Last nite Zann went to bed at 9pm, she would usually sleep till wee hours before she fussed for milk. Yesterday nite She decided to give me an unexpected surprise. She woke up at 2am and I gave her 240ml but she drank 120ml instead. And again, at 6am she asked me to get up. I am not sure if she is really hungry or doing it out of habit. I let her fuss for 20mins, in d end she scolded me, shouted for me to get up faster. Oh Boy! I am so tired. Guessed what, I passed her the milk bottle and the 180ml of milk was barely touched! She decided not to sleep and drink milk afterall. I leave her alone. Only then after an hour she returned to her slumberland.This morning she woke up at 11am. Feel like a walking zombie today. Super tired!
Her favourite 101 sleeping positions.
One thing I am very pleased of is, Zann loves books. She has even learnt to flip the flap, using her index finger pointing at the pictures. She would pause and talk to me (although I dont know what she is saying). But I still pretend to understand.
My blog has no value. Never mind la. It's the memories that count priceless.
Zann's not able to turn the activity walker which means mommy or any other able-bodied human who happens to be nearby have to get her getting around. It's been tiring but on balance, it is still a joy to see my daughter so excited about being on the move. The 'cheapo' keyboard that I gotten many mths back finally cant perform today. It is spolit by Zann from the everyday banging and dropping onto the floor. Looks like have to get new toys sooner.
Some parents (one such person is my mum) have doubts feeding the child yogurt, "is that safe?" she ll ask. Well yes it is. It is in fact very good for kids. Unlike cow's milk, the lactose in yogurt has broken down, so it is safe for lactose-intolerant kids. Futhermore, yogurt is rich in fat, calcium and protein, all the stuffs a child need more than just carbos. ( and that yogurt has more calcium than milk).
She saw me sitting on the ikea stool and wanted to follow. So I let her sit by herself with her toy. She was so pleased maybe that let her feels like an adult, busy playing with her 'doughnut' LOL
"See? I can balance without any support."
"Look Mummy! I am practising my somersault skill!"
Since I have the time on my hands, I always prepare her breakfast largely from scratch.

An update on Zann

Recent Diet :
Full Fat Cow's milk, it's the norm for babies to switch to cow's milk when after they hit 1. Zann has done the same and She loves Meiji milk.
Random feed of strawberry-vanilla yoghurt and milkshake
Recent favourite activities :
Standin up and down in the playpen, pointing at things gesticulating with index finger (Lucky it's index). Then came the clapping and constant babbling minus the shouting, and it is really as if having conversation with me yet I have no idea what she is saying :P
Watching Zann at 13 mths babbling and doing other weird funny stuffs really make me ponder, yeah there's still much more growing to do, and it's really a long hard ride learning to be parents from scatch.
