby has to be rich, providing him complete nutrition. There are some specific foods which should be included and some that should be avoided, once the baby turns a year old. For your convenience, given below is a list of baby foods for 1 year olds.
Diet for One Year Old
  • You can replace breast milk or formula milk with whole milk, after the child is one year old. However, do not resort to low fat or skim milk. It is not good for children, as they need fat for growth.
  • Give your child fruits, vegetables and breads to ensure that he/she gets all nutrients.
  • Grains and dairy products should also form a part of the diet of your one year old child.
  • Feed your child 4 – 5 times a day, because toddlers cannot eat too much at one time.
  • In case of new foods in the diet of the baby, add only one at a time and keep a check for any allergic reactions.
  • Avoid foods such as nuts, popcorn, potato chips, corn, grapes, raisins, etc. These foods may choke the baby.
  • Do not give sweets or sweetened beverages to the baby, as they contribute to tooth decay.
  • Do not give soft drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate.
  • Do not give any vitamin supplements to the baby, as a healthy child should get all its nutrient content from foods. Standard pediatric multi-vitamins may be given, if your pediatrician recommends it.
  • Do not feed the baby solids in a bottle.
  • Avoid giving milk or fruit juice in a bottle to the baby while he is lying in bed. This can develop nursing bottle mouth, which may result in tooth decay.

a poem for baby CJ #0003

Friday, July 24th, 2009

There’s not a sound, there’s not a sigh
As I tiptoe down the hall.
I open up your door and see you
Lying there so small.

Your lips are slightly parted.
Your breathing is soft sighs.
Your lashes make a heavy fringe
Beneath your sleeping eyes.

I brush your soft hair from your face
You stir beneath my touch
And then I pray that you will know
That you are loved so much.

My prayers were answered on the day
You came into this world.
God took a bit of Daddy and me
And formed this precious girl.

His hands will always hold you
And He will be your guide
I pray that you will always seek
To walk right by His side.

A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE

She’s a little bit of sunshine,
She’s a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She’s your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill your years with laughter
and your lives with lots of love
