Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!
Yes, this post is about a great fall that Qi Yu had recently! It is mummy fault for being careless. Last Saturday, someone came and repair the curtain rail in the living room area where Qi Yu would normally have her nap. So that afternoon, we let her sleep in the guess room's bed. She can crawl now so we are quite weary about putting her on bed if no one is around. Hubby told me to check on her periodically and to listen carefully to any sound that Qi Yu may make when she wakes up. He was the one checking onnher while I was having lunch with Qi Ning. He told me to do that after lunch. I say ok but didn't do it immediately, a few minute later, I hear a "bom" then a loud cry. Rush upstair and saw Qi Yu on the floor. Pick her up and the poor baby sobbing away in her sleepy stage. Bad mummy for not taking the necessary step to ensure baby's safety. Thank God that there is no major injury. Sorry baby for causing you to fall!

33 months
When I look at Qi Ning, I am so amaze by the way she has grown. She is 33 months old today. I have lost track of her development but I just notice that she is growing by the day. She can hold a decent conversation with people now and she will ask you for the meaning of words if she doesn't understand it. Before we starts her with the Sunday School, she speak mainly in English but now, she can speak Mandarin pretty well. And she loves to look for Malay children and practice her Malay with them. She still is very freindly to other children but no longer hug them by suprise.
Like Mummy, Qi Ning loves to eat. Everything is tasty to her and she is not very picky eater. Her favourite is lolli pop/sweets. Every evening when I reached home after addressing me, her first request is "mummy, I want lolli pop! " :) She weigh 15kg now, height I didn't measure I think is about 94cm.
She likes to imitake what we do. She saw us eating noddles with chopstick and wanted to do the same. We let her tried and now she is an expert, she can eat a bowl of noddles with chopstick without help from us. Nowadays, she refuse to use the kiddie fork, she want chopstick!
She could recognise some alphabet and numeral. Mummy bought the "Spell to Write and Read" core materail, wanting to teach her but not yet had the time.
Ever since she tasted the glama of dancing on the stage, she often mentions that she want to dance on stage. She can sing many songs, I lost count of the songs oledi. Songs in Manadarin, English and Malay.
She is very much into pretend play nowaday, one minute she would the pregnant lady, next minute she would be the Doctor and then she would be the pilot. She is also into the building business, she will be bulding house using pillows, bolster and blanket! She would also change her identity, sometime she is a Malay, sometime would be an Indian.
She is quite mature for her age, understanding and generally well behaved. Sometime with her maturity, we forget that she is not even three yet. I am pleased with her overall development. I pray that she would grow into a balance adult, in favor of God and man.

"I am 欣柔 (XinRou)"
In the past, there are occasion when Qi Ning would say that her name is Xin Rou (Xin Rou is my brother's youngest daughter). And she would follow my nieces and nephews calling us "姑姑` 姑 丈 instaed of mummy and papa. But lately, she has been saying that she is Xin Rou all the time. When I call her Qi Ning, she would tell me "no, I am Xin Rou!" She is really into this pretend game. I usually just play along with her. Hubby was saying I shouldn't encourage it. I take it as part of her growing up phase where she pretend to be somebody else which is quite harmless but he think otherwise!

Blackout adventure
Two days ago, my area had a major blackout. The moment I reached home from work, hubby had the kids all ready just waiting for me so that we can go out for dinner. I was told that the eletricity was out since 5.00pm. We thought it might not be too long before the electricity would be back but we were very wrong!
We had dinner near by where there was current. After dinner we went home and still there is no electricity. So we decide we would bring the kids to shopping centre. We went to Jaya Jusco at Equine park. We walk around and have ice-kacang at the food court. We leave there at about 8 plus thinking that the current should be back by now. When we were near to home, we saw neighbouring flat have light so we thought it would be the same for our area but alas, when we reach our area still no electricity. So we had car ride around he neighbourhood and Qi Ning ask" Why we go round and round like a merry-go-round?" :) We round for 15 mins then decide we would head off to Tesco instaed of rounding in the neighbourhood. Then hubby decide that we should go look at our new church building instaed. So off we went again for our venture.
By then, I was quite tire and thirsty, so we stop at a mamak place for a drink. Oh, the coconut juice was wonderful and Qi Ning had her favourite roti tissue. By the time we had our supper and go home, still no elctricity. Went round the neighborhood again then off to Tesco. We were at Tesco till 10.30pm, we were all tired so decided to go home irregardless whether if there is elcetricity or not.
Hurray, when we reached home, we saw the light! By the time I showered and get kids ready for bed, it is well pass eleven. I thought they would be very tired and would doze off immediately but I guess they were over excited and didn't settle down after quite a while.
For the whole period of the blackout, I was so worried that all my milk stock will be melted. I counted the blackout lasted about 6 hours. I was so relieves when I checked on my milk stoke and found that they were not melted. Really thankful for it. Or else, seeing all the epressed breast milk thawing, I would cry!

