Dear Baby,
Amazingly we have reached the same amount of time it took you to be incubated, in mummy's tummy, to being on this planet.
You'll be going to the clinic for check up next week, the last check up was when you were 6 months and they say see you in three months, which is time...
Using the digital weighing machine at home, you're still at 9.8kg, height we don't know, we never did get around to popping by the clinic to do all that did we.
You're eating mostly on your own, unless you're with nenek who likes to feed you, I think so you wouldn't make so much mess that she'd have to clean up, which mommy have a lot of arguments with nenek about that because its reducing your chances of learning. Mommy try to get you home early so you can eat on your own, and been making baby friendly food items to ensure that you try a whole range of taste. There is teriyaki chicken balls and wontan waiting in the fridge today...
You pull yourself up more and more and at times let go and you'd stand on your own two feet for a few seconds. If you want to be carried you'd crawl over and pull yourself up and your arms reaching up as high as possible looking up with expectation on your face. You like pulling yourself up any opportunity you can get, when you're on the bed, you pull yourself up using the headboard, when you're on the sofabed, you pull yourself up on the back rest. You pull yourself up against anything...
You'll only play with your toys if someone else is playing with you.
You're showing separation anxiety recently when mommy have to go back to work at lunch times. You don't show it when mommy leave you in the mornings. Maybe you weren't fully awake yet maybe...
Since mommy had taken up indoor cycling classes in the evenings, daddy's the one that picks you up from nenek's and you get time with daddy until mommy gets home.
We have Auntie Maricel come over to the house once a week or every two weeks to help clean, and when she's done you get to play with her as she really entertains you a lot and you're quite taken with her and that's when mommy take the opportunity to go spend some time in the studio. Mommy and daddy thought of maybe getting her to become your caretaker during the week days as you're getting to be quite a handful for nenek now, not to mention heavy.
You already got your second dose for the rotavirus vaccine a couple of weeks ago, the doctor said better to start when you were 12 weeks old for better immunization, will keep that in mind for the next sibling.
You're also turning to be a heavy wetter now, so mommy have been researching for the best night time solution, so far it seems to be a fitted with wool cover. Well, either that or mommy just have to diaper change you at 6 in the morning, just that sometimes I get too tired and can't wake up in time like this morning for instance and you leaked.
As soon as we get our hands on a potty you're getting potty trained, got to get it off Uda, she said she'll lend one. You don't have your usual indications of when you're eliminating like before which is harder now but must try anyway...
It's good that daddy likes babywearing you, but sometimes he'll forgo the sling so he can get some exercise he says. Mommy planning on using the SSC soon, have to watch the instructional DVD to refresh the memory.
You're back to taking EBM, we're now a week ahead of the expiration date, and nenek said your stock there is out, so tomorrow must remember to bring some over when I drop you off. And mommy's output has increased as well, I'm up to expressing three and over cups now, I just need to match it with your intake and a bit more to make sure the freezer is stocked up. I must remember to use the new techni ice pack I got for the cooler bag...
We have already registered you for pre kindy for next year, early registration ensure you get a spot since they only have space for 30. Mommy just wait for the interview phone call and also will start taking you for the weekly afternoon session play group so you'll be familiar with the place by the time pre kindy starts, probably next year.
Mommy would like to take you for pool play and they say it's best in a babies swimming group, the babies swimming group I know isn't swimming anymore, nuts...
That's all mommy can think of the top of my head for the moment, more new things to come...
Love,
Mommy
