5 years and 10 months old - A Loving Sister and Future Mother

What a mature girl you are. At this young and tender age you are already thinking of life. One of those nights in bed, you mention that you are thinking of only having one child in the future. That's cause this way you don't have to worry about your kids fighting with each other. Perhaps a bit like you and your Didi now? Honestly, you kids are really good kids. Yes there's fighting but there's also lots of loving.

You are excellent at taking care of Baby B. Singing him Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when he fusses and he instantly stops. You love making him laugh out loud too with your silly faces.

You now help to bathe Didi J whenever I am busy with Baby B. You try hard to speak nicely sometimes instead of getting angry with him whenever he is cheeky.

You did say things like you miss the times when it was only you and me and no Didis. You miss spending time alone with me. So I promised  you a girly day one day soon. I do miss you being a little girl too. And the alone times we spent together. They will always remain very very very special to me my dear Sweets.

As you count down to your 6th birthday, I pray that I will be able to make time before then to enjoy lots of you.

3 years 3 months old - Growing too tall

This morning you came into our room and we spent some time together. You asked if you are 3 years old,

J: Am me three years old?
Me: Yes, but you will be four this year.
J: Then 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10!
Me: Yes! You are growing and growing!
J: But I don't want to hit my head up there (points at the ceiling.)

Cute..

You just farted as I'm typing this and said there's fireworks.

Cheeky..

So many more cute and cheeky comments from you. Wish I could record them all. Love all these moments but sadly can't fit them all in my brains. Gotta enjoy them now.

Month 5+6 - Tooth

Your first bottom right tooth has cut through!

Month 5+3 - Teething

At yesterday's 5 month check up, you now weigh 7.2kg. Can't help but to think that you are a bit on the petite side. Have to feed you a bit more. But you tend to regurgitate if you are overfed. So I know you actually don't need the extra feeds. Well, as long as you are growing healthily I guess. No need to fatten you up.

You were a real trooper at the check up too! Only a little startled when you received your DTAP combo jab. No crying. My strong baby.

You can inch and push and roll yourself towards an object and grab it. We are able to pull you up to a sitting position now. I usually do that while singing Row Row Row Your Boat. You also prefer to sit on my lap rather than left alone on the playgym or rocker while we have our meals. Not wanting to feel left out. Hee...

You are teething and that I think wakes you up from your naps. Sigh. We get strong bites from you too!

Can't believe you are already 5 months old. Soon to wean on solids! Must enjoy every moment before you are no longer a baby anymore! Smelling every bit of you and cuddling you lots. Flooding you with smooches every time I get a chance. 

Month 4 - Grabbing and Gumming

You are very strong for a little Bubba! As you are probably teething, you then to grab whatever within your reach and shove it into your mouth to relieve the itch on your gums. It could be a toy, the cot bars or my hand. Sometimes I struggle to release the item from your grasp! I can feel the strong tension when you gum on my hand too. Praise God for a strong strong boy.

Month 4+18 - Mornings

Love spending time lazing in bed with you in the mornings. Sometimes you tell me all about your dreams (seems like a lot of dreams!), sometimes I sing with you, sometimes I watch you flip and push yourself all over the bed, sometimes we just stare at each other. Best feeling in the world.
