5th Month

she is 6.65kg 63.8cm

BB [V] is right on track on the 50% growth percentile track. Growing tall and slim, no fatty nonsenses from this girl, she is determined to stay on her diet regime of being a model.

I spend money buying her nice bottles to drink from and you know what! She likes this bottle..



I bought it to try giving her water for her but realized that she enjoys drinking from this small bottle. So much for the Nuks and Avents teats.. She likes a Tollyjoy that cost less than $5... *slaps heads* (think she has the daddy cheap n good genes lol) So I happily bought another bigger one, but she doesn't like that teats, bloody fussy.. she likes the one for drinking juices coz the hole is bigger, so I bought a teat hole puncher, punch the biggest hole and she still don't like.. *plenty money* haiz

Her drinking has improved leaps and bounds, getting out of that weird behaviour of drinking 50-60ml per feed. She drinks 120ml every 3 hours now, that is when I'm at the Tays coz Grandma Clara don't advocate me nursing her. My dear mother likes routine so that she can do her things. So I play by her house rules and pump out my milk when I'm there. (mainly during the 5 days quarantine time)

But other then that she is on total breast feeding, I latch her exclusively when ever she is with me. But I do have a small tiny tin of formula milk for those days I am lazy to pump my excess and that others can feed her while I rest. But that is rarely as if I do so, I will have too much milk in the boobies and I will have to pump out. Then I will have bottles of milk in the fridge that will need to be consume if not it needs to be freezed. I don't like freezing milk coz I will need to use it and it upsets the "milk making machine" causing it to be tipsy turvy.

The minute we hit the 4th month, she started to drop hair, plenty hair...


Her 1st day



Now: her top view


Now: her back view

Like botak Victoria... Not very nice now, I kinda regret not shaving her hair... should have done so, at least it will be growing now. So I'm relying on nice hairpieces to prettify her, if not she looks like a boy. Got her more hair stuffs for 6 mths n older as she is growing out of those she usually use.. (I just ordered more, waiting now, ermm you know me, I don't stop)


Her tulip hat


Nice pretty flower band



This one is for good cause.. for little Charmine Fund.. its handmade.. nice right and not cheap, but for its for charity!

She found her toes this month and actually hardly sucks her thumb anymore. In fact I realized she stop wanting her comfort sucking.



Besides her toes, she enjoys biting and putting any and everything in her mouth. Guess she is starting to teeth soon. It will be a new lot of problems for us as I heard it can be quite bad for some babies.

Yes..She is starting to grab and eat Bam Bam! n Bamz is not happy about it..
She likes to bite her beanie pillow so we bought her...

Sophie the giraffe.! A lil tat expensive but its all 100% natural rubber, edible food paint, n its made in france and it looks damn good! Sad we can't use it in front of Bam Bam for our little monster lurves squeaky toys.. She actually seeks a good time to sneak the toy away and play with it..n I keep having to shout "Bamz NO SHARING OF TOYS!" looks like we gotta buy another one for her..

It is getting really easy to look after her and its great fun too! yeah.. She has finally learn how to play by herself either with her play gym, playpen or on the mat. But she does need people to be around her though and detest being alone. She has started to turn 360 on her tummy, moving out if her mat most of the time. I mean I bought her a big mat but she ends up on the floor everytime! Her greatest joy (and ours too) is the jumperoo, for now she can self entertain for quite while and its good for her motor skills.


This is Margo, and we are teaching her to keep him near, as the dogs, all 3 of them are eyeing on him.

Well June has been quite busy, mainly because Daddy Trev has been flying abouts and I run to Tays for solace as it can be quite mad-ing to look after her for 24 hrs. Daddy Trev bought us this Beco carrier so we can go out on short trips and have a walk with Bam Bam. It is so much more convenient than a stroller some times.. I like the fact it has a slimming effect and that I can nurse her whilst she is still in the carrier.

Me:
I'm dropping HEAPS of hair... :( ALOT!

and the curls are back...
Though most of my friends who have seen me says I look the same as before preggers but there is that nagging few kgs that is refusing to bulge.. I detest the arms and thighs area which is flabby but the tummy area is 'bout flat, at least I don't get a muffin top when I wear my old pre- preggers shorts (which is a big deal). It can get quite depressing when you go shopping and you chose a top or dress of your previous size. But the sales assistant looks at you and gives you a bigger size.. dokz.. fine! But I can't blame them as my old t shirts that used to sit nicely on the hips has since risen to my waist! No tks to my ever growing bosom...

I really need to start shopping more as I feel quite frumpy, basically because I'm always in my jeans, jeans skirt, jeans shorts... I dying to wear dresses more often but I can't as I need to nurse her and it really is very uncomfortable when you gotta pull the dress up.. (quite the unsightly too lar) If I wear nice tops, I have to wear my strapless bra but then I have to unhook so that I can feed her..(quite the cumbersome lar) Then you must be wonderng why am I putting myself in such difficult situation? Because I am a diehard breast feeding mother who believes in giving fresh milk.. :)

Haiz I can feel my body reverting back to pre preggers stage... I had my 1st ulcer in june, it has been ages! Besides that I think the sinus is coming back! I really dread my sinus for its damn bad and I will have to put up with it. (I'm sneezing as I'm writing this entry; no medication for the sake of good quality fresh milk.)

Oh but I did have my 1st glass of wine a tiny one... as I calculated and will be out for more than 6 hours, so I did sip a little in the 2nd hour.. I am so dying to open a nice bottle of french pinot noir from my wine fridge but I think its going to be a while...
