My First Fall!

28 July 2010 (Wed)

Day 52 - And I already experienced my first fall today :( And thank goodness there was a paper box and walls to cushion my fall against the otherwise hard floor. It all happened whilst mommy left me on the changing mat on the table after my morning bath, thinking it will be a quick 5 minutes to brush teeth and wash up. BIG MISTAKE!!

Mommy heard a loud thud and wondering what that could be - 6th sense tells me to check out the baby and was shocked when I couldn't find him on the changing mat. Where else could he have gone to... or wait a minute, perhaps I have left him at the cot or?? There he was, looking slightly sheepishly and cornered by the 2 walls and lying on top of the paper boxes! Panicky and worried, Mommy quickly picked me up and check if there are any visible injuries.. no, this brave warrior seems to be oblivious to the fall and there was no fussing nor crying at all. Phew...

What if its internal bleeding or other complication?? Oh no... I will have to be monitored closely for the next 24-48 hours to make sure I am really ok. At least the next milk feeding seems smooth.. we shall see.

A harrowing experience indeed!

Yes, don't think of them as immobile new born anymore... they are smarter/more capable than what you think they are.

Now, its back to the bumper mat on the floor!!

I am 1 Month old today!

Zee How First 30 days - see how I grow!

Growing up...

Reality finally set in as Zee Yann realised the precious time has to be split with dearest baby brother. More screaming can be heard to seek our attention, or in retrospect, it could be our own yelling at her that she is simply mimicking... She also started to pull Mommy to do something/play with her which she has seldom or rarely done it before, cos Mommy always goes to her instead of her pulling me. More time-outs have been meted out and she seem to be in deep thoughts at time... at one point, Mommy suddenly feel that little Zee Yann has indeed grown up, but will always be our little sweetheart in our heart.

At other times, she is still very sweet to her baby brother : )



The other major milestone that Zee Yann has finally reached is that of toilet/potty training. Alas, all was over within a few days as she came home on 28 June without her diaper on from school! All the months of mini toilet training at home finally paid off. And on 30 June she even managed to poo in the potty after Mommy caught her "doing her big business" whilst still in her training pants! Quickly she was ushered to the potty and BINGO! That's IT - the next challenge will be to ensure naptime stays dry too while Mommy thinks that nighttime diaper free days are still quite some time away... when the time comes, it will come.
