Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 9 Months Old

9 months old: 28th Apr 09 to 27th May 09

Baby Jez's weight is abt 7.3kg. She needs to be fed every 3 hrs, drinking 6 oz of milk each time. There is 1 porridge & 1 cereal feed per day. There is 1 night feed.

On 30th Apr 09, we heard Baby Jez call Mama for the first time, it was clear & loud. Maybe it was just an coincident, we did not really hear her call again subsequently. Baby Jez celebrates Mother's day for the first time. We went to Forum shopping centre, I tink she enjoys the day more than me as she saw many toys in Toy'R'US. We had Tim Sum for lunch & Seafood for dinner that day. Thanks to Jez Papa. Heehee...

Baby Jez is getting naughtier. She will throw temper or even shout if she's unhappy, or if she want someone to carry her go walk walk... She will even choose who to carry her. If she doesnt want to let you carry, she will beat your hands and turn her face to the back. While we were having our meal, we need to find something for her to hold to entertain her. Or else, she will refuse to sit & wait for us to finish the meal.

She can now sit steadily without much support. However, it is still impt to 'jaga' her while she's sitting as she will juz lie dwn anytime. We also tried not to give her pacifier when she's going to slp. 婆婆 was the one who started to try, and indeed, Baby Jez can slp without her pacifier. Thanks to 婆婆. I always thought it will be difficult to stop her from sucking her pacifier. From then onwards, we will only give her if she's really cranky.

Baby Jez also learns some hand signals like shaking her hands which means 'Bye Bye'. I also taught her how to clap hands. Surprisingly, she picks up quite fast. When we say 'clap hands', she will put her hands together to clap.

Baby Jez likes to sleep with her pillow covering her face. This is exactly what I'm doing also. Heehee....

Everyone likes Baby Jez's feet very much when they see her. Coz her feet will keep circling when she's excited or happy. Also, her feet is considered small cos both me & Wilson's are small too.

Baby Jez really perspires alot. Sometimes, I direct the fan straight at her, she will still perspire & the sweat will flow dwn drop by drop. Just like her Papa!

We found 4 new teeth growing this month. 2 front teeth on the upper jaw & 2 front teeth on the lower jaw, heehee.... :)

Our 宝贝宣慈, Baby Jez: 8 Months Old

8 months old: 28 Mar 2009 to 27 Apr 2009

Baby Jez's weight is about 7.2kg. She needs to be fed every 3 to 4 hrs, drinking 5 and half oz of milk each time. 1 Cereal and 1 Porridge per day.

Baby Jez gets to swim for the first time on 10Apr09 at Ziyan 干妈's hse. We can see that she felt abit insecure when i put her in the water. However, a few minutes later, she started to play with the water... Altho' she did not really get very excited, we can see that she's enjoying herself and she knows what's going on. She did not cry for the whole 15mins session. I believe she likes water activites alot just like her Papa, will try to bring her for swimming more often...

Baby Jez starts to snatch things from her cousins now. She can be quite fierce sometimes. Ah Ma bought Baby Jez a mini piano and she likes it very much. When her cousins touch her piano, she will push their hands away. In order to stop her selfishness, I will purposely ask her cousins to touch her toys while she's playing so that they play together... However, kids are just kids. It's still a long way to teach her the correct values...

It is now very dangerous to leave Baby Jez sitting on the infant seat alone now. She will put both her hands at the side of the seat and push herself up. If nobody is monitoring, the seat might just turn over. I will only put her on the infant seat when she wants to drink milk as she is now able to hold the bottle and finish all the milk.

This month I have to leave Baby Jez for the first time to go to Abu Dhabi for 9 days to meet up with Wilson. We came back together on 25Apr09 and Wilson's sis actually brought Baby Jez to the airport to welcome us. Wilson is really happy to see Baby Jez. On the first day, Baby Jez doesnt really want to communicate with Wilson. However, on the second day, after much playing with her, she somehow can sense that this man is different from others and started to get along very well with Wilson. Heehee....

Baby Jez can sit more steadily now for 5 to 10 secs, with both her hands supported in front.
