* 14 months *
Can't really remember exactly when this started, but Emma started from chewing on her fingers/hand when she was teething or something, slowly that seemed to have become a comfortor for her. She started sucking the finger when she's sleepy and then slowly sucking it more and more... when she's being told off, or crying because she can't get what she wants, then she'd suck her finger to calm and comfort herself.
Funny thing is, she only sucks the right hand index finger most of the time.
I was a bit worried about that. I'm okay with her sucking fingers, if she would rotate them. But only 1 finger was making the finger very wrinkly and dry. I worry that the skin may break, but the nurse on the WellChild help line said we can't really do much about it and it's normal for the kids to do that.
A few days ago, we found there was a bit of skin broken on her finger and after comparing both hands, her right hand index finger is definitely looking quite swollan up. We tried using the mittens, we only got a very puzzled look from her staring at her mittens, but within 30 seconds, they were off.
Last night, daddy decided to try putting her in a little wrap that came with mittens on the sleeves. He only wrapped her right hand, thinking she can suck on the left hand fingers as an alternative. But we decided, only the right hand index finger, nothing else! Just kept scratching her chin... and wanting mummy to hold her to sleep. So the end result, everyone was sleep deprived and rather tired. This is on top of her already not sleeping well in the last 2.5 weeks. Only slept through once during this time! So daddy tried to put her to bed tonight by himself, very patiently sitting there with her and wait for her to fall asleep before putting her back to her own cot. At least this way we can both comfort her to sleep while she's still teething.
Really hope she sleeps better soon before we all go crazy!!
========================
也不太記得是什麼時候開始的, 妹妹開始慢慢的, 從因為長牙很癢開始吃手手... 變成想睡覺就把手手當奶嘴吃, 又慢慢的變成常常在吃, 或是被罵啊, 要什麼不給他在哭的時候, 安撫自己就吃手手.
很奇怪的是, 都只要吃右手的食指.
媽媽有點擔心這樣吃不知道手會不會吃壞啊... 這麼常的吃的濕濕的, 那隻手指頭都已經皺皺乾乾的了, 很怕會破皮. 問了健康專線的護士, 說小朋友吃手很正常, 所以也就只能讓他們吃...
前幾天發現他手上真的破了皮... 後來兩隻手比較下發現, 右手的食指很像腫腫的. 我們試著用手套把他包起來, 他先是一臉疑惑的看著他的手, 不過結果也是知道的, 他不用30秒就把手套拿下來了...
昨天晚上爸爸決定, 先用衣服給他包起來吧... 我們有一件衣服袖子上是有手套的, 這樣就拿不下來了... 而且只包右手喔, 這樣還可以吃左手, 不過我們就不吃了... 只是一直抓下巴...不過昨晚倒是幾次就要媽媽抱著他睡才肯睡. 結果大家都睡眠不足. 加上他最近長牙已經吵了兩個多星期了... 爸爸覺得這樣不是辦法, 今晚很有耐性的成功的哄他睡著了...才把他放回床上自己睡.
希望他早點長好牙, 可以乖乖睡覺... 不然爸爸媽媽快不行啦 ^^;;
A few things happened today - 7th tooth, "flower", arm hurting, rabbit, humpty dumpty
Posted by Sally Labels: Emma* 13 months + 3 weeks *
I haven't been posting much lately, there's been many little things I tend to forget later. While I'm not feeling too lazy today, will record a few little things happened today.
This morning, I found a new tooth cut through! The last tooth came out almost 4 months ago! Talk about being slow! This time, it's the top left molar. No wonder she has been waking up a lot the last 4-5 nights!
This morning, when she got up, she still has her PJs on. Then she noticed there's lots of patterns on it and was pointing at them. So we told her, it's 小花 (flower in Chinese), Flower. We repeated a few times, then she started trying to say "flower". (not very good pronounciation but she was trying to copy us)
Oh and while mummy was dressing her, she fell from the couch, which is nothing unusual. That one is quite low and she climbs up and down it easily. Falling over is an daily activity, usually that doesn't bother her at all. So I wasn't paying attention. But then, there was this loud cry! (She usually doesn't cry unless it hurts quite a bit) Then I remember seeing her arm in a funny position as she landed. I think she must have twisted it somehow. We checked and she seems to be ok, but she has been complaining every now and then, and has not been using her left hand much either. Will see how she does tomorrow.
And we saw a rabbit in close encounter for the first time! (Will post later with photos!)
This afternoon, my cousin and wife came over to see my bro (who's here visiting at the moment). Emma brought her book "Five little monkey" over for us to read for her. Then we started talking about kiddie books, nursery rhymes etc. We mentioned humpty dumpty.... etc. Then, here she comes with the book, Humpty Dumpty. I'm not really sure if she knows which book is what or that was just the first other book she picked up by coincident.
What an eventful day!
=======================
最近很少寫部落格啦, 也常常有些事情就這樣忘記了... 趁今天還記得發生了幾樣小事情, 先寫下來吧...
早上發現妹妹多長出了一顆牙! 終於! 上次長牙已經是快4個月前的事情了! 這次是上排左邊的第一顆臼齒呢! 難怪給我吵了幾個晚上睡不好...
妹妹今天早上起床還穿著睡衣, 突然發覺到上面有很多圖案. 我們跟他說, 是小花, flower. 重複了幾次, 他就跟著很不標準的說起了 "flower". 不過我想, 這個比較難吧, 應該不會記得的.
