Nursing the Baby

I was nursing Jeremiah while surfing the web this afternoon and Sofia came into the room looking for me.

Me : Hi Sofia, woke up from your nap already?
Sofia : ...... Didi nursing mummy's milk..
Me : Yes, didi is hungry so he needs to drink milk.
Sofia lifted up her shirt and said,"Didi nurse fia's milk."
Me : HUH??

I was caught off guard by Sofia's offer but it was so sweet of her to offer to "feed" Jeremiah. It really warm my heart for the day.

Statistics

We brought the duo to the PD today for vaccination.

Sofia weighs 13.5kg now, at 29 months while Jeremiah weighs 4.4kg at 5 weeks old. One is still a breeze to carry while carrying the other is a back breaking task now.

End of Confinement

My confinement ends today, 2 days earlier because my mum needs to go back to give my dad a hand after his op tomorrow.

Well, one of my favourite confinement dish/soup is the red dates soup most mummies are familiar with. It is cooked with red dates and couple more herbs and it taste very sweet without sugar added. I believe it is packed with tons of vitamins and iron. Most importantly of all, it is filled with lots of love from my mum who dutifully prepares the soup every night.

My mum has been a great help eversince the little rascal arrived and gave us both many sleepless nights. There were nights where my mum changed the baby's soiled diaper without my knowledge! I guess I just knocked out completely.

I am really one of the lucky ones who has a great and capable mum to help out during such difficult times.

Mummy buys ...

Sofia seems to think her mum is capable of buying everything in this world, here are some examples:

Sofia : Mummy go supermarket buy juice for fia (Sofia).
Mummy : Ok, I will get some juice for you the next time we go to the supermarket.
Sofia : Mummy buy grape juice for fia.
Mummy : Sure, no problem.

**********************************************************

We were admiring the full moon from Sofia's bed one night.
Sofia : Mummy buy moon for fia.
Mummy : ...
Sofia : Mummy buy moon for fia!
Mummy : Erhm, ok, I will try but I do not think I can.

**********************************************************

Sofia has a Barney DVD where part of the program shows a girl riding on a pony. One fine day after watching the DVD,

Sofia : Mummy buy horse for fia, fia climb horse and sit.
Mummy : Sofia wants to ride on a horse too?
Sofia nods her head profusely.
Mummy : Sofia, Mummy has no place to keep the horse, next time when we visit the zoo, I will get you a horse ride, ok?
Sofia : Ok.

I think Sofia wants to ride a horse real badly. There have been occasions where Fefe is crouching on the floor and Sofia crossed her leg over Fefe's body, pulled her ears back and started bouncing on the poor cat like a horse. Of course you will then see a terrified cat scurrying around the house looking for a place to hide. It is very funny to watch them but I hope Sofia will quickly come to the idea of loving her pets in the correct manner soon.

The Pacifier Queen

Hi Everyone, I am the Pacifier Queen. Erhm ... actually this is my brother's pacifier, but since he does not like it, I am enjoying it on his behalf.

I can tell you, it tastes really NICE. I could not understand how come I prefer my thumb over the pacifier ... I should have chose the pacifier!

Give me 3 pacifiers anytime and I will enjoy them all!

This is the coolie pose ...

But I think I look best in this one - the girlie pose!
