30 Weeks!

When I type the title 30 weeks, it reminds me of my 30 weeks pregnancy. And at that time, I was counting down because 10 more weeks to go and we will cuddle our sweet baby. Hehe... Back to her milestones.


Date : 25 Apr 2012

How far along : 30 weeks

Weight : 7.77kg

Height : 65cm

Sleep : Not much changes. Just that usually she will nap after we fetch her home from bbsitter's place, but now she didn't want to nap at all. No matter how tired she is, she will drag herself and overtired herself and then when she's overly tired, she burst. That's when the crankiness came in.... For the past few days, she usually nap from 10/11pm to 7am. =)

Food :  We tried sweet potato this week and on the first try, rashes came out near her mouth. Sigh... I really pray that she outgrow from all the allergy because as a growing baby, she needs a lot of nutrients, especially Iron. We stop for a day and today we try again. Hopefully no more rashes. If ok, then I will move on with sweet potatoes + carrot. Please keep her in prayer that she outgrows the allergy.

So far, she has tasted:
1) Ninolac Rice Cereal 4mths (no allergy)
2) Cerelac Rice Cereal 6mths (allergy)
3) Heinz Apple & Mango puree 4mths (no allergy, she doesn't like it cause sour)
4) Heinz Peas & Zucchini 4mths (no allergy, but she dislike the vege smell)
5) Heinz Farley's Rusks 6mths (no allergy, she loves it. But mommy dislikes it, because too sweet)
6) Home cooked porridge with anchovies + carrot (allergy)
7) Bellamy's Organic Baby porridge (no allergy, she loves it when added some milk)
8) Cerelac Rice + Soy (lil of allergy)
18.4.12 ~ Ninolac Wheat and milk cereal 6 mths ( no allergy, but high sugar content. Mommy dislikes it)

23.4.12 ~ Sweet potatoes puree ( rashes near the mouth.. .sigh )

Best moment this week: Very very good news! Her 2nd chopper is sprouting! We noticed the 2nd white pearl on 20 Apr, 27 weeks 2 days. I knew it has been there for sometime, just that I didn't notice it. And she looks a lot like bunny now. lol. Hopefully she has strong teeth, but we know that this is the fairy tooth and we should get a fairy envelope to keep her fairy tooth. Hehe... On the other hand, she can lift up her body but still couldn't crawl yet. I believe it's soon. And her back is stronger, she can sit quite straight.

My toothless grin is gone!

 27 Weeks 3 days

7 April 2012

Your first tooth you welcomed with a grin

Daddy and Mommy gave you a happy cheer. 

Daddy and Mommy are so excited

As the white pearl flourished like a tree.

We treasured your new feature

because your toothless grin is gone!

29 Weeks, She's growing very fast!

Date : 18 Apr 2012

How far along : 29 weeks

Weight : 7.77kg

Height : 65cm

Sleep : Past few days, she woke up early in the morning, poo-ed and rolled and guess what happened? Her whole back + bedsheet was coated with yellow watery poo all over. I wonder if she's having diarrhea or whatever, or perhaps it could be breastmilk that caused the poo to be more watery. Mamy poko is leaking... or I didn't wrap it tight enuf. Cleaning poo early in the morning when you ARE already late for work is not fun. But it's still funny when you see her innocent face early in the morning, as if she's saying "Sorry mommy, baby gives you an extra job early in the morning" haha.

Food :  We checked with her PD last weekend and we were told not to feed any rice related products until she's 1yo. This could be a really long journey, no rice until 1 year old. Furthermore in Malaysia, it is hard to find baby cereals that has less sugar and those that has no sugar are Organics and those non-organics without sugar are not found here. How? I've tried to find this brand, Gerber Oatmeal everywhere in KL, but I couldn't find it. I've thought of shipping this all the way from US from iherb.com but I wonder if this will reach me successfully or I would need to pay customs fees/tax. And how much could the customs fees cost incase I am charged? Sigh.... should I order or shouldn't I.

