Baby doesn't like solid very much

She's 10 months and 2 weeks now and still doesn't fancy the solids i give her. I think it's about time to try something else. Daddy made her food and put them in seperate containers for different flavors but sometimes granny went and mix them up altogether. So, as usual, she didn't like the food. She has been eating mix purees since 8 months old and everyday.

i think i'll buy more fruits to mix with her food. So stressful having to think and think ways to make her love her food. :'(

Pointing with her fingers & loves to walk - 10 months

She knows where is clock, television, fan, lights, mirror, bear bear, birds, moon, airplane and doggie. She'll point to the things whenever I ask her. Sometimes she'll tell me stories using her baby language. For instance, she told me ta gu ( sis in law) fed her. I held her and she pointed at ta gu while baby-talk to me with expression on her face and ta gu was on her way up to her room that time.

 

I also taught her how to get down from the bed as I don't want her to fall off the bed anymore.I told her becareful, u can do it, slowly. I twisted her buttock and pulled her leg towards the floor few times. Now she's able to do it by herself and she always smile when her feet touches the floor. Sometimes she is scared and wants me to help. But i'll just encourage her by saying u can do it yourself clever girl and i'll clap my hands to show support. Then she'll face down on the mattress and cry as if i don't want her. So funny. Then she'll look up to me again and show me her pity face which really makes me laugh even more.

 

Her favourite cartoon is Jojo, Dibo and Mickey. I think it's because these shows have alot of songs and colours. It's good time to feed her when any of these shows is on.

 

Her appetite is fairly good. She opens her mouth but she gets bored sitting at one place for too long. She doesn't eat very fast. So, I always need to get another bowl to take out half of the food to feed her, and the rest i'll feed her later after a short break. She's not too bad actually, she just need a short break in between. I love her so much.

 

I love her fine baby hair, her fat fingers, thighs, toes, feet, cheeks, tummy, tiny mouth, teethless gums and laughes (it's contagious). I love to smell her. I love to hug her. I love to play hide & seek with her. I love to bath her. I love to spend time with her. I love her love her love her so much. I'm poisoned. Hahaha!!!

 

She used to wave bye bye whenever I told her to but now she doesn't do it anymore. I miss her bye bye wave. It's super cute and funny.

 

She'll let strangers carry her if they tell her they'd show her doggie. :S She loves animals.

 

She loves to walk. Last week, the first time, we had to let her walk holding both her hands when we're at Putri MArt's kedai Ubat.She was twisting all over as if she wants to get down. So, i told hubby "aiya, let her come down la. it's o.k. At least she's wearing her socks."So, we let her walk around for awhile and she was so excited and kept smiling. Mom said she'll probably be able to walk by herself when she's 11 months old.

 

She loves to climb the staircase and all the way up to ah yi's room cos ah yi's room has a big mirror. SHe'd turn the mirror back and look whats' at the back, turn it front again to see what's infront. Haha!  

 

Lately, she loves to pull up her shirt and let us tickle. Then she laughs madly. Hahaha!!!

Holiday in Redang 25-27July08

Zhi Ying is 9 months already.

 

Every morning, we wake up around 6:30am. Breakfast started at 7am. I'd give Zhi Ying her Gerber food or bread along with some water from her favourite trainer cup.

 

One funny thing she did during this holiday was she'd stand up to poo and the expression on her face was very funny. Her face will turn red for few seconds and then she'd want you to carry her as she didn't want to sit back down with her poo in her nappy. So, every time she requests to get out from the baby chair, i'll check her nappy. True enough, I'd see her poo in there. Hahaha!!!

 

Another funny incident was, when i washed her back side in the man's toilet with daddy. First of all, like any other times, i took off her nappy, this time i saw there were stools coming out half way. I didn't have time to put some toilet paper on the sink. Quickly, i helped her to force out the stools by pressing the side of her anus repeatedly. Her face was red cos she use alot of energy too. Her stools were quite hard. Gross right? But i had to go on for her to read when she grows up. So, as u can imagine, the stools were in the sink - so smelly, but what can i do but to hang in there and pack up as fast as possible. After I washed her buttock, I'd to pick up those stools in the sink and throw them into the bin. I nearly puke. She saw that and laughed so loud.

 

Zhi Ying enjoyed herself and that makes the holiday super duper wonderful.

 

She didn't cry when the Berjaya plane took off or landed. She always falls asleep when grandad holds her - during her sleeping time. If either daddy or me hold her to put her to sleep, she'll toss and turn to make sure she doesn't fall asleep.

 

Daddy and I managed to go Scuba diving. Initially, I didn't want to go due to the hot sun cos I've sensitive skin. But daddy said we haven't dive together before. Wow, then i thought, how sweet would that be, to hold hands and play with fish in the water. So, I agreed. Hahaha!! Who knows, i ended up diving with the dive master. Daddy was about 5 feet away from me. Why? cos initially I was panic as i havent dive for a long time.I've forgotten what to do to sink into the water and not use to the gears. Hahahah!! With the dive masters help, i manage to sink in and slowly tried to enjoy the dive. But after awhile, i had headache. I didn't want to disappoint others especially Siew Yien cos she has been missing her dive badly and i want her to dive longer. So, i tried to do Qi Gong breathing thru the mouth.Hahaha!!! But still, after that, situation didn't improve. So, i signal the dive master to go up (thums up). He looked shocked cos i guess it was just a shore dive and to the divers, it's like going into the swimming pool. He insisted that we swim back instead of going up. Which i hated so much at first but at the end realised that it was better than going up to the surface. Fuhlamak....pengsan aku. Anyway, we manage to see 2 sharks and 1 big garoupa fish. Very scary.TO be continue at home....wait for my details...
