ZZZzzz

My mum-in-law is out today so I took leave to stay at home to baby sit.  One of the challenging parts of taking care of Jan is getting her to sleep.  She usually plays so hard and so much that it can be hard at times to get her to unwind. 

I was wary of that today so I made plan: I would bring her out for a while before her nap time.  Usually that trick works pretty well...going out tires her rather quickly.  However, when I got back and put her in bed, she was still very awake...*sigh*...I decided to leave her alone while I spend some time alone with God (thru reading my bible, journaling my thoughts, praying, etc).

I checked back on her several times and for a while she still didn't show any signs of weariness.  I was getting desperate until I went into her room for one last check, and this is what I saw:

So hilarious!! Haha...I couldn't help but immediately grab the camera to snap these pictures.

Guess she joined me in my prayer time...hahahaa...except that she fell asleep halfway

 

Think God honours us spending time with Him, so He help me took care of Jan =)

kena botak head - AGAIN....

Both papa and mama thinks my hair seems to have stopped growing since my last botak experience.... so they made this "cruel" decision... to shave my hair again!!! *faint*

Here's how I look before the haircut...

during....

and 1 day later...

I can stand!

 

 

After much assistance from papa and mama, I finally learnt how to stand on my own! Mama says I kay kiang... use only 1 hand to support... hiak hiak...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also learnt how to sit after standing up... pandai hor?? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hmmm... what's next? 

Milestones check

On Lunar New Year's eve, Jan seemed to discover new skills! Recently, I've been trying to let her drink water using a sippy cup and decided to let her try holding her own cup. She seemed to grasp hold of the new skill quite well and was holding it on her own. While putting her to bed, she seemed to refuse to sleep and kept turning to the prone position. Then she started to slowly move her hands backwards and soon she was sitting! I was quite amazed and she kept repeating the actions - prone, sit and then sit, prone. She was at it for quite a while before she decided that it's time to call it a day! Haha!

Some things she can do currently:

1. Protests violently when we take away something that she's playing with

2. Able to change from crawling position to sitting position and vice versa

3. Able to hold her own bottle

4. Cries loudly when daddy and mummy wave goodbye her every morning before heading for work (quite heart-wrenching!)

5. Kneels in her play pen and "munches" on the sides

6. Likes to hum

7. Shakes her head when she's sleepy or to indicate "no" e.g. doesn't want to be carried by someone else or she doesn't want more food. She looks really cute when she shakes her head. We never fail to be tickled by her action.

Gong Xi Gong Xi!