So far, she has tasted:
1) Ninolac Rice Cereal 4mths (no allergy)
2) Cerelac Rice Cereal 6mths (allergy)
3) Heinz Apple & Mango puree 4mths (no allergy, she doesn't like it cause sour)
4) Heinz Peas & Zucchini 4mths (no allergy, but she dislike the vege smell)
5) Heinz Farley's Rusks 6mths (no allergy, she loves it. But mommy dislikes it, because too sweet)
6) Home cooked porridge with anchovies + carrot (allergy)
7) Bellamy's Organic Baby porridge (no allergy, she loves it when added some milk)
8) Cerelac Rice + Soy (lil of allergy)
18.4.12 ~ Ninolac Wheat and milk cereal 6 mths ( no allergy, but high sugar content. Mommy dislikes it)
I've decided to include the date I introduce new food to her, just incase I need this record in future. =)  

Best moment this week: Her fairy tooth is becoming more obvious especially when gives you a wide smile. She's becoming more talkative, with her hooo-haaa-baaaa-hiaaaa many more baby languages. Can't wait for the day she calls you mom & dad. =))

Restorante Italiano Capricciosa @ Pavilion, KL

We've heard of this restaurant many many times and heard of good comments that the pasta here is very good. We wanted to try so much but with the princess around, it could be a sort of difficult meal together, so we chose to have lunch together during weekdays instead. Finally, we got the taste how good is the pasta.

 

 We ordered the set lunch which cost FROM 16.90 and comes with a plate of salad and drink (ice lemon tea/carbonated drinks).

 

 Our side order : Peppermint milk shake (RM9.90)! Very very delicious..... I love it much.

 Ala carte order : Pappardelle with Porcini and Eringi Mushroom in cream sauce (RM26.90) We've not tasted Pappardelle before and surprisingly, I just love the texture. It's freshly made and very elastic. This is a really good meal. Try this and no regrets! *sounds like I'm the promoter for Capricciosa, but no doubt, this is a really good pasta restaurant*

 Main course from the set lunch (RM24.90) ~ Spaghetti with crab meat in tomato cream sauce. Nice as well, but compared with the Pappardelle above, we would still love the Pappardelle in cream sauce. Finger licking good! 

Make a trip here and no regrets! We love it! =)

Here's one good BKT that is always full house whenever we go. We have to wait next to the table for our turn and watch the family have their lunch. Felt so bad by standing there as if I'm shoo-ing them away and get the meat choked in their throat. Lol... no choice, that's the only way to grab a table.

Very easy to go, nearby Bukit Raja Jusco.

28 Weeks Old ~ I'm TEETHING!

This will be the most exciting journal because our sweetie has just stepped into another phase of Growing! We were both so thrilled when we saw a growing pearl!


Date : 11 Apr 2012

How far along : 28 weeks

Weight : 7.5kg

Height : 65cm

Sleep : Recently, she loves to sleep on her side with a bolster, like a big girl already. Is she growing up too fast? Yes... time zooms and she's now already 6.5 mths, entering into 7... wowwww. And now, she DOESN'T love her baby cot! Even if it's a rather big baby cot, she's not satisfied. Cause........ she can't roll while sleeping. She gets frustrated when we put her in the cot and she doesn't has the big space to roll left and right and as she wishes. For the past 2 days, she had been sleeping with us and we got so little space in our king size bed because the sweetie occupied one big space in the middle.

Food : We introduce two new food to her, Bellamy's Organic baby porridge and Cerelac Rice + Soy. Her body works great with Bellamy, no allergy but for the Cerelac, again, there are rashes near the mouth, but only 1 pimple like rash.

So far, she has tasted:
1) Ninolac Rice Cereal 4mths (no allergy)
2) Cerelac Rice Cereal 6mths (allergy)
3) Heinz Apple & Mango puree 4mths (no allergy, she doesn't like it cause sour)
4) Heinz Peas & Zucchini 4mths (no allergy, but she dislike the vege smell)
5) Heinz Farley's Rusks 6mths (no allergy, she loves it. But mommy dislikes it, because too sweet)
6) Home cooked porridge with anchovies + carrot (allergy)
7) Bellamy's Organic Baby porridge (no allergy, she loves it when added some milk)
8) Cerelac Rice + Soy (lil of allergy)


