Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 4 Months Old

4 months old: 28 Nov 2008 - 27 Dec 2008

Baby Jez's weight is abt 6.2kg. She needs to fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 4oz of milk each time. There are about 1-2 night feeds.

We brought Baby Jez for a haircut in this month. The old folks say either cut the baby's hair during their first month or fourth month. We brought Baby Jez to a neighbourhood salon to shave all her hair. Surprisingly, she did not cry at all. I was actually preparing for her scream. Heehee.... We all feel that she looks good in her 'Botak Head'. As her hair starts to drop in the 3rd month, we can see holes ard her head which is not nice. After the shave, she looks much better. She has a round & nice head and I feel that she somehow looks like the '一休和尚' (a cartoon character).

Before her haircut, we brought her to the photo studio to take studio shots. We are entitled to 1 complimentary 5R portrait as I took up a photo package at the hospital after I delivered. She was very excited and not scared at all. When the auntie at the studio tried to make her smile, she was very happy and laughing away. It only took us abt 15mins to take 2 shoots, 1 family portrait & 1 Baby Jez solo portrait.

We brought Baby Jez for shopping almost every weekend during this month as Wilson took a break from dragonboat & he does not have any training during weekends. Baby Jez gets her first visit to many shopping centres like Suntec, Milenia Walk, Great World City, Takashimaya, Wisma, Bugis Junction, Marina Square and even Kallang and Changi Airport all 3 Terminals.

Baby Jez also celebrated her first Christmas this month. She received lots of presents from many uncles & aunties. Most of her presents are clothes. Wilson also bought her 1 Baby Gap top & 1 Polo Ralph top during his M'sia trip as Christmas present.

Baby Jez is now able to put her pacifier inside her mouth correctly. In fact, she loves to play with her pacifier. She will turn the pacifier in different directions, keep looking at it and biting it in all directions. Her saliva is still drooling continuously.

On one occasion, I happen to let Baby Jez hold a pen and she seems to be a left-handed. Since Wilson is a left-handed, it's possible for her to be a left-handed too.

Baby Jez attempts to crawl too, first attempt seen on 14th Dec 08. She will start to get angry and frustrated when she finds herself not moving after trying & trying to crawl. It can be seen that she's quite impatient actually. We didnt really let her practice her crawling frequently. Thus, I think it will still take some time before she can really crawl.

She is also able to hold her both feet now. Holding her feet has become a form of exercise for her and I think she feels happy to have something new to do.

Baby Jez also attempts to hold the milk bottle and drink water herself. First attempt is seen on 27th Dec 08. Altho' the length of time that she hold the bottle is quite short but it's still an achievement in the 4th month.
