I Don't Bitch I Blog

We have started Z on solids on Christmas day and she seems to be liking it. DJ is in charge of Z’s menu. So far we have fed her vegetable congee, pear and carrot (purée form). I have also started the weaning process. Not sure how Z felt but it was kind sad for me…

Z has been learning on how to sit up on her own but sometimes she will fall back and hit her head on the floor. Ouch! However she can sit very well on her high chair which is a new development. Meaning now we can dine out more without pushing our pram into the restaurants.

I have been thinking alot lately and I really wish I could go back to work once Z turns 1 but financially we cannot afford it therefore I’ll have to look for work once Z gets a spot in childcare. She is getting very cute everyday especially when she mumbles “mumm mummmm mummm”

Z is now 5 months old. She has discovered her toes and she’s obsessed with licking and sucking them. According to old wives tales, if baby starts sucking on their toes, baby number 2 is on the way however I can guarantee it’s not gonna happen anytime soon. It’s a handful looking after one baby.

Z still haven’t started to sleep thru the night. She still wakes up between 12am – 2am for a quick feed and wakes up between 5am – 7am. So basically my sleeping time has broken up to 3-4 hours sleep each night

At this age, majority of my friends has started solids on their babies however I am still holding on to it till Z turns 5 months 3 weeks old. Why? Well Z is not ready to sit up yet and I’m worry that she will get indigestions. That’s just me being cautious and also not ready to accept the smelly poo!

When Z did her first turn, I totally missed out on it. So DJ and I were watching her everyday since to capture the moment of her doing a turn. After 5 days later she did another turn from back to front and it was a very smooth turn. Then she couldn’t stop turning and she gets very frustrated when she can’t turn back to her back. Now, Z has figured out on how to make a turn to a roll over *yeah!! clap clap*. I sense this little bunny will crawl very soon. Yikes!! meaning we will have to start child proofing the house.

I was at the kitchen when Z did her first roll over from back to tummy and I missed it!!! Arrrgghh….!

My cheeky little monkey is 4 months old. Z has discovered something new – her feet! She is obsessed with pulling her toes and also moving around a lot by pushing herself backwards -__-
Nappy changing is challenging too. Z wiggles a lot and I think she is preparing herself to turn.
At the moment she sleeps on her side. I tried to put her to sleep on her back once but I woke her up instead and it was a torturing moment for me because I had to put her back to sleep again when Z thought it was time to play!

Time pass so quickly, very soon I’m gonna miss Z a lot when I go back to work.

Last Wednesday was the last day of our Mothers Group meet up at the Community Centre. So from now onwards, each members will take turns to host the catch up at their place. I still haven’t decided on which week to volunteer my place.
Wednesday outings with Z was something I look forward too.
I really enjoyed the mothers group session

Z is now 3 months old and weigh 5kg.She is now categorise as an infant.

At 3 months old, Z’s development milestones are below :
- a lot of cooings and sometimes giggles and laugh out louds.
- loves to suck on her fingers.
- sticking her tongue out and starring at us when we eat.
- bating and grabbing stuff from her play gym.
- able to do tummy time without throwing tantrums.
- like to kick and straighten legs when on her back, often quite vigorously.
- smiling at her own reflection when looking at the mirror.

As for me, I have returned to my original weight. Breastfeeding does help with weight lost. I’m happy
