* 5 Months *
I'm 5 months old today and instead of my usual smiles, i decided to give Mommy my 'kum' look!
Since i drool a lot, i discovered that i
can bite my lower lip to stop the drool from coming out!
Mommy says:
Actually Qile does this 'kumming'
thing when he is very sleepy. I think he is actually forcing himself
to stay awake when he does that! His eyes will get red (you can see a bit of it
in the 3rd pix)
when he starts getting sleepy. This high need baby doesn't know that he can
close his eyes
when he's sleepy. He doesn't know how to 'shut down' or hibernate when he's
tired.
I think he finds everything around him so interesting that he can't bear to miss
out on anything.
Now that i've realised this, i've resorted to covering his eyes with a piece of
light cloth
before rocking him to sleep when i know he is desperately needing to shut down.
It works, coz i am spending less time rocking him to sleep now.
Still need to rock, but not like last time!
On a side note, being a human yao lan
really quite shiok when i realise that i have lost more
weight! YIPPEE!!
i'm still overweight after losing all my pregnancy weight, but i'm eating like a
horse and still losing weight!
How can that be?? No secret to it: just breastfeed (really burns lots of fats!)
and rock!
No need to spend money at slimming centres, just breastfeed your baby!!
My fully breastfed 5-month old is now
7kg (think he lost 0.5kg due to his new-found mobility) and 66cm tall.
