Jade's latest update

1. After really trying super hard... We managed to wean Jade off bedtime latch on. We hung on for a week! n it really pays off. Now when Jade seems sleeply at around8-9pm, we will bring her to bed, give her a little breast milk, play with her a while, cuddle n carry awhile, sing a bit, and then we can put her onto bed to pat her to sleep.

Last time, we always have to struggle to get her to bed and she always demand to be latch on. Now I only let her taste a bit, sometimes dun need to drink... I will cuddle, carry and sing... I think this is so much better. I hope she can sleep in childcare easily too.. (this is another story.. haha)

2. Jade is trying to feed herself.. and is doing quite well.. I always gave her a spoon and bowl and she always make a mess.. until recently, she can aim really well. and she is eating happier too.. maybe because she finds it easier too? She usually says "Jade jade eat!" she will open mouth and say, "Ah UM" and start to chew her food... still she keep changing the spoon to her left hand. but she cant scoop well, so sometimes she uses her left hand to put the food into the spoon and take the spoon using right hand to her mouth...

3. Jade really detest her stroller... She will scream and yell, "help!! help!" as if someone trying to kill her and jump on her stroller... anyway i ordered a piglet stroller and is coming in 2weeks time, I hope she likes it.. else it is difficult to bring her anywhere... she is now 10kg.. n 82cm.. no change since 3wks ago...

4. Jade's teeth. four front teeth are out and the others are halfway through, now only the molars still no news... I guess it will be a horrific experience because she just gone through a round of teething of 4-5 teeth. they cut out of her gums at the same time causing her to have low fever, complete loss of appetite and super crazy bad mood. I spanked her a few times only thinking she is throwing tantrums.. mum ask me to feel her gums, then i realised her crankiness is due to teething and i felt so guilty...

5. Now her appetite is better... ate a lot in fact. so i try not to let her eat too much suddenly.. but good to know that she is OKAY!!!!!

6. today is her first day of childcare!!! at first Jade quite enjoy her breakfast, because i am with her. n she dun wan to join her school assembly, she walked about the cc, and keep pointing to their indoor playground. I am with her until they left the playroom abt 10plus. Teacher took them into their classroom and starts to play a bit and then change diaper. then they eat lunch. slightly before they eat lunch, jade starts to cry. too many kids crying... n that most of them are new. after lunch, the teachers bath them... n jade cried thro i think. n after that they went to the classroom to play n wait to drink milk... n i went on to pick up Jade. She didnt cry when she sees me. n say bye n threw flying kisses to the teachers. but she seems so glad to see me.. hiaz.. my baby.. i m very proud of her!!! jia you!! Jade napping since 2pm.. i think she is super tired

7. just last week, then we realised Jade knows chinese of her body parts. she knows eyes, nose, mouth, hair, head, chin, cheeks, teeth, eye brow, armpit, leg, toes, fingers... but i never teach them in chinese. n my mum usually talk to her in baby language, if any... one night i say to her, "close your eyes" in chinese n I thought, "opps she dun understand" but she really close her eyes, so we try the rest in chinese. She knows where is eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, head, hair, leg, hand... wow.. hehe