7 Months
I dunno know where my time has gone for the past 7 months but I definitely see my baby growing by the day. Yap, my Qi yu is 7 months old now.
Her vital statistic didn't change much, her weight as of yesterday is 7.5kg and length is 68cm. For the past four month, she only put on 500g as she don't drink much for the time that I am at work. I am not very worry now with her slow weight gain because she is meeting her developmental milestone.
She has got a pearly white on her lower jaw. Still only only. Started her on solid last month. So now, every morning, when we are having our breakfast, Qi Yu is joining in. I will give her half of the egg york mixed with breast milk. She seem to like it. Afternoon, she either have prorridge (only with carrot or pumpkin) blended till smooth. She only have one to two spoonful of it. Fruits are also introduce to her diet oledi. She loves fruit and when we said "finished" and walk away she will be crying! So far, we have let her eat apple, mango, papaya and banana. Yesterday, mummy let her have a taste of durian, she seem to like it as well! Milk intake wise she still don't drink very much, ranging from 80ml -160ml for the duration that I am away.
She haven't sleep thru the night yet as she is still on reverse nursing. So at night mummy still need to nurse her.
She can sit unsupported now, quite stable oledi. She is starting to crawl from one end of the bed to the other end. I dare not let her crawl on the floor yet for fear she may hit her head on the floor. When I put a toy in front of her, she will crawl to reach for it.
OverallQi Yu is a cheerful baby. She is also becoming a sticky tape, sticking closely to mummy liao!

Separation Anxiety
Every morning, before I leave for work, I would hugs and kiss the girls then say my bye-bye. Qi Yu is at the stage where she knows that bye-bye means mummy is going off to work. And when she hear me saying bye-bye to her, she would starts to cry and upon seeing me walking out the door, the wail is even louder. That would make my feet very heavy upon leaving the house. :( I guess she is at the stage of separation anxiety.
Every morning, I would have to carry her first until she is satisfy then I can pass her to the maid without her making a fuss. But if I don't carry her and the maid pick her up directly from the bed, she would be wailing away! This is my Qi Yu, wanting to have her share of mama! :)
Qi Ning is quite ok with me going off as long as I give her a hug and a kiss. But sometime she would still ask that I don't to office or making request to follow me to office. I promise her I would bring her to my office one of this day. So next Staurday, when I am having the family week event, I will bring her to my office.

Flu bugs
During labor day holiday, we took Qi Ning and Qi Yu for a morning swim with my brother's kids. I think Qi Ning is not used to the cold water in the morning, she got a running nose after that and then follow by cough. She has been having a cough and running nose since then!
Good thing is that there is no fever and she is still very active. When give her medication, she would co-operate and take her medication without a fuss. At time she would request for medication herself! She would ask me to pray for her to get well soon.
The flu bugs seem to be active in my home now, hubby is down as well and I can hear Qi Yu coughing every now and then. And mummy seem to be getting it as well. Hopefully, we will all get well soon!

Six Month Old
Is amazing to see how a child develop each day. My Qi Yu is already 6 months old two days ago. I was too busy to blog about her development. Her weight is about 7.3kg and length about 67cm. Still not drinking very much for the time that I am away but since she is putting on weight and is on reverse nursing, I am not too worried now.
Supposed to start her on solid but I have not teach the maid how to yet so I am putting it on hold. Her first pearly white is noticeable now. And she is able to sit by herself without support but still not very stable yet.
Emotionally, she is able to show her "jealousy". What I mean by that is she would cry if she see me carry her jie jie and not her when I return home from work or early in the morning when we first wake up. If the maid will to take her from me, she would also protest by crying. She knows how to stretch out her hand toward me when she want me to carry her.
She don't really like to sit in her carseat and would often protest when we put her in her carseat. She would protest so loud when we insist that she stay in her carseat. The minute we take her off carseat, she will be smiling. So is going to be a battles to make her sit in her carseat because she sort of know if she scream loud enuf she will be off the hook. So daddy & I really need to learn to put a deaf ear to her screaming in order to train her.
She is an alert baby, don't like to sleep very much. She brings us lots of joy as well just like Qi Ning. I really thank God for the two precious girls!

