It's Take-A-Leap Day

I'm hungry. Not supposed to be, but I am.

Anyhoo.

I think I want to do a recap on these past three-ish months. It's pretty surreal - "three months" used to feel like they whizzed by insignificantly; this past quarter sure felt darn long, especially when I see the bubba grow up day after day.

So today bubba got her first 5-in-1 vaccination which included various immunisations against stuff I cannot remember/pronounce (ok I know there's polio and chicken pox but that's it). She was a brave one! Gave an almighty yell when she got jabbed and that was it. I'm now praying she doesn't get the fever in the next 48hrs. Oh and I had a mini heart attack when I thought I misplaced her health booklet #goodparenting.

Bubba is now going 3mths + 3wks old, weighs in at 6.78kg and measures 61.5cm. Just today she learned how to flip onto her front. Only her waipo saw it though cos I was in the loo. Heard that she couldn't flip back so it was kinda funny trying to imagine her wriggling like a little turtle.

She developed quite a bit during her second month. Started gurgling to everyone at home and complaining (to her waipo in particular) and drank like a milk monster. Smiled a lot and charmed the pants off everyone who's lucky enough to be on the receiving end. In the past couple of weeks she suddenly decided that she hates the bottle, so I literally had to bring her everywhere I went cos there was no way else to feed her. But she's been really cooperative when breastfeeding outside so that's fine.

We all agree that her face has changed quite a bit in the last two weeks and she's since lost the "little baby" look. A wee bit wistful but whatcha gonna do? I just hope she takes her time in growing up heh heh. I love our morning cuddles and god forbid the day she tells me to bugger off cos of morning breath.

I don't know how other mothers do this parenting+working+blogging thing cos I am very, very exhausted now. Gimme some time. I'll get there! Maybe the next entry will be about bubba's birth day if I can get round to it.
