Sleep : This sweetie has a new sleeping pattern. Usually she used to act in a crying-drama everytime she wants to nap but recently, she is a sweetie to us. She didn't cry before sleep, she didn't fuss, she's not cranky and she's so good! She fall asleep on her own! Thank you God! That's my girl ....... way to go baby! That's about her morning/afternoon nap.

When it comes to sleeping time at night, after her last feed, cleaned her, put her on her baby cot, and when it comes to the off lights moment, she started screaming. She hated the off-lights-moment when she's not sleepy and she still want some playtime. Looks like she's controlling us ehh? "I'm not sleepy and don't off the lights!" This cutie pie... how can we resist the pity look and scream? Off we go and switch on the lights and she continue with her playtime and few minutes later, she fall asleep on her own again, without us doing any effort! Not a single cry, not a single fuss, no pacifier, no white noise... nothing!

And here's another new sleeping routine tat we must do. She doesn't like her baby cot now, but she wants our king-size bed. She's sleepy and whenever we put her in her baby cot, she screams and struggles. We thought it is the hot weather that caused her to fuss, but even with the aircond on, she still screams and struggles everytime we place her in her baby cot. We decided to move her to our bed instead and......... the moment you carry her up, she gives you a hearty smile (tis lil baby, really knows how to play trick on us) and I put her on our bed. 1-2 minutes later, her eyes getting smaller and she fall asleep later on. So, what do you say with this? After she fall asleep on our bed, we will move her back to her baby cot. Hehe... sorry baby. Everytime when I think of all the cute funny things that she wants us to do, it makes me smile and miss her even more (especially when I'm at work). Despite all these, we love her more than words can say. She's always a cutie pie to us!

Food : 1.5 more months to go and I just can't wait to get her start on solid food! I've already thinking of what to buy and what to cook! Till then, it's still EBM for her.... =)

Best moment this week : She will be going for her 4 mths checkup this Sat (9 Feb) and we just can't wait for the good news on her weight, height and head circumference. The very best moment of this week is she fall asleep on her own without crying! Felt so relieved with this achievement in her because my heart ache every time she cries... Thank you Lord for answering our prayers!
