14 months

Hehehee... playing peek-a-boo with Mummy

I'm watching you... must behave ok?

And she's 14 months!  Jo Ern is looking more like a little girl, less like a baby.  I do miss the cute baby year, but she's definitely easier to take care of now.  Comparing little Jo Ern and baby Jo Ern:

Less attention-hungry
She is mobile and doesn't cry to be carried so often.  Of course she does need to be monitored like a hawk.  Or else she'd be very happy tearing up tissue, playing with the phone/ipad, turning the knobs on the DVD player etc. 

Less AM feeds
She wakes up only once in the night for milk vs 2-3 times.  This one time ranges from 4.30am to 7am.  The latter is already my wake-up time and not considered middle of the night. 

Solids vs Milk
Definitely easier now compared to when she was fully on breastmilk.  Hoo hoo I was super stressed as I don't have much.  I devoted a whole weekend once to resting and pumping, getting 5-10ml each time, and was pleased with the resulting ONE extra milk portion of 100ml.  Then I discovered my brother's new maid had taken TWO of my milk portions to feed baby Jensen instead.  What's more, I had already counted in these two portions so Jo Ern didn't have enough that day.  I was so upset I could have cried... only I was too angry. 

And of course she is bigger and not so fragile!  And therefore can wear pretty dresses.  Hehe.

  1. huh? when was the incident that the maid gave jensen the milk? i'll be angry too. sigh.. sometimes maids tend to do things themselves and not ask. or they get confuse and not ask. give up with them sometimes. sometimes i do get worried that my maid accidently give jensen, justin's milk or elyssa's milk, then jensen will get into trouble. worried... worried...

  2. Cat, this is actually old story. :) Just wanted to pen it down somewhere. It was before solids so before 6 months. I was fuming then but figured no point scolding Saren as she barely understood English.

    Yeah there's a risk for Jensen with the various types of milk powder in the house. Some more the maids' jobs are not specialised - anyone free will be tasked to feed him. Maybe put his formula in a brightly coloured container?

  3. His milk is in it's own tin. Guess not so easy to get mix up. **fingers cross**
