<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Height = 68cm
\nWeight = 7.1Kg<\/p>\n
She’s able to :
\n~ sit very well when supported; momentarily balance herself when not supported.
\n~ grab an object held out for her
\n~ pass object from one hand to another
\n~ babble and scream, doing vowel sounds most of the time, like aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii, ooooooooooo, aaaaaeeeeeee, eehh-ooooh
\n~ respond to her nick name, meimei, and at times, Zaria
\n~ rolls back to front, front to back like a pro now
\n~ check out a new object by looking at it, shaking it, puting in her mouth, or touching it
\n~ demand for something while staring at it, and crying<\/p>\n
Eating :
\nEating her solids well, so far have been giving her home made cereal (brown rice, millet, quinoa) with either potato, pumpkin, apple or carrot, and she takes them all.
\nTypical\u00a0feeding schedule\u00a0: 7am milk, 9am 2 tbs cereal, 11am milk, 1pm milk, 4pm milk, 6pm 2 tbs cereal, 8pm milk, 10pm milk. Midnight, feed on demand.
\nNot sure how much milk she’s taking, but I think it’s about 3.5oz per feed (that’s the amount she’ll take from the bottle). She nurses directly from the breast most of the time.
\nShe started sleeping through at about 8th week; somehow when I went to Singapore for work last month, she started waking up for milk again. However, it’s more of comfort feed then real feed, as she just have a few suck before dozing off again.
\nStarting to have a habit of shaking kicking her right leg while nursing.<\/p>\n
Temperament \/ Emotions :
\nDoesn’t cry much (definitely less than Zara at this age and even at 31months), and when she does, she’s either sleepy, angry or got a fright; and is easily calmed or pacified.
\nShe doesn’t mind anybody carrying or playing with her, but she knows Jelly (my Filipino maid) and myself are her main care givers, so she’ll look out for us when she wants to be comforted.
\nWhen she wants me (to play with her or feed her), she’ll squael with delight when she sees me, and will cry when she sees me walking out without giving her the attention.
\nArchs her stomach when she is displease.
\nVery patient and good temperament.<\/p>\n
She’s taking 2 long naps in the morning and afternoon, and then a short 30mins nap in the night; her bed time is 11pm just like Zara now.
\nShe loves to watch Zara dance, and Zara always have a way to make her squeal with excitement and laugh.
\nShe seems to like books, staring at the pictures, or trying to grab it to put in her mouth.
\nShe loves to watch TV too; when Zara is watching Baby Einstein, I’ll let her watch together.<\/p>\n
