帶Hannah去跟小朋友玩; Took Hannah to Play Group

帶小胖丫頭去Play Group 玩;

發現小胖丫頭其實挺愛惜生命的。

她一看兩三歲的小哥哥姐姐們玩起來跳上跳下,行動迅速,就怕怕;

十幾個小朋友,小鬼頭就相中一個比她小一個月,乖乖躺著不會撞她的Charlotte 妹妹。

可是人家還是社交生手,有好感也不知道怎麽表示。。。

只見Hannah爬到旁邊看看妹妹,看看媽媽,看看妹妹,再看看旁邊的大人。。。這朋友要怎麽交呢?

表演洗手給人家看吧。。。我媽媽、阿媽、姨婆是每次看我洗手都反應熱烈耶。我會的招式也沒有很多,妹妹你就賞光一下吧。


Took Hannah to play group for the first time.

The kid was clearly fearful of the rambunctious two and three year olds in the group.

After scouting out the environment, she set her eyes on the gentle 5 month old Baby Charlotte (Hey, if she can't run me over, we can be friends!)

Hannah was clearly interested in Charlotte but was not sure what she should do to catch her attention.

She ended up performing her new trick (hand washing) for Charlotte ...

Well, let's just say the trick gets a much stronger response from Mommy, Grandma and Grand Aunty. ^_^

正式吃副食品 Officialy Commencing on Baby Food



媽媽一直沒有時間弄小傢伙的副食品,上個禮拜抓緊新店阿媽和姨婆帶小丫頭的時間,趕快弄。

看在小丫頭上個月陸陸續續什麽都吃一點也沒什麽過敏跡象,咱們就不一樣樣慢慢試了,媽媽一樣樣食物慢慢分開做副食品會花轟的。

何況總要多吃幾樣東西才會營養均衡呀(哈哈哈,媽媽很會找借口。)

有鑒于朋友曾經辛苦做了大鍋菜副食品一大鍋被寶寶退貨(據説是青菜水果肉全部打一塊。。。欺負小孩沒吃過真正食物,以爲他不懂什麽是好吃,哈哈;老實說沒有朋友的經驗作參考,媽媽也可能干這种事)

既然有前車之鑒,咱們第一次就走安全路綫好了:
1。只混甜的或沒味道的東西(甜的總行了吧,哪有小孩不吃甜的)。
2。只混冷凍之後再解凍也不會很噁心的東西(上網一查,有的蔬菜水果就不行,根莖類的大部分可以,那第一次就根莖類好了)。

菜市場廚房溜一圈,綜合根莖類甜甜大雜燴副食品就出爐了。

小丫頭吃起副食品,對用湯匙吃東西這件事比食物更感興趣。

才開始喂兩口,就搶著自己拿湯匙。

不給她拿,她會生氣的大叫抗議。

一開始,她還願意和媽媽一起拿湯匙(第一段影片),後來就要自己拿湯匙(照片和第二段影片)。

一邊吃一邊玩不說,還會把媽媽喂進嘴巴裏的食物挖出來看是什麽東西,喫相一片災難,完全看不出是有用餐具在進餐的(跟之前用手吃南瓜差不多)。

哈哈哈,人類文明發展起來不容易啊!

Hannah started eating her first baby food (a mix of various root vegetables - since Hannah showed no signs of allergies on her previous mini food adventures, lazy mommy gave up on the idea of letting her try one food at a time).

She is more interested in spoon feeding herself than the food itself.

At first, she'd let mommy hold the spoon with her (see video 1) but, later, insisted on holding the spoon herself (see pictures above and video 2).

Her table manners are a disaster though - she plays with her food and would even dig out the food in her mouth to study it.

Judging from the mess she made (vs. the mess when she just used her hand), you wouldn't be able to tell that she had used an utensil.

Civilization does take time ...

