Baby Megan enjoys making sound as always but sometimes she looks like talking to you. When you respond to her, she says something again. We kept on talking to each other on Sunday morning.  One funny part is she sounds like singing.

Sunday Tea Time (March 22)

It's been always hectic on Sunday without Tine Tine and Ah Lun. After feeding and playing with Megan since 7am, I did not have much energy especially I might have caught the virus passed along by Ah Lun. I managed to take a short nap while baby was taking the 2-hour lunch nap. 

After the long lunch nap, it's feeding again and we had to rush going out to meet grandpa and grandma! 

Baby was very excited and we were sitting in the centre of the mall, there was too much stimulation which made baby getting tired very easily. Even though she's had enough rest before going out, she was yawning at around 4ish pm which is one hour earlier than her normal nap time. 

I feel so bad that we came late and left early, hopefully this will change when baby is getting older and she desires less sleep in the daytime.

Grandma is always over excited and baby is a bit scared.

Megan always have many facial expressions, I think this is genetic 

We did not expect my sister to keep on taking pictures of us. Omg!

No more pacifier!

Yay! We succeeded in teaching megan to sleep without the pacifier less than 3 days. Using the controlled crying method, we have gradually made megan sleep on her own without sucking. 

If we could turn our clock back, I still don't know if I would use pacifier to soothe my baby. When megan just came home from hospital, she's so insecure that she cried for two hours before settling to sleep. Recommended by pui yuet, we used the pacifier and megan could get to sleep easily. But things get worse especially since she could move on her own at around 3-4 months. 

After her tummy pain at wee hours is getting better, we decided to train her not to rely on her pacifier anymore. Quite a big decision to make!! 

We were prepared that she can cry up to two hours on the first night, as I heard from my boss and colleague. But Megan's dependence on dummy was not too heavy so she just cried for 20 mins on the first night. 

On day 2, Tine Tine continued to follow my instructions and she did not need pacifier anymore and she just needed approximately 5-15 mins to settle into her nap. On day 2 evening, when I put her to sleep after the hot bath, she just slept in 8 mins. 

From 20 mins to 8 mins, it's really not bad. According to Gina Ford, the habit can be broken in 3 days! It's just worked according to the plan. I cannot thank her more. 

It's the 5th day Megan's quit sucking her pacifier. She's learning how to go back to sleep at 4am and 5:45am, but I don't need to put back the pacifier into her mouth anymore, I just monitor from the ip camera from my bedroom. 

Just hope that her deep sleep can last longer after taking solids. Fingers crossed. 

If we need to roll out the plan, we need to make the room completely dark. As per Gina ford, baby can wake up and don't continue to sleep if they see some light. Our nursery room is so dark now that Ah Lun once tried to sit in the chair I was sitting because he could not see me there. LOL!

March 21

Taking megan and tine tine out to TST to get some fresh air today. Moving baby out of home is really difficult and time consuming. As Ah Lun is working, we were taking MTR which is not an efficient transportation when there's a stroller with you. 

Can you stop chewing your feet so I can dress you? 

Loving this bodysuit as she looks very sexy in it

Looking around! 

Omg! Your hair

Milestone // licking her feet

Megan realized recently she has feet and toes. This morning while I changed her diaper, she's chewing her toes in great efforts. 

It's hard for her to grab her chubby legs. 

Mom misses you!

Very precious time with baby after work. She's getting tired before bathing and she can collapse right after the hot bath. 

Daddy's idea!

You just cannot imagine why Ah Lun has such an idea of playing the mouse. The toy is now stuck into another mobile on Megan's high chair. The idea of hanging mousse is so funny. It made mommy laughing before entertaining megan. 

Scary and funny at the same time! Mommy LOL. 

First Sunday after resuming work

Tine Tine is off today so she could take a good break from megan. I know how terrible to stick with a baby and locked in the house 24 x 6! A holiday will make her a better care taker. 

On the other hand, it's a challenge for me because she's such a good feeder and she's fed Megan a lot in the last three days. She broke the record which was 5 bottles of 205ml......

Well, not sure baby was too full in the last few days, she took so little milk today making me very stressed. 

Today, I have to take her out to get some fresh air because the weather had not been nice lately. We bumped into daddy who's heading home after work. What a coincidence. 

I think she's getting bigger cheeks after having a daily milk intake of 900-1000ml for consecutive three days

Shes a daddy's girl

Why no one is helping to take a picture of mom and daughter?!
