Milestone // finger sucking

Megan is 6 weeks old and she starts to use her tongue to explore the world lately. 

Today, I captured the moment she's tasting her fingers!! I am trying to stop her. 

Megan is asking when will be the milk ready? While we are waiting for the milk, she shows different faces to entertain us. 

Good girl look! 

Sleepy look! 

Mixed feelings look! 

Online shopping

Online shopping is my favorite activity when I cannot go out of home freely. 

There are so many baby product online shops, and I can even shop products that cannot be used immediately...

This is a product I have seen on a Japanese baby magazine a long time ago, but this brand is not available in HK or Taiwan.  This is not the Japanese version, as I ordered it from a US site. In fact, the brand is from Italy called Inglesina. 

絕對領域（可愛版）

Megan is wearing socks today and Ah Lun recalls the Japanese term 絕對領域

Its not something indecent but we find Megan's legs with cute white socks are so adorable. As you can see, Megan does not have chubby legs. All her fat goes to her chins, and she does not have any neck now!! 

人奶迷你倉

We have decided to buy a new fridge to store my expressed milk after we had difficulty in keeping them in good conditions with our current fridge. 

The current fridge was passed by my eldest sister may be 10 years ago when I was still living on my own in Quarry Bay. Fridge can really stay with you for a really long time. Before it was sent to me, it was also used for a while. 

Now, we got a much bigger Samsung one. It's so big that we have to remove the kitchen door to move it there. 

When I told tin tin that we are going to have a big fridge, Ah Lun told her that we could raise a penguin inside the new fridge. Tin Tin giggled. Ah Lun asked again with his usual funny look, "or do you want to have a polar bear?". We all laughed out loud. 

The critical situation in the old fridge! 

Over crowded!! 

New and big fridge by Samsung. 

I can have one full cabinet in the new freezer to store the expressed milk. So happy now. 

On a seperate note, my right breast is generating a lot more milk compared to left breast. And Ah Lun always joking that he feels shameful of my poor performance of my left breast in terms of milk supply. Today I thought he's helping me with the milk packaging, he actually wrote down this. That's hilarious. 

Need to write down date, time and amount of milk but Ah Lun filled in the last blank with something else. 

That's how it should look like normally.  By the way, these milk storage bags are quite expensive, given that I am using 5-6 bags per day. 

Melody Cake

I loved Melody when I was very young. I told Ah Lun about this one day, and he bought me the Melody cake from Maxim last night. When we cut the cake, no one did not want to kill melody because she's cute. 

Peek-a-boo

Kailan wanted to get a slice. 

Can you see Kailan next to the cake? 

By the way, the cake was mainly made of  strawberry mousse with chocolate cake. Frankly speaking, it's not delicious but very pretty. 

Kailan just wanted to sleep...

Kailan wanted to find a black hole to sleep in. She knew her way!

Sunday, a lazy yet busy day......

Well, this kid wanted to get my attention over baby Megan this morning. She jumped over my lap and hinted me to give her a hug. Let's snuggle on this lazy Sunday. 

When daddy's back around lunch time, Kailan wanted to get his attention too. She was sitting on my shoulder. How dare is she!! Totally no respect for me!! Luckily she did not fart, wee wee or poo poo. 

This happened all the time, dog and baby sleeping on/next to Ah Lun. Megan was so relaxed, and did not move at all. 

If you look in details, we had put her feet on Kailan's head. The dog was not moving too, because it's just so comfortable. 

I also passed the bathing challenge today without pui yuet. But I think it's such a long and tiring day for me, because I had not taken any rest.

This is just only half day. Tonight, Ah Lun will be working from 3am, so today's definitely a long one for both of us. Ah Lun, please don't get sick at this critical time. We will surely pass this hard time. 

Bathing Megan

Hohoho! I am so happy because I finally bathed Megan at ease today. After a couple of trials earlier this week, there are some transitions of positions I did not get them quite right. I requested to watch confinement lady to bath Megan once more yesterday, and I repeated the steps in my mind once again. Today, I finally made it. 

Tomorrow will be the real test because confinement lady will be on leave. 

Thanks Megan who loves bathing. Bathing a baby who does not cry is easier.

Sleeping Beauties: Kailan and Megan

Babies and dog just love sleeping! 

One is on her favourite pillow, the other one is on her stokke chair. Love this cute and peaceful moment and also we got some quiet time to enjoy watching TV. 

The new born set will soon be too small for Megan. Look at her long legs sticking out of the chair. By the way, she's actually not a big baby according to maternal and child care centre. Megan is only a baby with average size, quite surprising. 

Clever dog!

To play safe, we set up a gate to keep Kailan out of Megan's room. But Kailan is so smart that she learnt how to go in and out within a few days. 

We do not really completely lock the gate sometimes because we usually carry baby in and out with both hands occupied. If we need a complete lock, we have to lift the gate and push the button at the same time. Very troublesome. 

Due to the above reason, Kailan knows how to push the gate to come in. But when we scold her for coming in, she needs to escape quickly and therefore she learns how to go out. When we found out that she knew how to do it, we really laughed out loud. 

It's really funny to see her using her left paw to open the gate. It has now become a performance to entertain us. 

I have put the video on Instagram as a record. I love my dog because she's so funny.
