1 year old update

I went in for my 1 year old jabs yesterday and found out that I was only 8.4kgs (Mummy swears that I should be heavier as her back, arms and neck always ache when she carries me). As for height, we haven’t got any clue as my Doctor didn’t take my measurement again.

I only made a slight whimper when I was jabbed at my butt-butt. Actually, I didn’t even know what hit me as I was having my nen-nen then. This is my Doctor’s trick, making me drink of mummy while she do her thing.

I’m still drinking breast milk 90% of the time. I started formula when I was 10 months old as mummy was ill then and although she had enough stock of her milk in the freezer, she wanted to start me on formula to see if I was alright with it. I love it but I only had it like once a day during weekdays at the daycare. Only recently it was increased to twice a day during the weekdays. I still get direct access to her milk at nights, through the nights when I wake up, mornings and throughout the weekends.

As for solids, I take 2 times porridge at the daycare with snacks (fruits, biscuits or bread) in between while weekends, I’ll have baby cereal for breakfast, porridge for lunch and dinner with snacks in between. I have yet to try meat other than fish meat and I will get chicken in my porridge soon.

I have 6 teeth now, 4 upper front and 2 bottom front. I still look like a boy though with my baldy front of my head. And lately, I’ll ask (in my baby jabber) for mummy to tie my hair. This is usually when she ties my cher-cher’s hair – I want to join in the fun too. I will sit quietly for mummy while she ties whatever she can with my little hair. :D (little rye li in the making).

As for speech, I seem to get whatever I want even though it’s all baby’s babbling. It helps since I can nod my head ‘yes’ to indicate what I want when people talk to me. Even my cher-cher can give me what I want with my nodding, well most of the time since she’ll snatch them back when she sees me having fun with it.

I seem to do things that my sister didn’t have any records for in her lifetime :-

a) I actually broke an Avent bottle – we always dropped our bottles and I’m not sure why one of mine actually broke. Perhaps they don’t make them as durable as before?!

b) I broke one of mummy’s shot glasses! Mummy collects them from all over the world and they are kept below our dining table, even way before my cher-cher was born. Now, I can access them and I’m always told off for not touching them. But I wasn’t lucky yesterday when one of them actually fell off. I wasn’t told off about it but now the rest of the shot glasses are all kept hidden away.

c) I actually spoilt some of the balls that we have at home. All belongs to my cher-cher and she wasn’t too happy about it. I bit them off and made a hole in them so there is no way papa can fix them. One of the balls is made of sponge and I actually ate the bits that came off. Now, they are off-limits to me. When you come to my house, I’ll show you my teeth marks on these sponge balls. :D

8.4kg at 1yo is still very ok. Baby C only weights 9kg at 18 mths! As long as she's healthy, that's all that matters, right? After all, looking petite is better than obese right?

No worries, dear! For all you know, Ryeli and Hayeli will shoot up later in life - I was tall as a kid and look where THAT got me? LOL
