What's next?

My little Adri soon realised that there's lots more that she can do!
Look! She managed to get pass the bumper!
yes, that's one day after discovering that she could actually stick her hand pass the bumper (refer to video below)
Just look her smug look.



She then decided to "savour" wood.
I really doubt it was tasty.
Daddy and Mummy were going, "No, Adri! Dirty Dirty!"
She paused for a little while, but soon continued with licking the frame. (eeks!)



And of course, after this came her legs and many more....
Just yesterday, hubby and help found her screaming cos her whole leg got stuck in between the panels!
Boy, i must say she has a pretty good memory of her little achievements that she frequently repeats them.
.
Babies are amazing.
I often wonder how they can get so smart when all that they take is milk and milk! =D
God's creation. =)

Whose hand is that?

Check out little Adri's recent achivement! It's so cute that i juz had to capture it! =D

Do pardon the blur image, taken with hp video cam la.

My little one managed to lift the bed bumper and stick her little hand out =D

Milestone Checks?

Okie, let's see how much i can remember of the little milestones my little
Adri has been making. =D

0 to 2 months
- using her powerful vocals to scream and scream and scream?

2 to 3 months
- sleep the norm + sleep through the night (Really thank God for this! =D)
- flip over to her left and right very slowly
- turn 360 degrees in her bed
- prop her head up while lying on her tummy
- demand to be held upright instead of being cradled.
- coo
- smile!
(hey, this is quite an achievement from a little one who cried incessantly)

3 to 4 months
- smile more! =D
- speak gibberish
- hold very light items like pieces of paper (eg, an angbao)

4 to 5 months
- totally flip over and sleep on her little tummy
- grab and let go of items
- reach for her feet and at times put them into her mouth (Cute but eeks! =p)
- use her buttocks and legs to push herself forward
(This one is funny. There were many times when i was awakened by her screams and found her head against a corner of the bed, trying her very best to push through the bed frame =D)
- took her first cereals
(Baby began to wake up in the middle of the night and giving her some cereal before she turned in helped! =D Boy, sleep is precious. Mummy has to wake up at 5am every day!)

5 months til today
- chuckle heartily during the game of peek-a-boo
- crawl (but rather unsteadily)!

Might have missed out some.
To be updated. =)

Quick Updates...

Apologies, i know i have been MIA-ing for months. Not that i've forgotten about my blog, i just didn't have the energy to blog ever since i returned to work (15 Feb).

Boy, talking about that, one pregnancy + motherhood really makes a HUGE difference. I can't really tell ya how dif it is, but it juz is!
My capacity's been so limited, both physically and mentally.
Am not complaining, Motherhood is still a wonderful + fulfilling + rewarding experience.
And nope, i've not forgotten the months when Adri just refused to sleep in the afternoons and cried incessantly and also, the days when Adri literally stayed awake from 12midnight to 6am for a whole month (when she was 2 months old)!
Well, guess that made Motherhood an awesome experience - to see your little babe grow and make little milestones.

From one who didn't really know how to play with kids, i'm now a "Makcih" (Auntie in the Malay Language).
Daphne actually witnessed me initiating conversations with total strangers about their babies! Asking them about their babies' age, weight and all!
Yep, not shy i was. I guess it's an understood connection + bond amongst mothers, esp novice mums! =D
Am actually quite proud of myself...at least i know i do exude some maternal instinct. =D

Okie, some quick updates about little Adri.
I'm really enjoying her. She's abt 6.5kg and "stands" (or rather, crawls) at 63cm.
A REAL bundle of joy.

Here's some pics of her...just to fill in the gaps. =p

These are pics of Adri @ 3 months old.


And ta-da! Pics of the 4-month-old Baby Adri! =D


I still find my little babe photogenic.

I've been printing her pics and putting them in an album. Haven't had much time to scrap them but i "think" i will.
Well, print 'em all before the labtop crashes...you'll never know when. i dun keep back-ups! =p