Best moment this week: At 6 mths 11 days, we saw white pearls! The shape is like a mountain and when I touch it with my fingers, it is sharp! Our sweetie is teething...... yeayyyy! We were talking about baby teething the other day and we really couldn't believe it that she's indeed teething. How I discover the pearl? She was crying and cranky the other day and her mouth opened wide, and I saw some white thingy on her gum. I wasn't sure if it was teeth and when she cried even louder, I pulled down her lips and yessss, it's a growing tooth. But it is extremely hard to take a closer look at her baby tooth because she just didn't want to cooperate. I grabbed the camera, wanted so much to capture a picture of her first tooth but it was a tough job. I didn't know for how long the tooth has been there, maybe it has been growing for the past 1-2 weeks. I will try my best to get it captured. =))) And this explains all the crankiness, sudden cry in the middle of night and extreme biting + chewing on toys. Worst was, she bit and pulled when I was BF-ing her.... huge oucchh!

Bellamy's Organic Baby Porridge

It seems a very rare case that baby is allergy to rice. We fed her with plain porridge and her body reacts, she develops rashes near her mouth few hours later. We have yet to check with her PD what is most likely the cause and for the time being, we are looking for baby food other than rice, which is very very very hard to find. And finally, we found one, Bellamy's organic baby porridge made of oat and millet blend. It's very pricey and this packet worth RM17.80 at Cold Storage can only last 1 week. She's our "ang moh" baby and guess she inherited the taste bud from her daddy. Only western food digestible. =D

I fed her with 1 scoop (milk powder scoop) of this porridge yesterday and it works great for her. No allergy. No rashes. Hopefully this works fine for her body so that we can continue this brand and oat/millet prove to have more nutrients compared to rice. We are trying to stop the Heinz Rusks because the biscuits are extremely sweet for a baby at her age. The sweetness is just like our normal Chipsmore/Oreo biscuits. Ain't it too sugary for a baby? I dislike it much, but I have no choice since she does not have allergy towards Rusks. It's made of wheat and I try to find similar food that is made from wheat as well, but again, it's very very hard to find. Most of the baby food are made of rice. 

Hopefully she will outgrow from the "fear of rice" soon and she can have the normal porridge just like us....

She's 27 weeks old!

The cutie pie has now hit the 6 months mark which we were pretty excited about because she can start on her semi-solid food and I get to capture her first facial expressions tasting puree other than milk. I've missed out recording her milestones for few weeks because we had a really really rough weeks before. The sweetie was down with fever and ulcers in the mouth (suspected hfmd) and when she recovered, it was my turn to fall sick with HFMD and this week, the hub got infected with HFMD. So, it's time to get up and command the viruses to die and leave the house!


Date : 4 April 2012

How far along : 27 weeks

Weight : 7.5kg

Height : 65cm

Sleep : Her sleeping pattern is quite established for now. But some of the nights she has some drama and we have to cuddle her, calm her or gave her the pacifier. Other than that, for normal days, she fall asleep on her own after her last feed. =)

Food : We bought Avent steamer + blender and it works really great. Save a lot of time especially when preparing her porridge early in the morning before going to work. And here was her history of starting semi-solid as early as 5.5months.

1. We started off with Cerelac baby rice and she's fine with it, no allergy
2. She was down with fever and ulcers and we stopped semi-solid for the time being and only milk
3. After she recovered, we gave her Cerelac and few hours later, rashes appeared near her mouth. She got allergy to baby rice out of a sudden.
4. The next day, we tried again Cerelac and it was the same outcome. We decided to put on hold Cerelac.
5. 2 days later, we tried Rusks and no symptoms, her body accepts Rusks. No allergy till to date. 
6. At 26+ weeks, we tried anchovies + carrot porridge and her body reacts. She got allergy. 
7. Today, we tried plain porridge and see if her body accepts it with no allergy. Hopefully her digestive system works fine with porridge and I do hope the anchovies was the caused of the allergy. At least she still can consume porridge but with other ingredients.

Best moment this week: She has mastered the skills of rolling and now she can roll from back to front or front to back easily without any help. She can pass object from one hand to another. Her eye hand coordination works great, we moved object from left to right and her hands will reach out to grab those items. She can grab her feet but yet to put the feet into her mouth. Now she's learning how to lift up her whole body and soon she will be learning how to crawl. *hugs*
