Our MRT day out and more...

After months of staying at home without too much of a social life, I've decided to go on an adventure! Not many of my friends are mummy yet. Those who are either stay too far from me or are working mums. So I decided to find new friends.

Against all hesitation and anxiety, I ventured out of my comfort zone. I decided to take Hannah on a MRT ride. Just the both of us. To meet up with a mummy friend. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. After feeding Hannah, we took a slow stroll to the MRT station which was just a stone's throw away from my place. Then we took a train to Tampines One. Simple. Met up with my friend and her baby boy who is 2 weeks older than Hannah but at least 1.5kg heavier! Had lunch, went shopping, had coffee and cake at tea time before taking a train ride home again before the peak hour crowd came by. Hubby met us at the MRT station and gave us a ride home.

It was enjoyable and it gives that immense sense of satisfaction knowing that I have overcome the obstacle of fearing the unknown. A sense of pride knowing that I have inched closer to the great word 'INDEPENDENCE'. And of course, liberation. Being able to move out of the house definitely takes away all sense of feeling 'trapped' at home, 'losing the much-valued freedom'...
And all in all, it was a great experience. I will venture to more places soon. Probably meeting my friend at City Hall next week. :)

Independence... it is a great word. I will blog solely on that one day. Not today. More updates for today.

Hannah had her first solid! I decided to buy the rice cereal last week after her fussing in the middle of the night but I haven't mustered enough courage to kick-start the new phase until yesterday. It was a very fun experience. I only fed her a couple of mouths full and decided to stop since it was the first attempt. Hannah enjoyed it (I think...cos she was smiling and flapping her arms up and down). Today I tried again. This time finishing almost the entire portion. Well, it wasn't that much. Just one teaspoon of rice cereal with milk till watery and thin consistency. I tried it too! It wasn't too bad. Sweet and refreshing! :) I will not be increasing the amount until she's 5 months. (which is next week) And then will see how it goes along the way. So far it has been rather successful. She shows contentment with the food in her mouth. Come 6 months then my long- planned -recipe can be put into good used. Looks like we are entering a new phase again!