早上在換衣服的時候, 他從沙發上跌了下來. 那張沙發是很低的, 天天爬上爬下的也沒問題. 到處跌倒也是天天發生的事情, 他也沒差. 所以我也沒有特別管他, 不過這次倒是慘叫一聲開始哭起來了! 平時我們是沒有很痛不會哭的. 想起剛剛好像他跌下去, 手的位置好像怪怪的, 可能壓到手了, 扭到了還是怎樣來著... 我們檢查了一下, 又看他也沒有一直哭下去, 應該是沒事. 不過一整天也是有時弄到手會哭, 又不太用左手... 明天在觀察看看吧.
今天還第一次看到小兔子喔, 這個改天寫! 有照片的喔! :)
下午我表弟他們來找我弟, 妹妹拿著 "Five little monkey" 的書來給我們. 我們唸給他聽之後, 在聊幾小朋友的書跟童謠... 說到 humpty dumpty. 說著, 他就跑去把那本書拿了過來. 也不知道他是真的知道哪本書是講什麼的, 還是湊巧拿到的... :)
現在想想 今天還發生了不少事情...
* Thursday, 14th Aug 2008 - 13 months + 1 week *
After we picked her up from the daycare that evening, all of a sudden, she started to make lots of new noises that we haven't heard before. Also started doing "oh-oh" (the sound kids make when they are in trouble). Now, if she drops something, something falls off or she falls over, she would say "oh-oh". Very very cute!! She also mumbles to herself with lots of new noises! It's quite amazing!
那天下課回家, 也不知道怎麼著, 就一直發出很多新的聲音... 還會說 "喔喔" (很像做了什麼壞事情). 現在東西掉了啊, 跌倒了等等就會自己在那裡 "喔喔"! 超可愛的! 還會一直自己喃喃自語的不知道在說什麼, 不過會發的聲音越來越多了!
* 11months + *
Probably from 11 months on, or earlier, depends on what, Emma is getting better and better of making herself understood.
Already know how to indicate she wants you to pick her up, hold her by raising both arms. (Earler, at 7 months, she grabs your hands and put them under her armpit);
10 months, she started pointing at food and say "mum mum"; eventually evolves to having to check what's coming out of the microwave as soon as it starts beeping!
She'd point at the hot water thingy we have (always have boiled water) and say "mum mum" for milky, as you need hot water to make milky!
If she wants to go out, she will drag you to the door and points at the door;
If she wants to see the birds, she say "birds" (or when she spots a bird outside)
If she wants you for something, she will cry for attention or drag you there...
for example, to play with her, read with her, open the lid, close the lid, turn on the music on her toys (as we turn it off when they aren't being used- too noisy) etc
If she doesn't want anything, she shakes her head, pushes your hand away, or whatever you give her away.
If she wants something and you don't give it to her, she starts to cry and protest. She also checks if you are watching or not. If you ignore her, she cries louder.... keep ignoring her, eventually she will go play with something else, or find someone else who won't ignore her. :P
When she's playing, if you are sitting on the floor, she'd make herself very comfortable, wriggle her bums and sits on your legs.
There's probably more...
It's amazing how soon, she's already not a baby anymore, she's a little person with her own personalities!
===================
大概從11個多月起吧, 或是更早就要看什麼了. 妹妹越來越懂的怎樣表達自己要什麼.
很早就會兩手伸起來要抱抱了 (在更早一點 - 7個多月 - 是會來抓我的手, 放在他腋下);
10個月的時候就會指著食物說 "mum mum"; 後來進化到, 只要圍波爐嗶的一聲, 他就要你抱他去檢查看看有什麼好吃的....
會指著熱水壺說 "mum mum" 就是要喝ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, 因為泡ㄋㄟㄋㄟ要熱水.
要出去玩, 出去看鳥就拖著你到門口指著門;
要看鳥就叫 "bird" (或是自己看到窗外的鳥也會叫 bird);
要你來做什麼, 就會發出抗議的叫聲或是把你拖來, 把東西拿給你
像是陪他玩啊, 看書啊, 幫他把蓋子蓋好打開啊, 玩具音樂被切掉的要打開啊... 等等
不要就搖頭把你手推開, 或是你拿給他的東西推開等等.
要什麼不給就"盧", 就開始番起來哭啊叫啊, 還會一邊看你有沒有在看咧. 要是一直都不理他就哭大聲一點, 再不理他就乖乖自己去玩別的. :P 不然就是去吵別人. :P
他小姐還會自己很"酥"的就走過來屁股移好, 就坐在你腿上繼續玩呢!
還有其他想不起來了.. :P
真的是想不到這麼快就已經不像個小貝比了, 已經是個有個性的小人兒了!
* 12+ months*
Emma started saying "ya ya" (duck in Chinese) a bit more. She was able to make that sound before, but now she knows duck and "ya ya" is the yellow rubber duckie.
Grandparents also said she knows how to say "dirty" in Chinese, very very unclear way but that's what she meant. For me, it sounds just like "da da", but she will be pointing at something dirty on the floor at the same time.
Today, it is the first time she said a very perfect "dog", even with the "g" sound at the end. Of course that only happened that once. So I don't know if she is saying that word or just fluke and made a noise that sounded like "dog".
But she's definitely making more and more new noises that I can't understand. It's all good :) I think it'd be fun once she can actually talk.
最近妹妹很常說"鴨鴨", 以前就會發這個音, 不過最近知道說, duck, 跟鴨鴨都是那黃色的小鴨子.
阿公阿媽說, 他還會說很不標準的 "髒髒", 我聽起來跟 "da da" 很像啊... 可是他會在地上指著髒髒的東西說... 所以有時侯我也搞不清楚他在說 da da 還是髒髒.
今天第一次很標準的說 "dog", 連後面的 "g" 都發出來了. 不過就那麼一次而已 ^^''' 所以也不知道是真的會還是誤打誤撞來著的.
不過是真的會發出越來越多種聲音了... 雖然聽不懂不過表示有慢慢在變化囉. 等他會講話一定很很玩囉! :)
