4th Month

she is 6.2kg and 61.7cm

She is still not drinking milk, nothing more than 50ml each time and I have to keep forcing her to drink, as she hardly cries for milk... drinks about 50ml and is contented, if I don't force her she can go 4 hours without drinking and still drink only 50ml.. How? babies of her age have already progess to 150ml each feed.

I have to constantly latch her just to ensure that something is going into the stomach... PD says its fine as long she is growing well, but did give us probitics to see if she improves. (as there are infant anoxeria babies; maybe she wants to be a model?) Theoretically, bb must double their birth weight by 6 months, so its a good thing is that BB [V] was a big bb at birth thats why its not much of a concern.



Mummy, skinny is IN



VOGUE!

But I did mention that she drinks alot at night asking for milk at least every 2 hours, Pd says that BB [V] is more excited about her surroundings than food in the day and gets hungry at night because there isn't any distraction...(so i have a KPO baby). I totally agree as BB[V]'s eyes are always darting around left right left right,always damn busy. She is not like those babies that can sit in their chair for 2 hours, balls to the world by playing with their fingers.. mine, hrmpfff 15 mins tops, after which she will start her nonsense.



Mummy, I dont like to study!



Jumperoo! yippeee... this is better !

I'm so trying to give her the pacificer since the day when she discovered her thumb! but obviously failed badly.. told PD about it and she was like for what? I said pacificer better than thumb right? but she was like nevermind bb will wean off the thumb. Asked me if the pacificer is working and I said nope, she said I can try all brands but if the bb is not into pacificer means she is not into.. doesnt matter what brand.. okay flopped. Its funny how people loves the idea of thumb sucking, everyone comes up to me and say oh so cute! (cute?? mummy here wondering how to wean her off.. oh what the heck suck lar!)



Mummy shiok u know.. want?

PD is very pleased with her gross motor skills as she is well beyond her age, showing signs of crawling actions. She said that BB[V] is not a textbook baby meaning she does things faster than what the books recommend.

Okay I have a KPO, "Model", Active baby..

Besides the fact she doesnt drink, she hardly sleeps too.. if I'm out with many people , sleep is hardly on her cards as she wants to sit on my lap and hear whats the latest. She loves people, any and everybody can carry her and she will not cry. She is her quietest when there are many people around, best if they are taking turns to carry her, you will never hear her cry at all. All because she is so busy kpo-ing.

But we do make alot of effort to expose her to the grandparents on both sides. I read that babies start recognizing people by 3-4 months. So we have been going up and down to both sides to stay over, so as to make sure she is familar with the family members.

On her 4th month, chinese god ma ask me to "touch" BB [V]'s lips with some food, its some chinesey thing that they perform on the 4th month. Apparently its like "kai jui = open mouth", so that the child gets good food or not fussy with food; something along that line. She gave ang bao again hehehe.. So on that day, ermm we obviously didnt cook, so got her.....



yumms yumms BIG MAC



then we tot a DRUMSTICK will be more appropriate LOL

ME:

The minute we touched the 3rd month, both our hair started to fall out. So I did a slight trim as my long hair was much to heavy thus causing it to drop more and the weather!! Man, its making the hair go haywired cause of the humidity. At the same time i did "soft straight" too, before you all go why straighten your hair? your natural curl so nice blah blah blah.... my hair NEVER GETS STRAIGHT. IT lasted 2days and it back, of couse not as curly but still there lar.



2 days after my haircut.. the waves were appearing...

Its getting easier to look after her though she has her nonsense but she is such a joy to be with. I am still very contended to stay at home with her and don't wish to go back to work any time soon. There are some job offers but I prefer to spend time with her and watch her grow up. We have discuss this and DD T too agree that I shouldn't work as not many people have this luck like mine to do this, so I must treasure this opportunity.
