Friendly girl

My Qi Ning has always been quite friendly but lately I think she is being over friendly with children whom are stanger. No matter where we are, be it in a shopping mall, restraurant, park or anywhere, when she see other children, irregardless of race and age, she would run towards them, sometime trying to hug them, hold their hands, and wanting to strike a conversation. Some of the children that she approach would make friend with her and some would not know how to react. I think some parents were taken aback by her action and I have to apology on her behalf.
I have to teach her how to be friendly without being intrusive and also not to be over friendly. Good thing she is only extra friendly to children. If she also so over friendly with adult, I would be very worried!

Going on strike?

I am not sure what is the cause but my Qi Yu's milk intake is of concern to me for the past few weeks. She has never really like to drink from the bottle but no choice because I am a working mum. One month before I go back to work I oledi training her to drink EBM (expressed breast milk) from the bottle but she would cries and drink, only 20-30ml. Slowly, she is getting used to the bottle and not protesting as much. But she milk intake is still quite low ranging from 160ml- 240ml for the time that I am at work. But for the past two weeks, her milk intake has dropped to 100ml, yesterday was the lowest thus far, 80ml only for the whole duration that I am away!
Her last feed before I leave to office is about 7.00am then she will wait for me to nurse her gaain at about 6.0pm. For the whole time that I am away, I think she just drink the minimal to keep her from getting real hungry. And her mininal is getting less and less by the day. I am not sure if it because she is just not interested in the milk or she is protesting that Mummy is going away and she is on a hunger strike or she may be teething! I remember when Qi ning is her age, she drank about 350-400ml for the same duration that I am away. I always worried that my supply will not be enough for her. Now my fridge is full of EBM, some is going to be expire soon! Hopefully her appetite will come back soon so mummy does not have to worry about her growth!

"I want to be so beautiful"

My Qi Ning is at the stage where she wants to look beautiful everyday. For the past few weeks, every morning she would go to her wordrobe to look for pretty dress. She would not wear her usual casual dress or T-shirt. She epsecially like those dress that when you turn around, it will flair up to make a beautiful circle like a dancer. She would tell me " I want to dance with the prince you know or not?" (She is into her Cindrella story!) And guess who is her prince? Her beloved papa!
Last night, I was playing with her and she was pretending to paint her nail with those colourful play dough. And she wanted to "paint" for me, telling me it would looks so beautiful if I paint me finger nail and toe nail. She saw my sister and sister-in-law had their finger nail and toe nail painted and now she wanted to paint her finger nail and toe nail as well. I don't use much of the make-up so she doesn't ask me for the lipstick and thing yet.
One of my niece who is two year her senior keep long hair and my Qi Ning has been wanting to keep long hair like her as well. She would envy my niece whenever she saw her hair all tied up with all the nice hair accesseries. Whenever she refuse to eat her green, I will just ask if she would like her hair to grow long like Rou Rou jie jie, she would nod her head and happily eat her green!
I guess girl would always be girl, wanting to be beautiful!:)

Five months old

Not so long ago, she was only a new born baby and now she has turn five month old. I guess when you have a little one around, you can't help but be reminded that time flies!
My Qi Yu turn five month old on Saturday. This little girl of mine is getting more and more plaful by the day. She will laugh so loud when I hold her and dance with her jie jie. She just loves to have people play with her especailly children.
Have not weigh her recently, but don't think she put on much recently because she don't drink much milk when I am away at work, someday as little as 140ml for the eleven hours that I am away. She has grown taller. I think she is in her teething stage as she starts to bite when she nurse. I have to repeatedly remind her not to bite. She loves to put everything into her mouth. She especially like to put her second finger i.e the pointer into her mouth. She can aim so accurately!
This girl of mine don't like to be in lying down position, she loves siting up. When put her in lying down position, she will try her best to lift up her body as if doing sit up! I think she will be sitting up on her own quite soon.
If she doesn't like anything she will make sure that you know of her dislike first by her mild protest. If you ignore her protest, it will proceed to loud protest! Overall she is a cheerful baby. I just loves my baby!

Adoring gaze

I have been enjoying this special moment with Qi Yu for the past few weeks. I usually put her in my sling when I go grocery shopping. I hold her on the sling, facing me so I can see her. One time, I notice that she was tilting back her head and gazing on me adoringly. I gaze back at her and we have our sweetest moment of exchanging adoring gaze. From then onward, every time I put her on the sling, we will have our special moment of gazing at each other. I really enjoy this special moment. I can't describe the kind of feelings that I have when we gaze into each other's eyes. It is so peaceful and feel like the world is revolving around only us, so much jo as well.

Qi Ning was on the lime light during my brother’s company products launching at Merriort Putrajaya on 26th March. It was a not a planned thing for Qi Ning to be on stage just a spontenous call by the EMcee. There were fashion shows and also a Malay singer cum emcee hosting the whole events. Qi Ning saw people walking on the stage and heard the music, she wanted to join in the fun. She kept telling me "mummy, let’s dance." So I just let her dance on the floor. Who knows, in between the program, the emcee was looking to see if there were any children around. He already gotten two Malay boys on stage and was looking for girls. Hehehe, he pick Qi Ning to go on stage with him. He asked if Qi Ning wanted to dance and Qi Ning say yes. At first I thought Qi Ning might not follow him to the stage but she did!
The emcee was a bit "cheong hee" did a lots of talking before he actually show the kids the dance that he wanted them to do. He don’t know how to speak to Qi ning and was just making some gibberish sound. My brave Qi Ning just shake and dance away in her own style when the music starts. Upon seeing her movement, the crowd just clapped and cheer her on. I guess when she suddenly realised that the spot light was on her , she became self-conscious, got scared and wanted to come down from the stage immediately. Didn’t even want to stand on the stage for another minute to collect the present!
