Rou Rou's 10 months old! Each month is like a little milestone and I'm glad I'm putting down the little details on this space because nowadays, I can't seem to remember much about the kids when they were young and it's nice just to browse through the pages reliving the old times.
She can respond to the instructions "give" and "clap". Waves hi. Raises her hands when you declare "hallelujah!". Throws her head back and laughs. Observant and quick to respond by grabbing (especially) the "forbidden fruits". Sticks her tongue out slightly and does her phooo, sending saliva splattering all over. When my phone chimes to alert me to an incoming message, she'll flip her head really quickly in the direction where I keep my phone. Still puts everything into her mouth. Outgrew her pair of M-sized shooshoos (courtesy of livingjoyfully). On three bottle feeds a day, six ounces each time.
Still no sign of teeth, but the hair's coming in!
Still bathing in her green tub, and enjoying every minute of it.
Pulling herself up with whatever's available. At time of publishing, the papasan chair's been sold.
Crawls around the house looking for me when she realises I'm out of sight. Loves crawling to the dining table, pulling herself up against our legs and begging for food. If unsuccessful, cry like she's not had a bite to eat since the beginning of time.
Latest craze: tunneling. Good thing she's short enough to stand up under the table.
And now there are two.
My two children and their individual choices of satisfaction.
Gimmi a hug!
Rou's always trying to be affectionate and of course, we are all but crutches to the kiddo who's trying to stand. Doesn't help that she scratches and grips while she's at it, and the brother's not too keen on getting hurt. Here's Rou trying to be part of the action while Papa's getting Gabe into his PJs.
The bull pretty much bulldozes her way through, over, under whatever barriers are in her way.
Once in a while, I still get overwhelmed with the fact I'm a mother of two, that I'm in my 30s, and that they are growing up so fast!
Smile at the camera please, Mei.
That's more like it.
At 10 months, Rou was definitely smaller than her brother when he was the same age. On a separate note, I love sleeping babies.
Rou with her maternal grandparents.
Rou's style: grabbing your clothes with her right hand when you carry her, as if to up the sense of security.
Happy birthday Papa! Erm... what's a birthday?
Ah... nice breeze and view of the ocean, with waipo and her sisters.
Happy family!
