Baby eating toufu

9 months 26 days

Today baby tried toufu. She finished one-sixteenth of the packed toufu from NTUC. She showed interest initially. But got bored halfway through. 

We'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully she still show interest. 

I had just acknowledged the fact that... Maybe... Baby rejecting food is a phase for some babies... Maybe... 

It has been a long tiring 2 months, battling her with choices of food, feeding her or she self feed. And it's even more demoralising when people just comment with the intent of saying "You never try enough". Like really...... You should see what happened at every meal, everyday, the past few weeks.

OMG this is sooo true.

• Baby food? Blech!
  But she kinda hates all types food now. Sighs... Not sure how to go about doing this now. A little out of options. I made baby food babier, I made not so baby food, I gave her food to eat by herself, I changed types of food... I either get a tightly shut mouth, a screaming and crying baby, or food thrown on the floor instead of going near her mouth.
• Look at me stand!
  She just LOVE the dangerous places to attempt her muscle building. Gosh. I have to keep my eyes AND arms glued to her. Then she keep flipping to reach for the rails to stand up, while in her sleep. Not complaining as much as the food. LOL.
• You strangers are scary!
  Still not that bad, but she doesn't let me put her to play by herself for long. The velcro got stickier. 5 minutes in the playpen or highchair, she wants out. And she means it. With screaming and hot tears pouring out. Then the moment I pick her up... Silence. Gosh. 

Baby sits up by herself

9 months 11 days

I was on the phone (on speaker) with my Dad, while baby rolls around on the bed, when suddenly she got from lying down to be sitting up. I was like.. "She JUST SAT UP" LOL.

Baby actually did sit up by herself once before this. Just once. And it's in the middle of the night when she wakes for milk. I was shocked. Next morning I ask hubby if I dreamt it all up. Hahah..

Aiyo... See her chubbiness. Her tummy. My baby. 

Preloved Baby Cot

Baby is at the stage where she's learning to crawl, sit and stand. She loves to stand in her cot. But the bad thing is she doesn't know how to sit down slowly. Ouch. 

Well since she's learning the above, I can't possibly keep her in a highchair, exersaucer or carry her as often, i debated for quite some time internally and I finally gave in to getting a preloved playpen. 

$60 for the playpen and a mattress. Quite ok right? Hmm. 

The happy kids. 

Happy 9 Months Old

Baby turns 9 months today. She is over 10kg (I'm glad I'm still able to provide for her). She has four cute baby teeth. She is able to pull herself up to stand in the cot. She is able to (leopard) crawl to get her toys. She babbles papa, mama and ahteh (i guess she's calling Latte). She still wakes 2-3 times at night for milk. She still rejects most of the solid food I prepared. She is our beloved baby girl. Grow and learn at your own pace darling. XOXO

PS.. She poop while we were having the photoshoot. And she dirtied this new cute romper for her 9 month old photoshoot. Luckily I managed to get 8 good photos for the collage.