Pearly white
My Qi Yu's first pearly white has finally emerged thru' the sore gum on the lower jaw! Can't see very clearly yet but can see only the tiny bit on top if you are observant but if you feel it with finger, it is quite sharp. I think a few more is on it's way. Some said so early got teeth oledi ya, some said so late only got teeth ya. I also dunno whether is early or late, for me as long as is healthy, can oledi. I can't remember when did Qi Ning cut her firth tooth.
Is really amazing to see the little one grows. My Qi Yu now can really show her preference. Whenever I pass her to the maid she would complaint so loudly. If the maid is carrying her, not for long she would be making noise. If hubby or myself take over, her noise will subside immediately. She obviously knows her parents. I just loves her as I loves Qi Ning! :)

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!

God's Protection
This incident happened quite sometime back about two three months ago. I didn't get a chance to write it down and today it came to mind to blog about it as I am thankful to God for His protection over Qi Ning.
It happened on the wee hour one morning when I was up nursing Qi Yu. I can hear the sound of Qi Ning rolling in the bed. I turn to her direction and saw the bolster falling down the bed and next I saw Qi Ning rolling down from the bed! My heart sank seeing what take place and I was hoping the odd against odd that she would land on the bolster but the chance is really slim.
God must have heard my silence cry and yes she landed on the bolster "beautifully" as if she was just rolling down to hold on to the bolster. She was not even awaken by the fall, hubby heard my cry, woke up to see Qi Ning on the bolster down on the floor and he just carried bolster and her to the bed. And my girl just continue on sleeping! :)
At that moment my heart filled with thanksgiving, if not because of God's protecting hands, I can foresee a big "bangolow" in Qi Ning's forehead. The next day I told her of the incident she just smile, I wonder if she was aware of the fall or not!
So nowadays when I am up nursing Qi Yu middle of the night, I am always on the alert, listening to Qi Ning's movement just in case she roll down the bed again. I am trying to get her to move to her own bed as she is still squeeze in the middle of hubby and me. She is not willing to leave our bed and mummy isn't insisting as well. I dunno whether I should insisit that she move to her own bed now or wait till she ready then move her. If I insisit, I foresee some battle and teary nights.
Actually after the incident, I have been sweet talking to her and tell her to sleep in her own bed. This how the conversation goes during the night time before chinese new year:
Mummy: Qi Ning, you jie jie oledi, must sleep in your own bed, Qi Yu also sleep in her own baby cot.
Qi Ning: Wait, Chinese new year ok
Mummy: After CNY you must sleep on your own bed ok?
Qi Ning: ok mummy
During CNY, when were at my mum's and in-law, she did keep to her word, sleep on her own on and not squeeze between us. Even when I offer her to hop on the bed to sleep with us for a while early in the morning she would refuse telling me that CNY oledi she must sleep on her own. So i thought she would keep to her words and do the same when we returned home.
Alas, the first night at home after CNY is back to the usual, she wanna sleep on mummy's bed! And now when I ask her to sleep in her own bed, she tells me wait till her three year old birthday. See, how clever my girl is at bargaining!
It happened on the wee hour one morning when I was up nursing Qi Yu. I can hear the sound of Qi Ning rolling in the bed. I turn to her direction and saw the bolster falling down the bed and next I saw Qi Ning rolling down from the bed! My heart sank seeing what take place and I was hoping the odd against odd that she would land on the bolster but the chance is really slim.
God must have heard my silence cry and yes she landed on the bolster "beautifully" as if she was just rolling down to hold on to the bolster. She was not even awaken by the fall, hubby heard my cry, woke up to see Qi Ning on the bolster down on the floor and he just carried bolster and her to the bed. And my girl just continue on sleeping! :)
At that moment my heart filled with thanksgiving, if not because of God's protecting hands, I can foresee a big "bangolow" in Qi Ning's forehead. The next day I told her of the incident she just smile, I wonder if she was aware of the fall or not!
So nowadays when I am up nursing Qi Yu middle of the night, I am always on the alert, listening to Qi Ning's movement just in case she roll down the bed again. I am trying to get her to move to her own bed as she is still squeeze in the middle of hubby and me. She is not willing to leave our bed and mummy isn't insisting as well. I dunno whether I should insisit that she move to her own bed now or wait till she ready then move her. If I insisit, I foresee some battle and teary nights.
