Happy 牛 Year 2009

This CNY is very special to me and hubby cos we have xuan lin with us. Past yr we can slowly schedule to do abit of house cleaning every week. But nw we can't cause hb need to do shift work and only me with xuan lin really a chores to do all by myself. We can only do cleaning when xuan lin is cooperative. Wonder how can we do it if we have #2 and #3?!!!

We will be having early reunion dinner with my family on 24 January at Peony Jade and eating steamboat with hb's family on 25 January. HB will be working 24hrs shift on 3rd day of lunar new yr and me starting work on the 4th day.

Anyway 1st day as usual go to parent place to "pai nei". 2nd day go hb's godparent place for lunch. Xuan lin is very happy, excitied and tiring these few day. Cause she don't get to nap and every nite when we reach home after milk she will go to her la-la land...that is where me and hb got time together :))

My baby Xuan lin is 9mths! So what are her achievements @ 9mths? :)
1. She likes to use finger to point
2. She will say mum mum when she saw us eating
3. She likes to make funny faces
4. She will hold her own milk bottle when she is happy to do it
5. When we ask her where is ur photo and where is "gua yin" she will use her finger to point or turn and look at them
6. When she get hold of something, she refuse to give me and even cheat me and turn away.
7. She loves to eat bread & biscuit
8. She will use her finger to take biscuit and put into her mouth

I have realised that for the past 4 nights she did not wake up for milk and sleep thru out the night till morning 7am. Which is good for us cos we get to have a nite sleep. Hope she can maintain this way...

Have discussed with hb if we should hold a party for xuan lin on her 1st yr bday. Well the outcome is since we did a full mth celebration for her. We decided not to make it big, only intend to go out for buffet with both side family and buy a nice bday cake for her.

End of supply wef 09 Nov 08

After 'working' hard like a cow for nearly 7 months, and has supply partial fm on 14 Sept 08. i decided to stop the supply of breast milk. No choice cos i am very busy @ work + I have to look after my darling at nite so all these makes it tougher for me to perserve on and the mean reason is i can only express less than 50ml every 3hrs interval :-(.

Anyway, now my darling is on Total Formula milk and that also means I need to work hard to earn more $ to buy milk powder! :p I find that bringing formula milk out is convenient than breast milk. But her appetite drop tremedously over the past 2 weeks and only start to pick up this week. Since formula milk need $$ to buy i don't overdose her and feed her every 3 hours or wait until she cry for milk then i give her so that she can finished up the milk! :) Now i need to source out where is the cheapest place in town to buy Enfapro liao! ;) If u got good lobang, tell me!! :D
