混血宝宝妈妈八卦贴

Xiaoxi

I guess all the little ones like sucking their toes, please have a look at my daughter enjoying her toes  when she was 5months old.

Xiaoxi

She is a mixture  Her daddy is Aussie with European heritage. Our love story started in Tasmania, hahaha, now we are living in Sydney.

Do you have any idea of writing Chinese on Apple computers? any program you can recommend? Me and my Hubby, an Aussie boy loves Apple computer, so we gave up using PC long time ago. However, when it's time I need to chat with my Chinese friends, I found it will become a problem with Apples.

Xiaoxi

No, I am not Akari's mother, I am Xiaoxi's mother. I do think we may have some similarity between us though.

my daughter does not like to have nappy on, but I insist keeping her nappy on all the time. then, the little rebel either pulls the nappy open or sticks her fingers into the nappy and come out with very smelling fingers  A couple of time, her fingers come out full of her lovely smelly poo poo, I really don't know if I should laugh or be angry. But she is just a 17months old baby, it's mommy's duty to look after her, isn't it?

Xiaoxi

I don't think bet on your baby's eye colour now is a good idea, because the colour will change when they grow up. My baby's eye colour is dark, but not as dark as mine, a little transparent dark brown, a bit like Amber. her father's eyes are light grey.

Xiaoxi

IT's NOT Xiaoxi , I haven't taken Xiaoxi to Melbourne yet, eventhough many of my friends in Melbourne anxiously waiting to see her. I upload a recent Xiaoxi in shower with Daddy photo, you maybe able to tell if I am telling the truth. Hohoho

你的故事到现在还没汇报上来啊，是不是不想让我把你的宝宝归入档案呢？别忘了交功课啊

I am scared!Hehe
The reason I did not submit my story are: 1. I am not good at telling stories; 2. Me and my hubby's story is very simple, not very colourful; 3. My hubby is a very private person, he does not like me telling too much of our family stuff to other people .
However, I have said a little about us before, we met in Tasmania in 1999, lived together about 10years, had a daughter Xiaoxi 17 months. He is working,I am staying home looking after the little one at the moment. How's that?

My daughter likes reading  She likes books, magazines, catalogs, writing paper, etc. She also love music, and dances with music all the time, very cute. I like buying magazines, and she enjoys destroying them.   So, Me and my hubby always read to her, both in English and Chinese, we don't care if she can understand or not, give her some influence every day. We do the samething with music, we play classic music mainly to her, sometime I play Chinese classics to her as well. There is a Suzuki method very popular in western countries, it is " an educational philosophy which strives to create "high ability" and beautiful character in its students through a nurturing environment". I provide the link to you guys, I think it's will be useful to you.         http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_method

Actually, I am a quite lazy mother, and my daughter is quite independent, so I always let her play by herself, I am either lying on the couch watching her, or doing some house works. Until she needs attention, which she demands more and more now a days, I will play with her or read to her or play music to her.  We have later afternoon walk everyday, we go the grassland next to our home, or go to parks nearby, Xiaoxi loves going out to walk around, it make me exercise more too.

  How do you celebrate Chinese New Year with different culture backround?
My husband will enjoy dumplings with me, and let me buy Chinese food for myself. ( He can not eat many Chinese dishes apart from Lemon Chicken, Dumplings, Shallot cakes, so we normally have meal separately; During weekends, he will cook Aussie food for me, very nice, he is a " top chef" in our house ) He will buy me little gift too, because my Chinese birthday is on the Chinese New Year's Eve, lucky me!

Happy Chinese New Year to you all, wishing you a wonderful year of OX, and lots of luck!

This is Xiaoxi's second Chinese New Year, I put on the Chinese clothes on her, she was wearing it last Chinese New Year, she looks cute in the big red Chinese clothes. I send both photos for your guys to share the moment, Xiaoxi changed a lot, didn't she?

We are living a few stations further up from Parramatta NSW, quite a distance to Sydney city. I couldn't drive, my "L" license expired last year, I did not get chance to learn to drive. Before I was busy with my work, then pregnancy, then look after the little one.  Xiaoxi is my hubby's whole life, at least 99.5% of his life , he does not like me to take Xiaoxi on the train ( with pram) by myself, does not like to drive long distance with Xiaoxi on board...... he has a lot of restrictions and rules in relation to looking after the little one. Xiaoxi is our only child, and she is a surprise to us, so my hubby is overly careful about her at this young age. I think probably when Xiaoxi turns two, I might be able to take her to catch trains.

So, eventhough I am interested in meeting all your guys and  your little ones, but at  this stage, I have to put it on hold, wait until Xiaoxi gets bigger and walks more stable. I hope you guys can understand.

I strongly agree with you.
I took Xiaoxi to Shanghai to visit my parents last year just after Xiaoxi turns 1 year. While we were there, Xiaoxi does not like anyone besides me to get close to her, not even her grandma and grandpa, she will cry straight away if she detects anyone's trying to approach her . I have to change my plan to stick with this little tail and not going anywhere for about 4 days, until she starts to get familiar with the strange environment. But we only stayed in Shanghai for 2 weeks, so when she's used to the Shanghaineses, we are about to go home .
Xiaoxi is a strong brave girl, she was very easy to look after since she's born, she hardly gets sick, she does not care much about the blues from hitting the bed, table etc.   So I think the reason she is not comfortable with strangers trying to get close to her is that we didn't allow her to meet too many people. ( Actually, she was a NO Fear girl before she's 1yr, anyone can pick her up, holding her, and she will give you big smile)
The reason my hubby is hesitate to letting Xiaoxi go out too often is the pollution, diseases and crazy people. I think he will start to change when Xiaoxi's getting older.