補記小丫頭6個月 Hannah Turned 6 Months Old (2 weeks ago)

小丫頭兩個禮拜前滿6個月了,媽媽被纏的部落格都來不及更新了。


快要滿六個月時,9/27外婆生日那天,小丫頭冒出第一顆牙,在下面右邊。
上個禮拜又開始看到下面左邊的牙齒也快冒出來了。


她現在非常非常好動,無時無刻都在動,而且是旁人看了都累的高耗能動作。


起床沒有兩個小時,她就動到汗如雨下,全身濕透。想要她不聞起來酸臭,常常一天得洗個兩次甚至三次澡。


丫頭可以明確的連爬帶伏突前進的把自己弄到房間的各個角落,可以從趴到坐,從坐到趴,兩隻小魔爪不放過任何他能夠碰得到的東西。


也許是運動量太大了,明明還是無敵愛吃,可是這個月體重竟然沒有增加,有時候量還比上個月少100克。小丫頭從出生3.3公斤,到四個月變成差不多8公斤,現在都六個半月了,昨天竟然才8.2公斤,也太會靠運動維持身材了吧。


最後,丫頭會叫爸爸了,只不過什麽東西都被她叫成爸爸,沒事就爸爸爸爸,很好笑。爸爸不能這樣滿街亂認的啦。


Hannah turned 6 months old two weeks ago. Mom is so over-occupied that she barely had time to update this blog.


Some major developments this month:


1.She sprouted her first tooth (lower right, 9/27/11), and the second one (lower left) popped its head last week.


2. She is now a super active baby - capable of moving herself (crawling + creeping) to anywhere she really wants to go in a room. She'd lay her hands on anything she is able to reach - a very curious little one.


3. Perhaps due to the hyperactivity - no weight gain this month - and depends on when you weight her during the day, sometimes we even see a sight weight loss. They are not joking when they say exercise helps maintain one's figure.


4. She can say "Baba" now - mandarin for Daddy. But Daddy is a bit dissatisfied because she basically calls anything Baba. Mommy insists that this is proof that Mama is more of a special word!  :P

超級愛看電視 Really Addicted to TV

丫頭小小年紀就知道愛看電視

現在看起電視來,更是樂不可支,拍案叫絕,恨不得能夠爬到電視裏去。

爸爸作爲眼科醫師,曾經煞有介事的立志絕對不給丫頭看電視。

結果他第一次帶小丫頭兩個小時,領教小丫頭“無時無刻需要新娛樂”的無窮精力。。。就完全敗下陣來。

記得那次媽媽經過客廳,才從電視前走過,就聽到爸爸叫:

“喂喂喂,你千萬不要擋住她的視線,她看不到電視可是會叫的啊。”

囘頭一看,啊呀呀!真的是徹底敗給丫頭啦。。。

小丫頭被爸爸像董事長一樣兩邊用枕頭固定在沙發上,正對著電視。

惟恐她看不到啊。。。

近視,以後再煩惱啦。。。

哈哈哈。。。笑死媽媽了!

不過在精力允許的範圍,我們還是努力不讓丫頭看電視。

影片中看的是教幼兒手語的DVD。

爸爸媽媽實在沒精力自己教她嬰兒手語,就想能不能就放放DVD交代過去。。。

也許是才開始放看不出效果,反正就以下的影片看來,不管DVD裏面是教的是什麽,小丫頭比出來都是雙手亂揮加傻笑。

也好,笑是世界通用的語言 。。。手語也能通吧。

Our little imp has been addicted to TV since very early on.

She now really expresses her enjoyment when watching her DVDs.

She'll laugh, scream, flap her arms and even topple over to express her delight.

As an ophthalmologist, Daddy was once determined to not let Hannah watch any TV.

But that quickly changed after he had the chance to babysit the kid for 2 hours and experience for himself how difficult it is to keep the girl entertained CONSTANTLY.

Mommy and Daddy still make an effort to limit Hannah's TV time but relented on letting her watch Baby Sign Language DVDs (we really couldn't muster the energy to teach her ourselves).

The video below seems to indicate that, after watching the DVD for the 3rd time, our baby now thinks the sign for everything is either flapping her arms or laugh.

Good luck trying to understand her, Mom and Dad.
