She has 8 front teeth-4 top & 4 bottom. 1 molar on the right top, 1 on the left popping out a bit. That’s all she has now.


 


She can say up to 5 words in a sentence. She watches Baby Can Read DVD, Baby Bright, Gracie Lou, Barney, Pooh & Friends. She'd say Aleka when she wants Baby Can Read DVD.


 


She's very posessive. Granny, Kakak, daddy & me belongs to her. If we touch or hug other baby, she'll come and grab us away or she'd make alot of noise while staring at you. there was one day she pulled me to go upstairs, away from Magdelene cos that's the only way she could stop me from hugging Magdelene.Haha!!


 


Every morning she still wakes up around 6 to 7am. She calls mommy and hold my finger then try to pull me out of the bed and say GO OUT. Most of the time, I’d let her sit on her potty and make her drink plenty of water while she watch her favorite show on tv – baby bright/Aleka/Astro Channel 613/612. She’d tell me which one she wants to watch. If she doesn’t want Aleka, she’d say no no and shake her head. If I ask again to confirm, she’d say no again if she really doesn’t want to watch it. Then I’d change another program for her. If she doesn’t want to poo, she’d stand up and hand me her potty. Hahaha!! Luckily most of the time, she didn’t even wee in the potty. Otherwise, the whole floor would be a mess and I’ve to clean the mess. Then I’d let her rest about half an hour before making her a light breakfast. – oat and prune from nestle + plain rice cereal + honey wheat and sometimes plus 1 spoon of milk powder. She’d eat her breakfast with cheese most of the time. She’d sit obediently in her high chair if I give her cheese.


 


Sometimes, when daddy ask her “who am I?” She’d tease daddy and say “granny..” and give him a cheeky smile…as if waiting to be tickled by daddy for teasing daddy. But she’d never do that to me. Whenever I ask her who am I, she’d tell me “mommy”. But sometimes she’d call me wrongly as granny and immediately she’d correct herself and call my mommy. She tells me that she’s a baby. She says “baby..” and points to her chest.


 


Every evening when I reach home, she’ll pull me over and give me a cheeky smile. I know what she wants. Nen nen. Always, her face shows her desperation for breastmilk by giggling. Hehehe!! She’d pull me to the bed and get herself ready for nen nen.


 


She can make faces. I’d say “ Zhi Ying, show mommy angry”. Then she’d show me an angry face with pouty lips. She can do angry, crying, smiling, laughing –these 4 expressions. So funny. She can do Yoga too. She can bend down and hands touching the floor while one leg held high up in the air. Or leaning her body against the sofa while she hold on leg up in the air.


 


When she can’t get something too heavy or too high for her, she’d say “help /help me”. Hehehe!!


 


We still take her to swim almost every weekend. She knows where we keep her swim suit and she’d go to the cupboard and take it and put in the bag we usually carry along when we go out. When we ask her to get the car keys, she’d know which is the car key or house key.  She loves to go on the pools slide. She'd only agree to get out of the pool when she starts shivering. Hehe!


 


There was one day i was in the bathroom doing my stuff for awhile and when i stepped out, i was her already taken off her t shirt by herself and told me she wants to shower. hahaha!!! By the way, the t shirt is quite easy to be taken off. I love her little tummy.


 


She likes to go for the carousel horse ride in IOI mall. Most of the time daddy would go with her cos I will feel very fizzy after the ride. Then we'd wipe her hands and she'd be fine if we say it's enough and we have to leave.


 


She likes to run about instead of walk. She fell once and bleed on bit her lower lips and bleed. But she recovered within 2 days.

It's not fake measles!!

It’s been a while since I last update my blog on Zhi Ying’s development.


Just want to add some points to the previous blog here. Dr. Ting prescribed very heavy dose of medication to the children. After checking with Zhi Ying’s usual doc, she said that Rosephine is actually a very strong medicine and is the last option if all other medicine fails. Worst part is, Zhi Ying had 2 japs within that month. Actually, Rosephine could be the cause of the rashes on Zhi Yings body and the antibiotic Zinnat could be the cause of her diarrhea. After diarrhea, she had constipation.


 


After 2 weeks, she was down with another virus-mouth ulcers. She got them from Sue Yin and SY got it from her dad. They shared ice cream. Then Sue Ying exchange her water bottle with Zhi Ying. L Poor baby was in pain for a week and that’s the time she had the 2nd jap of Rosephine cos she had high fever and I couldn’t get Dr. Cheok (Columbia Asia). At last we manage to get an appointment to see Dr. Cheok and she prescribed Oral aid to sooth the ulcer so that zhi ying could eat & drink easily. I was extremely heartsick to see her terrified face when we feed her medicines. There was once she didn’t want to swallow until her face turn black as if she’s going to choke to death. It breaks my heart to see her going thru all this pain & suffering. After taking Dr. Cheok’s medicine, she recovered the next 3 days. Thank God.
