sigh... tomorrow i have to get back to work !
i really enjoy this 7 days holiday, 'coz i can fully take care of my lill darling. there are a lot of amazing things during this week.
if we go to the park, she will nod her head while listen to the music from the children amusement shop. she loves to squat-and-stand back and forth picking up leaves, flower petal, or anything on the ground. surely i need to hold her arms. i try as much to let her socialize with other kids or babies, and also with other kids' parents, grandma or grandpa.
never before she bounces up and down on her legs, but then she got to see a girl of 9.5 months, bounces up and down, she also began to bounces up and down on her legs.
there are also a lot of people taking their dogs out to the park. i would always point the dog and 'bark' for her. she is happy to look at dogs and she can do 'dog barking' (of course in her own way... hah...hah...hah...!) .
she would also spread her arms and do a 'bird flying' when i say, "fly...little bird fly fly fly ..." i often spend sometime with her on the balcony to watch birds flying outside our apartment. i taught her to do the bird flying.
on the first day of holiday, i played guitar for her.
coincidentally she was holding a candy tin cap, with a hole on the cap (which can be used for putting facial paper). she took up the cap and played with her hand as if it were a guitar. we all burst into laughed, which stopped her. later on we gave her the cap again, i played the songs. hahahaha... she brought up the cap and action ... !
i taught her the words guitar (english) and ji-da (chinese). at night, to me it's amazing ... she pointed the guitar which i put besides the couch, and said "ji-da" very clearly.
nowadays, she also loves to look at pictures on book. there are some kinds of fruit, vegetable, tree, and ball pictures. i would repeat hundred times for her for each thing or fruit as she wishes. =) she can now turn the page by herself. sometimes if i have something to do, or need to clean up the house, i put her on the couch or on the bed, supply her with the book. she will be busy looking at the pictures by herself. now she also can pick up the things i mention. she also can understand when i tell her to give the thing to me, to daddy or to grandma.
few nights ago i play 'back massage' with her. we lie on bed, i pound her back slightly and said, "chui chui bei ...chui chui bei..." then i turn aside to let her face my back. i pound by back with my hand to show her what's the meaning of "chui bei". later on she uses her palm to also pound my back. now, everytime i said "chui chui bei ..." she would look for my back and pound with her tiny hand and giggle. sometimes if i'm feeding her meals, she holds my back with her tiny hand and pounds. i begin to understand that she wants to play "chui chui bei"
this week she is still learning to crawl (i suppose she is learning). often she squats down from standing, and takes the position near to "crawling". though later on it ends up with her on her tummy.
sometimes it's very difficult for us to carry her for pee. perhaps there is just no 'pee' at that moment, she would fling her head back viciously, stiffen into a bow shape backbend and cry .... eee....eeeeeah ..... to voice out her protest. fyuuuhh.... how can she be this strong ! my skinny arms almost cannot hold her in this way. her daddy likes to spank her butt in order to make her pee. it's her grandma's tips to make a kid pee. how would i spank my lill sweety if she doesnt want to pee? i would not force her. if she wets the cloth diaper, let her be... just another diaper to wash, not big deal.
there is one thing i want to do sooooo much actually, it's to let her try and 'play' eating by herself with a spoon, which i'm sure my parents-in-law will not agree. which i also believe all parents should let their baby do it.
no...no... not because i want her to be able to eat by herself and save energy from feeding her, but bcoz i strongly believe it's a learning process. what i often do is to let her play with a spoon and a bowl, without food in it. she often brings the spoon into her mouth. few months ago, if i said, "mama wants to eat." she would aim the spoon to my mouth.
Lin loves to call her, "xiao zhu tou" (means little piggy head), especially when she turns so naughty. she is a never-quiet naughty piggy head. if not part of her body moves here and there, it's her little mouth saying baby words or looking for something to eat when seeing us eating.
how we love this adorable lill piggy head. she brings us happiness and joy. especially for me, i always feel that i'm in love so much with her, more and more each day. this is the lill baby that i carried everywhere everyday for more than 9 months a year ago; moved and kicked inside me when we called her, talked or sang for her; lill baby that often 'hiccup' inside me; that made me so anxious and keen for coming out one week late from due date 23-Jun-05; that grew the right ideal size inside (instead of growing too big) just not to let her skinny mom suffer from pain during labor process (indeed i didn't feel too much pain during labor)
to us ... she is a miracle !
