my growing lil' princess

This week's challenge for mummy; I'm stretching her sleep with decrease in breastfeeding. I used 2 wks to realise that she's been taking me as a pacifier. Her sleep pattern is short and disturbed so I intervened this 2 days. I refused to feed her in the night so she won't wake up 4-6 times (1 hrs intervals). It's like making Thad quit pacifier. So suddenly she's sleeping much better and longer. Well, a right guess this time.


As a mum, I love making a right guess the 1st time.
When it's quitting a habit, I think it takes 2 days to break the cycle. But these 2-3 days, life is tough. You have to be prepared to lose sleep totally. Quoting Amelia "kids are about the moment"; once they're over it, they are over it...

My little girl is turning one in 2 weeks' time.

Gosh! I think my clock works on double time. How did the year shewish by?


She was the easiest baby from 3 months on, prior to that she has colic (i've never admit it, bcos I'm superstitious. Bah hahaha). Then came the 4th month, she sleeps well and a lot. Even when brother Thaddeus is all whiney and screaming... She's heavenly.

And she slowly became attached to me. Then I started staying home full time with her. I dunno how it happened within a month, she demanded for my presence all the time. So i've never been apart from her for more than 2 hrs since. I sometimes feel a lot is lost with her stickyness; but I do hope her stickyness goes and return in her teenage yrs. (fat hope!)


Then comes teething... She bites a lot and very much. I was constantly in bruises.
