My five-month old baby is doing pilates, too!

I was feeding my baby in our bed (we were lying on the bed, of course, her head was elevated) when all of a sudden, I thought of doing some pilates moves with my legs.

I stretched my legs, made some circles in a backward-forward motion, and then, pulled my legs together in the air. I noticed that my baby’s legs were also moving, that is, she was also stretching her legs, first her right leg, followed by her left leg. Isn’t that cute?

I now have a pilates-buddy! Perfect! Loving it…Cheers to my baby!

My five-month old baby knows how to remove and put back the cover of her feeding bottle

Wow. Such a longish title of this post.

It’s true. I have witnessed her on how she removes the cover of her feeding bottle for many times, and she’d really drink her milk when the bottle is given to her. This time, her daddy saw that after the cover was removed all by herself, she also knew how to put it back!

Amazing, isn’t it?

Not only that, she also knows how to close and open the “monitor” of her interactive laptop, and, yay, tap the keyboard, too!

Yay!

Change of milk from S26 to Similac Advance

It’s been two days since we changed baby’s milk from S26 Gold 1 to Similac Advance. Yay! And how hubby and I were satisfied. We were thinking “how come we waited for almost six months before we changed baby’s milk?” Anyway, there’s still time to improve. Thanks God.

I remembered we had been experimenting on the formula milk of baby since she was three months. We bought Similac Advance, but, we didn’t push through with it because in my research, S26 is at par. One time, while we were at the embassy, someone told us, a grandma of a newborn, that her grandson is drinking Similac. We didn’t heed her because we thought that our baby was just doing fine. However, months passed and it seemed that baby’s tongue was already too familiar with the taste or maybe S26 doesn’t match her taste bud already that she began not to drink it (oftentimes she would just consume 5ml!) Whew.

Last Saturday, a friend told me that she saw babies at the church who were of the same months with baby, but they are bigger. She told me that those babies were drinking Gain. We immediately went to the market here and brought the milk. However, when we reached home, I noticed that it’s not Gain or I’m not just familiar with it. It’s Similac Advance. On her 6th month, we’d buy the Similac Gain Advance.

I was very surprised this morning when tiny little fingers touched my arms – my baby was trying to wake me up! I was a sleepyhead! LOL. She must be very hungry then although she wasn’t crying. She was trying to wake her daddy, too, but he was too sleepy. Maybe an hour before she woke me up, she was crawling in our bed. I made it sure that she wouldn’t crawl too far from where we were sleeping (our bed is still high; I’m afraid that she might fall-knock on wood – comes October we’d just retain the mattress) by enveloping her with our legs. She moved back and forth in the little space we gave her…until she could not control it anymore. She woke me up. Wow. I love you, baby. So sorry for my shortcomings.

My five-month old baby knows how to ask for milk without crying!

And so her daddy and I witnessed it at one o’clock in the morning.

She rolled over and touched her feeding bottle, which was on the left corner of the bed. As she was touching it, she was saying something, sort of, “a-ah” to her daddy. That would probably mean, “daddy, please give me my milk!” I told her daddy to give her the feeding bottle. She licked the outside of the bottle with her tongue. She must be very hungry. I told her daddy to let her lie on the bed, and give her the milk. She abruptly sipped the nipple of her feeding bottle. Whoala! She now knows how to ask for her milk without crying!

Amazing, isn’t it? I just am so thankful everyday to God for giving us a very gifted baby.

We just went to the clinic for baby’s monthly checkup. Thank God, she gained weight and increased her height. I was overly worried the past three weeks because she wasn’t drinking her milk well. Thanks God for Green Barley!

Update:

When she woke up at 10a.m. this morning, she did it again. She rolled over, touched her milk. But the most surprising thing she did was to touch the arm of her daddy with her right hand, while her left hand was touching the feeding bottle. She was telling her daddy to give her the milk. Whoala!
