Timid Girl

Both EG and I think that Eunice is a timid girl.

Why? There are a few incidents proves that.

1. Eunice was looking at Daddy playing guitar, suddenly, Daddy sneezed - OK la quite loud. Next thing we know - Eunice was crying loudly!

2. Eunice was playing herself on the floor on the thin mattress. Mummy was watching tv beside her. A repairman was outside fixing the gate and he started drilling. It wasn't very loud. Eunice stopped playing, looked at Mummy. I know she's shocked as she never hear this sound before. I asked her, "Yes girl?". And she started to show me the N shape mouth and started crying!!

3. We bought Parklon playmat for her as she has hit herself few times on the floor while trying to crawl. It has a HUGE Winnie the Pooh and her friends printing on the mat. The first time we put her down the mat, she didn't dare to move! And started crying again! I had to carry her on my lap and told her many times that "See, it's pooh bear! No scared scared!" And hit the pooh a few times before she could start playing happily on the mat. =.=

4. We bought Fisher Price stacker for Eunice. It has a small duckling on top and it has rattling sound when you move the stacker. OK, it's louder than her usual toy. This girl... when we showed her the toy and make that sound, she started crying! I don't know if it's because of the duckling (the duckling is quite cute ma... =.=) or the rattling sound. I had to hide it behind the sofa. Before I brought her to sleep, EG tried again by showing her the toy. And once she saw it, she started crying again... Gosh...! We had to slowly "introduce" the new toy to her the next day. Now she can play with it well. =.=

5. We brought her to almost everywhere we go. People always comment that she's very obedient, cooperative with parents as she normally will just sit down on our lap - not moving much - and just observe her surroundings. Actually, EG and I know that she's actually scared as she doesn't recognize the place. As long as we're holding her, she'll be OK. But if we pass to someone else, she'll start crying. Once, we were @ Pr Sam's house and Pr's wife - Suzie tried to talk to her softly. After 1 minute, Eunice showed her N lips and started crying again. It's very obvious that that cry is due to fear.

There are many other times where she would jump while we cough / sneeze / someone else talked slightly louder.

I seriously wonder where she got this timid gene from. I don't think so it's from me. Must be from the Daddy then. :P

Because of this, Daddy pampers his daughter like crazy and very protective over her. That's why I always say sometimes I can see smoke from Eunice's head - because she hangus already!

Trying to crawl

I almost forgot about this. :).

I was very surprise to see Eunice @ 23wks old lifted her tummy off the ground and went on her four on one Saturday morning when I let her play with us on our bed. Later, my sister who was in Penang visiting actually took a video of her trying to crawl in her playpen while I was taking my bath.



My little one is trying to crawl. And now @ 25 wks, she is more stable on her four and she's trying to move forward. She is also trying to sit down while getting on her four.

It is such a joy to see her grow. :)

Starting on Solids

Since the day Eunice was born, I pray so hard that she'll grow up faster. I pray that she'll reach 6 months old soon so that I can take a break from breastfeeding / expressing and she'll start to eat like what we eat.

And now, Eunice is going to be 6 months old in a week time. How time flies! Now I hope the time can go slower so that I can enjoy her as a baby now.

Anyway, Dr Dan been asking me if I want to start solid on Eunice when she reached 4 months. After reading up the internet, I have decided to hold back the solid feeding till she's 6 months old to prevent any allergy. And furthermore, Eunice is on breastmilk exclusively - it should be nutritious enough for her till she reach her 6 months.

So I waited. And a week before she turned 6 months old, I have decided to start feeding her some cereal. Even so, I have read up about cereal feeding - whether to buy the instant one, or make my own homemade one. Well, in the end I went for the instant one for our conveniences in the future. There are so many brands out there - and after surveying a few rounds with EG, we have decided to get Why Not? Organic First Flavor Cereal for Eunice.


My first attempt of feeding was quite successful. To my surprise, Eunice took the feeding very well. She will lean forward eagerly to "eat" her cereal, and I followed the tips online to leave the spoon in her mouth for her to chew & swallow the cereal. To remember this special day, I took her pic after fed - so cute right? :)

And I'm glad that I got this Tommee Tippee bib. I tried feeding her in the normal cloth bib and end up the cereal is falling everywhere. And this bib is really cute, it has a pocket in front too - to "takung" all the cereal that the little one spit out. :). And it's very easy to clean it. Just wipe it and leave it there to dry. And use it again during next feed. :)



My naughty girl actually tried to grab the spoon while I'm feeding her. After I'm done feeding her, I gave her the spoon but she didn't know how to control it and she smacked it on her face. Hahaha! So I took it back.

Anyway it's a special experience feeding my little one. I'm going to try with more food on her so that she can taste the different types of food. And I'm going to get busy preparing her food then! :)

And ooohhhh, her poo got smellier after the cereal... Gosh... :).. But as long as she poo, I'm happy. Let's hope that she'll be able to take the other food well!
