Updates on my little princess

Wow.. sarah's already 4 months now. Last mth, on the 2oth, just 2 days before her fourth month bday, she turned on her tummy!!! Am i a proud mama. It happened at night. and during the day her grandparents sent her to the house after babysitting her the whole day. When we're just hanging out in front of the telly, she made attempts to turn, but always only half her body was turned. So her tok bapak said "she's probably waiting for her 4th mth bday to be able to turn." Sekali, malam tu when were still lepaking in front of the telly waiting for daddy to get home from ground school, she turned!! And later she turned again, and again, and again!!! Cute je. Bila penat on tummy, complaint. Heheh..

Now she can turn more easily than before. She starts to make more sounds, especially when feeding. She can also make more then just cooing sounds sometimes (which surprised us) like maaaa.. and naanaaa... and even daaaa... Hehe...

Sigh!~ miss my chubby wubby.

End of this mth, probably kena pergi bangkok for 6 days. Initially dah try nak suruh org lain pergi.. but then we're so understaffed.. so kena la pegi jugak. Nak bawak sarah and daddy, daddy takleh pulak.. belum habis line test. Sigh!~ Lagipun daddy tak kasik sarah naik airplane before she's 1 y.o sbb takut telinga dia sakit sbb tak reti lagi nak equalize. Huhu... sedeynya.. Camne nih.. tak pernah lagi tdo without sarah.. sarah pun tak pernah tak tidur ngn mommy. :(

Grrr...

It's so nerve wrecking when people keep pushing you their idea when you've told them clearly you don't agree to it. Geram tau.

On the 24th last mth, almaz had a bday.. and we went there. They served ice cream.. well.. kids party kan.. and my MIL, FIL and BIL sibuk nak let sarah have a taste of ice cream. I said no.. firm but with a smile la kan.. they are family and i respect that, taknak la rude. They should so respect my decision la.. It is my daughter.

I want sarah to have a good start to healthy eating. Starting off with ice cream won't help with that. Lagipun, ice cream ni, tak payah ajar pun, budak makan jugak. When she gets older, yes she can have some ice cream.. but not now. I want her to savour the healthier meals.. no sugar, no salt. I don't want to sabotage her taste buds so early. lagipun, what's so great about ice cream (other than how good it tastes) that cannot wait??? It's laden with sugar, high in fat, not to mention the additives, colorings, preservatives. Yes, sarah's tummy might not be as sensitive as it was when she was a newborn, but that doesn't mean that we can just sumbat her with everything.

Last weekend, we had lunch at Putrajaya lake Club, again, MIL tried to push the idea of giving a taste of ice cream to sarah. And repeatedly i said no.. dia nak argue pulak, kata ice cream tu bukannya solid food pun.. lagipun it's easily digested.. That's not the question ok..

I know.. it's fun to see sarah's expression upon trying something new.. But sorry.. this is my daughter, not some experimental guinea pig.

Geram tau.. orang ckp tak nak dah la.. drop it. It upsets me so much. What does it take to make them understand?? Do i need to be sharp tounged to be heard?? If i say no, i mean it. Which part of that don't they understand? Bottom line is, i want sarah to start solids with bland foods, nothing sweetened or salted in the hopes tht she won't develop a sweet tooth or 'kuat masin'.. at least not so early, and i really feel that people should respect that. They've done their part with their own children.. Let me dictate how i wanna do things with mine.

*Grr.. still geram thinking of it**
