Last year at noon, AL arrived on Sunday 20 July 2008. It was fast that even PaPa didn’t have the chance to see her arrival.
Today she is one year old. How time flies… She is about 10kg now.
BreastmilkUp to 1 year old, she is 100% breastmilk with no formula. Soon, Mummy will be introducing some formula because as from 01July09, Mummy has stopped evening pumping session. Soon, Mummy will plan to stop the noon pumping and will just continue night direct feeding. In between nights, Mummy will need to train her to take bottle because Mummy will be having training in August09 which will last till midnight due to assignment. From the past experience, AL will reject all the bottles at night and will rather go hunger waiting for Mummy, till PaPa will have to keep feeding her bits of pieces of bread and biscuits till Mummy come back.
In the freezer, there is about almost 400 oz of breastmilk. The amount has dropped since Mummy reduces the pumping from 3x to 2x and recently to 1x.
Solid Intake
Her solid intake is still in good sampling mode. However, she loves chunky and big pieces food (in Hokkein, people said so ‘chor lor’ @ so unlady like). She will take big pieces 2-3 mouths then stop. Then she will open her mouth for other type of food.
MobilityShe crawls and cruises a lot. She climbs up and down. We train her to come down with her legs instead of her head. She can stand without support for a few seconds – enough to shake and clap her hands. She loves to explore and create a mess till JL KorKor has to clean up. She will go to KorKor’s room and take all the books out from the shelves. After completing the mission, she will then go to the kitchen playset and start to clear all the kitchen utensils off from the storage and shelves. Then, she will move to her next target, the toy cupboard, leaving everyone to clear the mess.
Speech
She understands simple instruction, for example, ‘Don’t go into that room, and come to Mummy’. Her first word is PaPa. Now she is learning to call Mummy in short form which is ‘Me’.
Character
She has a strong and determined character. She is fiercer than JL. She can scream and show tantrum which at times really can irritate us. What we do? We give her warning and leave her. Then she will continue and later keep quiet. It is not easy though because she is a very strong willed person.
No matter what…everyone still adores her especially her KorKor who is very patient with his MeiMei even though at time he feels impatient and gets irritate.

Happy Belated Birthday to Ariel girl:) Jeriel is indeed a good kor kor and he is very much like Brandon and Brandee is just like Ariel (fierce and loud). Is it bcos Jeriel and Brandon's age is just a week apart, that's why they are so similar:)I can still remember visiting you when you've just deliver Jeriel:)
Kor kor has a lot of great stuff for mei mei to explore. :)
Happy Belated 1st Birthday to Ariel. How time flies...I still remembered you telling me you were about to deliver. LOL.
Hmm.... why always second baby fiercer? My boy has almost the same character and mobility as Ariel... he is already standing for 30 seconds when he forgot while watching TV... I do hope he can take chuncky pieces of food BUT no even a single teeth lerrr...
