Faythe is now 8 months 3 weeks+…very long I’ve not updated on her progress. So decided to post it here, cause I’m so bored on a Sunday afternoon (daddy working again!!), just finished my office presentation slides and Faythe is downstairs playing with maid.
1. She joined the National Service(NS) 2 weeks back – hahaha…MIL bought her a bunch of army baju from Mothercare..including shoes and hats. And there she is, doing her crab crawl. Why we call crab crawl is because she doesn’t like to crawl properly, but instead stick one leg out like a crabby…She can crawl pretty fast if she’s not crab crawling…chase Mommy from living room to dining room
2. She got a new sleeping mate – that’s the little Monkey daddy bought from Bangkok. Every night when it’s bed time, Mommy will put on the sleeping bag for her, then pass her the monkey…she will hold and hug it and off she goes to bed. Lately Mommy teach her to sayang Monkey…so when we tell her sayang Monkey…she will pat and sleep on the monkey..cute scene :)..Sometimes she even try to hold the monkey and at the same time cruise in the cot. Yes she can cruise, but only few steps..but that makes Mommy a happy woman hahaha…
3. she eats ice-cream? – Yes she does…she has tried green tea, chocolate and probably some vanilla…She loves it, and sometimes she shows funny faces..probably because of the chilly feel. But what happened on Friday was a total mess…Daddy suddenly decided to give her food to play. A bar of chocolate coated vanilla ice cream from tesco. She started holding the ice cream and realise it starts melting. At the same time it’s so cold..then she had fun putting her dirty hands all over the floor..messed up her baju!! In the end all the ice cream melted, but she didn’t eat any of those…And daddy ran away *evil of him*. So Mommy got to clean up the mess with Kakak..bath her again and Kakak got to mop the floor *Mommy cursing Daddy* #)@(#)@(#)@(#
4. She sleeps by herself..in the morning nap – Yup, Mommy trying to train her for self-sleep-morning-nap. She’s trained to sleep herself at night since 2 months…then she started not wanting to sleep by herself few weeks back, but after we came back from Bangkok, MIL had conveniently trained her to sleep early, and of course, Mommy won’t miss the opportunity to let her sleep herself again hahaha..But for morning & noon naps..she never did really sleep herself, always have to be rocked!! So I tried to train her during the weekends for her to sleep herself during morning nap…So far so good..before she falls asleep, she has the habit of moving all around the bed (MIL says like a maggot) to find the right spot…once she finds it..she’ll just fall aslepp..and when she woke up, she got a cock hairstyle (kai kung tau) hahahaha..See told you she loves the monkey..sometimes when she wakes up, she will attempt to baby talk with the monkey.
5. She has good eating habit – Drinks milk 2-3 times a day (5-6oz). Porridge twice a day, she actually can wallop the whole bowl of porridge if she’s in good mood *if the flavour goes well*, if not, usually she finishes 3 quarter or leave a few spoonful behind. The record was she finished a whole bowl of porridge + a jar of baby food at one go!! Other than that, she snacks on stuff like Nori Seaweed (her fav.), bananas (can just bite, don’t even need to mash), papayas, mash potatoes, apples, pears, Yakult yoghurt drink (boost lactobasilus bacteria), tofu. She also loves drinking from straw, not that she can suck from straw, but Mommy drops the drink from the straw into her mouth hehe..Cheeky little girl, she can even pose for me to take pic hahaha… I hope she will continue to enjoy her food and won’t be picky later.
6. Waiving Bye Bye – yes..she can do this since 2 weeks ago!! Mommy thought her how to waive bye bye for some time, probably like 1 month ago, but she never did..always kakak have to take her hand and waive. Then one day when we were leaving MIL’s house, she waived bye bye to MIL when Mommy said “bye bye grandma”. Wow, MIL so happy, immediately kissed her..and she of course got so excited lah, since then everytime we leave MIL’s house, she will happily waive bye bye to everyone. The only person she doesn’t waive bye bye is Mommy, weird!! Now gotta teach her other stints kekeke…
I weigh and measure her length on Friday. The mark is at 8kg and 72cm. Happy Faythe, Happy Mommy.
Wow, you got her so many soft toys, later she has no space in her cot.
Time flies and now she has grown up so much.
I guess I can’t have all these joys with my son… LOL!
yeeee… so clever, i envy mommies whose baby sleeps off by themselves… Ivan has yet to learn that coz maybe he’s too pampered by Sutini (maid), must gimme some tips too coz most times when he’s not ready to sleep and we dump him into the cradle he’ll just buck and scream
Faythe is growing well, and her kai-kung-tao is so cute.. she really has a good appetite. 😛
Hey, watched out for the ice cream, it contains raw egg yolk. Anything raw (non-plant base) may not be good for babies.
Yee Ching didn’t like soft toys..I have puppy pillow and teddy bear for her, but she throw away all, and doesn’t like to hug bolster as well…. all she wants is her blanket.
P/S: How do you measure her length? Last time I made mistake on the measurement by measuring her from head to toe.
Aiyo, Faythe no more space liao lo…..too pack with soft toys.
she looks like a cute GI Jane in that army outfit of hers! so cute!
mich, huisia: hhehe no lah..oni a few, the rest are mini ones, i use the bigger ones to put at the side when she sleep as cushion.
egghead: sure u have some other joys which u don’t share with a daughter 🙂
sue: heartless is the answer 🙂
jefferene: i measure her using a tape measurement, either while she’s sleeping, or when she stands against the sofa, I’ll mark the height and measure.
agnes: hmm no u remind me..ok, no more ice creams!!
dinah: hehe thx..now i wish i studied designer, design baby cloths hoh..so much fun 🙂
eh… my sentiments exactly… it’s times like this (having a baby) that i think i lose out not knowing how to operate the sewing machine or sew, for that matter… imagine the fun!
wow, ur daughter veru cute…!!
Jefferene: Get those measuring chart (stick on the wall kind), it helps since you gal knows how to walk already. I do that for my children every other month. Now I have a history of their growth.
Wah, your faythe very “kuai” lah. My Brendan is like a monkey and he always asks us to pat him to sleep!! Sometimes, he’ll pat us to sleep!!
She’s grown so much now and is developing at a quick rate.
Must get tips from you and train my gal next time.
Remember the day u became Mrs. Hon? Whooo, how time flies, Faythe’s going to be 9 mths lor.
Hee, hee, Faythe got a Monkey for a sleeping mate liao ke? So she ‘kicked’ mommy and daddy to one side lor. (hee, hee). Destinee has her “Pingu” and mommy as her sleeping mates.
sue: yah totally agree with u..it’ll be so much fun 🙂
milly: thx for visiting
sharon: sometimes oni ler, sometimes she’s oso very jahat one..like I told sue, heartless is the answer..I believe in feber method 🙂
tracy: wah got pingu somemore..so nice hehe..got smell or not huh
Faythe can really eat! And she’s really cute in army suit…