我老公和你老公的想法差不多，孩子就是要带出去见见世面。
至于火车安不安全，我本人认为Sydney的火车是没有问题的，别忘了那么多人每天上下班，那么多家长带着孩子到City都是坐火车的，可惜我们北区没有火车线 ...

I have been arguing with the dad, my argument is: Xiaoxi has been to Shanghai, she was fine, no sickness, no uncomfortableness, even though the weather is so humid even in September and more dust there than it's in Sydney, Xiaoxi's head was wet all day if I don't turn the air conditions on; her little feet got so black if grandma does not wipe the floor at least twice a day.( my parents live in Pudong, their unit is new,spacious and neat, the environment there is already better than in Puxi where we lived more than 30years before moved to Pudong).  So I said to my hubby that all things considered, she will be fine in Sydney. But since Xiaoxi is the second and the only child after we lost the first one on birth, so I can not take the risk without consulting my husband. I wish people can understand, I wish my relatives and friends can understand, I understand they all very much like to see Xiaoxi more often, however, at this vulnerable stage, we have to play it save.

We Do take Xiaoxi out, we have been to the beach, parks, shopping centers, but the daddy does not want us to go without him. He likes to take bub out to natural attractions, he likes to take bub to national parks, bush walking, flying kites on the hills, playing sand on the beach etc. We will go camping when bub's getting older, it will be very soon:) . He does not like big cities, CBDs, shopping centers are his nightmare, hohoho He is very much a country boy, nothing to do metropolitan.

妞妞刚满1岁，爸爸是新西兰出生的英国人，妈妈现在新西兰一家银行上班，孩子现在在中国和老爷姥姥一起。

My husband won't let our daughter living without us parent around, especially when bub is so young, he insists looking after our bub by ourselves,  so I gave up my job to become a staying home mother. I have suggested leave our bub to my parents in Shanghai when I was pregnant, my husband shook his head like 拨浪鼓, it's an absolute NO NO. He can not understand why people have kids but not looking after them, it might be culture differences, Career vs Family.

这个我知道，我也是开个玩笑了。有个漂亮的宝宝的确让人羡慕，但是自己的总是最好的。如果他妈要跟我换，我还不换呢！
对了，你有没有把我的建议跟你老公讲啊？他什么态度

I haven't got to talk to him yet, will try ASAP.

我也是这么想的。虽然说我们现在一屁股债，但就算生了也不会说把孩子饿死的
我妈的意思是让我过两年在生，可我总觉得不生完它就好象有件事在心里头搁着似的，不好受。不过这玩意，不是说生就生得出来的:si78

If you want another one and you can afford to have another one or two, you should prepare to have the next pregnancy in about 1year time. Some say that it's good to have siblings between 2-3 years apart, it's good for the kids to grow up together.

我就实行袋鼠国的独生子女政策，就一个。我老公说Enjoy our life with the only precious daughter and our dog

Hehe, interesting idea, but if you enjoy your life with only one child, why not. However, I think if I can have more children, I would love to have one more for my daughter, TWO will be a good number, one child is easy to be spoiled. but I am 222 old and already had two Cesarean operation, so I doubt I will have another one, what a pity!

才大8岁，不错了。我老公比我大10岁呢。他36，我26

You are lucky I think, your husband can look after you better, when I was younger, I thought my future partner will be at least 15 years older than me, I like mature man. hehehe My husband actually is a little younger than me( a couple of weeks), I call him "boy". But most of the time, he is more mature than me, I can be a little girl and 耍赖,发嗲 to him anytime.

Akari 头上的东东可是我第一次动手做的，觉得怎么样呢？

The hair band is so lovely, I wish I can make one for my daughter. I bought a hair band from Pumpkin Patch(my favorite kids wear store) when Xiaoxi is 10month old, but she can only keep it on for about 10minutes the longest, then she will take it off!  She hates to have hats, sunglasses, hair bands, hair clips etc to be put on her, she prefers putting them into her mouth and let her teeth give them big bites!

把孩子送回国，完全由自己的老人带看，别说你老公不理解，我都不理解啊，倒不是说不相信老人，只是怎么可以忍受的了这样的分离，不能亲眼见证孩子的成长真的会是终生遗憾，更何况孩子无论什么时候都是需要母爱和 ...

Thank you for your support! The time I spent with my daughter makes me believe that it's not only parents' duty to look after your children but also beautiful moments and memories which you can never have it back if you'd missed it, never!

我觉得父母在这里帮忙搭把手就算了，完全交给她们带好象过了点。父母带大我们就已经很不容易了，好不容易熬出头了，却还要带我们的孩子，年纪也大了，太辛苦了
不过我能理解那些如果自己实在没办法带的，只能把孩子 ...

We brought up our daughter by ourselves all the way since Xiaoxi's born. My mother needs to look after my father in Shanghai, my father is old and weak in health, he can not live without my mother. My husband's mother is in Tasmania, his father is not in Australia. My mother came to visit when Xiaoxi's 3month old, I felt such a relief with my mom around, Xiaoxi got along with my mom so well, my husband said my mom is really a very good mom. So, I envy your guys having parent around to give you helping hands, especially if we considering second baby, our parents' support will be a very big and deciding issue.

今天给小gary游泳了，她平生第一次下水游泳，没想到他还没喜欢的。可惜不知道是不是游泳池里的漂白太刺激了，他今天晚上身上就发出来一块一块的红色的点点，真让人看了又着急又心疼。:si133
