Its has been quite eventful this month for me. It may be hard to see from the picture but one of the most important thing that can happen to a baby my age is happening to me! Yes! I am teething and it is NOT fun! Why? Cos' its really irritating and sometimes painful.. First it was just one little tooth appearing just under my lower gum (middle right) and that made me cried a few times in my sleep for 1-2 days before it broke through my gum. But just as i was feeling more comfortable, the little tooth's friend next to it started to appear too! Now i am having problem sleeping again.. Thankfully Mami is always there to carry and pat pat me whenever it hurts. She also tried to put some gel on my gum (yucks.. it makes me gag) but that only works for a while. Sometimes it helps when Mami gives me a icy cold teether but i still feel that the teething rusk works the best. It makes my gum feels better and taste good too! But of cos' i also make a big mess whenever Mami gives me one. Heh heh heh.
Anyway, teething is a really difficult business for babies. First, it is painful. Second, it makes me drool alot. Hence Mami has to do alot of wiping... on my face.. my clothes.. my toys.. the floor mat. She tried putting on a bib on me but i hate wearing the bib so i always pulls it off. Now Mami threatened to sew one on me permanently but i dont think she will do it la.. Hahaha. But teething is not all bad... because i feel something constantly in my mouth, i am starting to be more aware of what my mouth can do, like making sounds! So nowadays, i am quite 'talkative'. I am also more aware of the things that goes into my mouth. Somethings i can bite and its okie (e.g. like my teether) but biting some other things can be quite painful (e.g. like my plastic stacker)! Mami is abit worried that i may break my teeth but on the other hand, she is quite happy to see me 'biting', 'chewing' or, like she said, 'gumming' my food. This mean i can eat more things that has texture instead of the same old boring 'soupy' or 'watery' stuff!
Like what i've said in the previous post... i am now eating quite a bit of things. On top of what i've last posted, Mami has made me this really delicious Baby Beef Stew for me a few days ago. This is my first time eating beef and it was YUMMY! It has sauted beef, carrots, tomato, cooked in stock, and i ate it with my multigrains cereal. Wow.. even Dadi wanted some cos' it was so tasty. Mami also let me tried honey dew, which i didnt quite like. But i think i might have liked it better if my gums weren't hurting so much during that meal time. Maybe i should try it again. Mami also made me a funny combi meal using califlower, potato and cheese blended together, eaten together with couscous. It was not bad! Mami said she will make me more 'Western' food on top of my favourite porridge because she has a new baby book with new recipes (it's called "Your Feeding Questions Answered" by Annabel Karmel). I think Mami is very interested in the book cos' she is always reading it. Heh heh now i wish my teeth can all pop out so that i can enjoy all the food!
This is me with my 姥姥. Do we look alike? Many people said that i look like a boy, esp when Mami dress me up in pants. Aiya, that's cos' i have short hair mah. See! My 姥姥 also has short hair wot.. how come no one say she looks like a boy?? 姥姥 and 公公 just went back to Singapore after visiting us for 2 weeks. Now the whole house is quite quiet lor. Last time 公公 will carry me in the morning and play with me so that Mami can rest abit longer. Now cannot already. Oh well... 公公 said that they will come and visit me again in 3 months time, so hopefully i can show them more of what i can do. Now i am learning to crawl (Mami say its creeping cos' my stomach is still on the floor) and pulling to stand (Mami still need to help me with this one). So when 姥姥 they all come, i hope to show them that i can do them on my own already, or even more things!
