A loooong stretch of sleep last night!!

By -
* Monday, 18th Feb - 7 months + 2 weeks *

Last 4 days we've been trying to 9-ish top up (basically a top up feed when she wakes after going to bed or before we go to bed). That (with 1 feed around 4-5 and another one around 6:30ish) successfully eliminated the nightfeeds. She lasts till after 7am for the next feed!

(Of course we were like, why didn't we think of this earlier?!!!)

Anyways, last night we put her down around 7:15pm for the night; then she woke just before 9:30pm for another feed.

I went to bed around 10pm...

What do you know, I woke once in between for the bathroom, but I did not hear from her until 4:15am!! That's a gap over 6.5 hours!!
Boy! I should have got up around that time... but I went back to bed and only got up around 6:30am...

The little madam.... woke up just before 7am.

Wow!

Now, I can get use to the 6.5 hour gap for sure!!
Tonight, I will try to go to bed after her "top up" feed!

Fingers crossed... hopefully we are closer to her sleeping through the night than I thought we would be?

Well, can't blame me for being hopeful, right? :P

Well, most people say that she looks more like dad; some say mum... so I put our photos onto a website for a test... Result #1 - 50/50 Result # 2 - 16% more like dad... Then I remembered that she looks more like me when I was a baby... so.. I put in my baby photo.. Result # 3 - 3% more like mum... (hmm...) Oh well :P Here we have it :P Sally

First day at Daycare

By -
Today is the first day Emma starts daycare. She will be in daycare on Tuesday and Thursdays from now. I also have the person from property management company coming over to take photos of our house for renting at 2pm. So, I was busy cleaning and tidying up the house while she's at daycare. After I got everything done and just got out of the shower, I got a call from the daycare. At first I thought, oh no... but then, they only called to let me know that Emma is okay... just in case I'm wondering but feel bad to call. So apparently she had her bottle shortly after daddy dropped her off. Then went to sleep for 2.5 hours... Had another 200ml and was playing on the floor when they called me around 12:45. She told me that Emma is a really easy baby, so far. Sounds very good! I think she behaves better there!! At home, sometimes she won't go to sleep... gets too happy... Hmm... :P At least we know she's okay in daycare... and mum is okay today, very busy actually! :P Sally

Woo finally rolling over caught on video!

By -
This morning when I was getting Emma out of the bed for her 2nd feed, I couldn't find the camera's memory card. Oh well, so I put her down for tummy time anyway and thinking, I bet she's gonna roll over this time and we'd miss it on video again! Yep! Damn! Later I found the memory card and put her on video again... but it only has 7 mins left! Bummer... I thought she might roll over just as the camera is running out of memory... no no, she didn't. Very close so many times though! But now I know what the secret is for her rolling over... She'd have one arm straight and pushing hard, the other tucked in... and she always likes to wiggle to a certain direction very hard... and babies have heavier heads :P So... she just keeps pulling towards one direction and... way she goes... rolls over. Finally... in the afternoon, when I was playing with her on tummy time again... video on... after so many close ones... she finally rolls over and caught on camera! Yah! (These p...
