Baby Way totally nailed the sign!
The only thing left to do is actually get everyone to respond by bringing him to the toilet... Not just take off diaper and cueing him to go lying down... Especially in the middle of the night...
That's more challenging than teaching baby sign language. Don't you agree?
At 5 months 2 weeks and 2 days! It wasn't there yesterday. Today is 24 Jun 2015.
No wonder he was cranky and sleepless past few nights. I was on the verge of collapsing yesterday. Luckily turned in early and recovered this morning.
After milk he grabbed my index finger to gum and that's when I felt the new teeth graze my finger... Sharp. Ready to eat!
And this morning, he called Mammee!!!
To-date, his vocabulary includes Mummy, up, ok and loads of babble new sounds. He loves it when I go "nom nom" on his sides or armpit.. He'd smile and laugh aloud. He's also starting to smile when it's 5 little piggies time. Fun!
He's also rolling further.. off the playmat but he'd stop once on the floor, because it's hard. Off the Queen mattress onto Ning's single. He's so active! Hmm... Wonder when I need to reconfigure my living room for crawling baby... Next month? Exciting!
Ning was unhappily watching TV sitting on the edge of the play mat. She said she wished there was no baby, so that there is no playmat, then she can pull out her table into her usual spot right in the middle of our living room, and TV. I suppressed my response, on telling her not to say or think such unkind thoughts and tried to make her more enthusiastic about the mat by saying she also can lie on it watch TV with cushions and pillows. The Baba immediately killed whatever joy she was beginning to see in that by saying, "If tired, then go in and sleep, not watch TV." Lougong, when you were young, did you always sat up or stood up to watch TV?! Please be fair lah, lighten up. If it's late, then ok. But if it's her TV time, what's wrong with lying down?
So... As I was saying...
A newly cleared study area dedicated to my Mummy's dearest, Ning's academic pursuits! Homework laid out in plain sight for her to 'clear' before play!
Limited space, otherwise would prefer her to face the white board. We can always pull it out to face her when it's required.
Lighting, will see how she uses the place, then improvise along with her.
Will need to cordone off living from dining room, so that the space to make baby friendly is also limited. Now I can pull out more baby stuff for baby. And Ning can have her space!
Not sure if this will work, share a pic of your kids work spaces? I need more inspiration!
Wow, 1 more month and its time to start solids!
Gotta prepare my menu, gear and shopping lists now!
This is the second time the microwave has ruined my Baby gear. Maybe I should get the steam steriliser.
Worrying that it may leach chemicals into my expressed breast milk, I have ditched it.
On the bright side, Way drank 60ml of fresh breast milk from pigeon teat on glass bottle over 2 hrs... We went out. We used the L size and he could suck quite fast, but he still prefers the breast. I counted, 6-7 squirt lines when hand expressing, no wonder he prefers it. And it won't drip if he doesn't suck.
I am happy! Thanks to Linnie Soh sharing on going out and feeding, I am gaining some confidence on bottle feeding fresh breast milk.
Because I want to encourage you to move on your tummy!
Jia you!
