13th Months

okay .. not there 13 mths yet but......

SHE IS SCREAMING ...

Damn sian you know.. its supposed to a two year old issue right? But no lor.. The minute she turned 1 yr old, we realized a change in her temperament. She started to be more vocal and started saying 2 syllabus words, the 1st being BUBBLES. Then she started to scream... so I thought its a phase right? NO.. its has become so bad its embarrassing to carry a 1 year with such horrible behaviour. I mean people do give chance to a 2 yr old right since literature says its just them to behave like that right?

She will scream when we take things away, scream when her food is not to her liking, scream when I do things too slow, scream when its time to leave the playground in school, scream in the car for freaking no reason.. the list goes on....

I read up and its due to the fact they can't talk and is in fact communicating with us... I know very well she wants to talk but hey little one you are ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!! for crying out loud lar....

Its really a test of my patience.. really. Then there are the days she decides to be an angel and you cross your fingers and hope it has passed but in the end comes back with a vengeance. I know what I was getting into with a high need baby, she is hardly on track with those month to month explanation of a baby.. I usually read at least 5-6 months to pre-empt her behaviour but this round its a total year... :(

Lin her JG teacher told us that its obvious that BB[V] is one baby that is very mature for her age. Confident, vocal, loving... and that we must be doing something right for her to blossom so well. Then when I told her about her screaming, she was like oh well she is not surprised that she is doing it now... for she advances way before her peers and is not surprised if BB[V] comes back next term TALKING.

Terrible Twos will pass, to be replaced by Terrible Threes, Frightful Four and Fives, Scary Six and Seven, Petrifying Prepubescents and Torturous Teenagers... it a LONGGGGGG road ahead. Whatever lar... drained...

Other things about her: She is getting real attentive in class, when she was in the holiday program in JG she will crawl around and disturb babies and teachers. But now she sits on my lap listening to the stories and puppet shows, like a big gal. She started to make actions when we sings songs, dances like swaying her body left and right, bending her knees up and down.

There was this morning, she woke up, started planting kisses on my face.. not normal kisses.. BIG LOUD MUAKS MUAKS... those who have meet her recently would know she loves to give blow kisses.. loud ones keke... she also like to hug us, especially from the back.. sweet

She is really walking around, hardly crawling now... I think I managed to get a video of her crawling during her lunar birthday just for keeps, for I doubt she will ever crawl anymore. Her shoes has a parking lot at our shoes mat for its dirty now :( and she MUST wear her shoes everyday.

Bf has taken a back seat now, no longer on demand but at least once or twice a day. Though she sucks me dry sometimes when she sleep but what the heck. We started giving fresh milk for her tea now.. not too bad. She no longer keeps food in her mouth like a chipmunk and started to spit out the foods if her mouth is full. Eats strawberry and grapes as whole with skins, no longer need to cut into smaller pieces. Even fruits like apple and pears, I will give it to her in halves without skins and she will slowly bite her way. She eats her veggies, I mean I give her the leaves to show her what veggies are. I don't hide her greens...

She can't sleep through... yet.. not everyday lar... if she sleeps longer than 4 hrs I panick and check on her keke.. there are days she crashes 8 hours and my boobs will be bursting and I WAKE her .. no win situation manz. She sleeps like from 930-10pm to the next morning 10am, though there are days she wakes up at some unforgiving timing like 6-7 am... we just switch the TV, let her watch MTV or DVD and we tell her we wanna sleep. So she will sit between us and watch for about an hour and she will tap me or DD T. Then either I latch her or DD will pat her back to sleep. This one I got no complains... I was told I'm looking younger than I was in the past coz I guess I get great sleeps regularly :)

I can TOTALLY understand what you are going through. LeAnn is just like V. She screams and throws tantrums when we take things away from her. She's acting like those spoilt brats i hate. Arghh. Talk about proper upbringing. V is already very good! LeAnn is not understanding like V. She doesn't allow us to sleep. V will be watching TV for an hour while you guys sleep. LeAnn will scream the minute she wakes up. Sigh! I'm always telling her that I'm so afraid to have a second baby because of her. =)
