But like all things...this too shall pass...
Chinese New Year
We went for a few Lion Dance performances but she did not like it. She hated the loud noise but was quite fascinated with the lion (tried to touch it when it came near).
We went to Penang again this year for the 8th day prayers but of course she slept thru that. Even the fireworks (which was really loud) did not wake her.
First Cinema Experience
Jing's family has a tradition of watching a movie during the CNY break. So this year we thought we 'd go along (we stopped going after Meera was born). Misha did really well....the poporn helped (ALOT!). She sat on our Jing's lap till almost the end and then stood between our chairs towards the last part.
'Door'
I notice she says this when she wants to close something...the room door , her closet or even her water bottle. I keep saying close but she will say door.
Toys
This month I switched up the toys a bit. I've kept aside the Leapfrog Table (which she has never shown much interest in).
I took down the Mega Bloks and she seems to love it...I've seen her sit and build up a few of the 1 block pieces together but because it doesn't stay together so well she gets frustrated when it comes apart. But she spends quite a while building with it.
She also likes drawing (especially on the easel) with crayons and can say 'draw'.
we also brought down the VTech Ride-On toy. Initially sge refused to sit on it but after a while she got on it herself and can now push backwards on it. Has yet to figure out how to move forward.
Another favourite is 'wiping' with a piece of cloth from the Duplo set.
Bad week (7/3/15- 10/3/15)
Saturday evening she felt quite warm so I checked and she was having a slight fever. On Sunday it reached 38.5 but she seemed fine and active. On Monday she didn't have a temperature but she was super cranky. I have never seen her like this before! She would cry and scream for the smallest things....if she couldn't do something, if I said no to her even if I wasn't paying her any attention. Even eating was a struggle. She cried and screamed so much she vomitted out her breakfast. Tuesdy was just as bad...and she only napped for less than an hour. She was also crying alot at night but still managed to sleep through. she didnt have any fever though. I began to suspect teething. Wednesday was no better, cranky, short naps, difficult to feed. I started giving PCM. Thursday..her appetite was better but she was still super moody. That night noticed she had a rash on her torso. ( roseola?). Friday she was much better and I noticed her top right canine was out.
This has been the most difficult teeth yet! Hopefully the other 3 don't give this much trouble. She was truly a different child the past few days and am so glad she is back to her normal cheerful self now.
Car seat
We have finally switched her to forward facing. (According to the manual it's rear facing till 9 kg and she has only just passed that weight).
Nursing
I have dropped the afternoon feed so she is now down to 2 feeds a day. She was a bit unhappy for a few days...kept signing milk when I picked her up from her cot and got very upset when I brought her downstairs. I started on a Monday and by Friday she had stopped signing milk and seemed to accept the new routine. I tried giving her milk after her nap but for some reason was quite unsuccessful so I started giving into her before nap time. Right now it's about 4 oz. I do not see how she is ever going to drink a full cup. I am going to try for 5 oz 3 times a day so that should be sufficient. She also takes 2.5 oz with her Weet-bix so it should manageable.
Routines
She is starting to recognize routines in her life. Every night Jing will give her the aniseed medicine before taking her up for her bath and lately when he tells her it's time for medicine she will go to the dry kitchen and wait for him to pour it out, sit on his lap and drink it and then walk straight to the stairs and wait for him to open the gate so she can go up. And she will keep saying bye and waving and she climbs up.
And after nursing her at night she will say brush teeth. I am trying to make it a routine where she will brush teeth and get read a story before bedtime but sometimes it's late so I skip it.
Whenever she sees the phone or camera she will say baby and want to have a look so its starting to get difficult to record her.
