Anyways, Kaitlyn gained a WHOLE KILOGRAM last month! Yay. I guess I can no longer say I am too worried about her weight. Although I am sure I will find something else to worry about in no time LOL. We weighed her last night, and thought the scale was broken, as it showed Kaitlyn 500gm heavier than last week. So we tried again, it then showed she was 300gms heavier. We took the 300gms, so Kaitlyn is now 8.1kgs. I tried to measure her height but it's no longer possible with her wiggling like a worm all the time. I guess the height measurements will have wait till she can stand still by a wall or something.
So what's new this month... mmm...
She weaned herself off wrapping altogether last week. After we stopped wrapping her arms, she was still held down to the bed with the SafeTWrap. But last week, she just kept screaming and crying when she slept and kept rolling to her tummy regardless how tight we wrapped her. So after 4 days without sleep for anyone, we thought we'd try to remove the SafeTWrap. She cried the first time she napped, then she was fine!! It turned out, she's a tummy sleeper, and didn't like being held to her back. Now, as soon as we put her in her cot, she turns to her tummy and lies there happily smiling at us LOL.
She's walking quite fast now holding onto something slightly. She's been trying to let go for seconds at a time, but I think she's still a bit afraid. I think she might actually walk on her own next month. She still can't crawl the proper way. She now crawls with her arms AND her toes LOL, it's hilarious to watch.
We've introduced pretty much everything we usually eat to her diet. Her usual daily is as follows:
- Between 4:30 and 6:30am, she wakes up for her early morning boob feed, for about an hour
- Between 8:30 to 11:00am, she wakes up for the day and has a bottle of 150mls of formula, then 30 minutes later, about 50mls of cereal and a tablespoon of fruit, a rice rusk and 30mls of water.
- She goes to nap for 1.5 to 3 hours after some play time
- Between 1:30 to 3:30pm, she wakes from nap and has a bottle of 150mls of formula, then 30 minutes later, 2 tablespoons of vegetables, about 50mls of rice cereal mixed with an egg yolk, then half a slice of cheese, with 30mls of water
- She doesn't nap in the afternoon anymore, so she just plays till dinner time
- 6:30pm on the dot, she has her dinner. She can put away 2 full bowls (the normal size asian rice bowl) of congee! We make congee with chicken, beef or pork, mixed with pureed vegetables. Even after her load of congee, she will still ask us for food when she watch us eat our dinner. So we occassionally just give her tiny pieces of whatever we are eating
- 8:00pm on the dot, she has her bath, gets dressed
- 8:15pm: She gets her before bed boob feed, I think this is more for comfort than meal as she doesn't really eat much and plays most of the time. Then she gets 90mls of formula to make sure she gets enough food for the night.
- 8:45pm, I read her the bedtime story "It's time for bed", gives her a few big hugs, and kisses, and puts her to bed.
I have been taking photos occassionally (wish I could take more, more often), but have yet have time to put them on the computer.
