I love your smile when:
I stroke you on your cheek
You look so satisfied after every feed
You are having fun at bath time
We play with you
You entertain yourself by stroking yourself with your mitten hands
You are entertained by the noise from the TV
We are sitting in Daddy’s car and how you are fascinated by the different lights as you look at the window
You tried to go “coo coo” and “ga ga”
Ever since baby came along, some of the words that we speak has changed to double syllabus.
Milk = milk milk
Pain = pain pain
Bathe = “pom pom”
Pee = pee pee
Poo = poo poo
Full = “bao bao”
Brought baby for her 2nd dose of vaccination for Hep B and she weighs 3.66kg now and has grown a little longer at 53 cm.
Nurse says everything is normal and in the acceptable percentile.
Baby & Mummy finally came home to their love nest at AMK last Thursday. As is a new environment, baby needs to get adjusted so Friday & Saturday were terrible. Baby keep crying and want to “pao pao” and didn’t sleep much in the day even after being fed, bathe and her diaper changed.
Put her in the cot or Moses basket, within 5-10 mins, she start crying.
But the funny thing was she behaved herself well during Sunday which was her full month party. She didn’t really cry much.
Well, the last 2 days (Monday & Tuesday) was more manageable, at least she slept a little more and I managed to have a quick bath.
I hope that she be getting easier and easier to take care and there is no need to carry her so often (in case it turns into a habit for her) and of course she will slowly learn not to cringe her face till red when she cries.
We realized that Baby like to poo poo at one shot, which is not a bad thing, at least we don’t have to waste so many diapers.
Usually, her poo is so mega that the whole poo will cover 70% of her diaper. Occasionally, it will overflow until the side of the diaper. The only bad thing about “MEGA” poo is the poo is so smelly and we don’t have any place to dump the wipes on the diaper after cleaning her.
The party just ended 3 hours ago and both Daddy & Mummy are super tired.
After all the guests left, Inez who has been on good behavior (as in not crying a lot, of course, so many people took turn to carry her) started crying and this crying turn to wailing cos she is demanding her milk. Even during the day when she wants milk, she didn’t cry so loud. It causes Daddy & Mummy to wonder if she really loves crowd and noisy places and we also wonder if she don’t like us. (hahaaa)
Anyway, we had a great time catching up with the different ones and are blessed with both mums who made cakes, jellies, kueh for the guests.
We want to thank all the uncles and aunties for all your love gifts, ang pows and blessings. We really really appreciate.
Po Po says that my mummy is not a crybaby when she was at my age. I cry very loud when I demand my milk or when I want a hug hug. But my mummy don’t cry as loud as me & she don’t have volume 1 to 10.
Also, Po Po says my mummy is a good baby who sleeps thru the night. Even when her nanny wakes her up for milk milk, she will continue to sleep. (Is that why mummy is so thin? 
)
That’s our first few differences.
MIL has always been the one who bathe baby since I started confinement. Today is the 1st time that I bathe her on my own cos MIL went to help take nephew to doctor.
So, I figured that by the time she gets back, it probably be too late & near baby feeding time. I decided to do it on my own since I have to do it when I get back to AMK.
Everytime I look at how easy MIL does it, I must say experience counts. By the time I finished dressing baby, I’m already perspiring like nobody’s business (fan off & confinement is hot). I guess practice makes perfect and that’s when my confidence will grow too as I bathe baby more often.
I wonder if baby does take longer feeding time as they demand more milk milk.
Baby feeding time when latching on has increased from the initial 20 mins to 30 mins. But I noted that in the last 2 days, she seem to take about 40/45mins. But it includes the time that she fell asleep and it takes quite a while to wake her up.
What I don’t like about latching on is they usually fall asleep while being fed and baby sometimes like to suck the nipple and I have to open her mouth and remove it.
I admit that beyond “Twinkle Little Stars” and “Bah Bah Black Sheep”, there is no other nursery rhyme or children songs that I’m familiar with. While coaxing baby to sleep one day and she’s getting agitated as the weather is also very hot, I ended up singing in tongues to her…
Does it seem to work? Hmm.. Yes & No ba… At least, it’s something that she’s familiar with (being exposed to singing in tongues 3 times a week).
