My baby is 4 months old today!
Compared to when she was newly born, she has changed so much! Her hair is longer, she's much chubbier and feels more sturdy. She now smiles and 'talks'. Her latest trick is removing her pacy on her own though she is still trying to figure out how to put it back into her mouth. She's close though, a few more days and i think she'll figure it out.
She has also learnt to flip, flipping from her front to her back. The first time she did it, she repeatedly flipped when put on her tummy. Subsequent tummy time saw her more interest in sucking on her fist than flipping. She'll even drop her mouth to her fist!

Funny Baby
Baby C likes loud noises.
As i was changing her last night, she was fussing and crying. DaddyHam came into the room and started scolding her in a stern and loud voice.
And how does she respond? She laughs! She must have thought that by being loud, Daddy was playing with her.
DaddyHam and i couldn't continue being angry and also broke out in laughter.

Reality
Back to reality, back to work.
Today was my first day back at work after being a SAHM for the past 4 months. I enjoyed the past 4 months tremendously, and even toyed with the idea of being a full time mother.
I savour the quiet moments when it was just Baby and I the entire day. I look forward to greeting her first thing when she opens her eyes with a Good Morning song. I stand at her crib for long moments just staring at her sleeping soundly and deeply. We spend time just lying on the bed, her lying on me, me staring at her and singing to her. We also spend time together watering the plants, pointing out new shoots and flowers to her.
Such were the happy memories of being with her 24/7 and i will always treasure these memories.

Outing #3 Marina Barrage
We brought her to the Marina Barrage yesterday. The weather was great! Breezy and sunny. Lots of people were there, flying kites, having a picnic or like us, just enjoying the space.
The trip coincided with her SHIT SHIT day. (Every third day is thus named coz she shits once in 3 days.) DaddyHam and I were very paranoid, checking her diaper every few minutes. There were also a few false alarms but when it finally happened, it was right in the middle of the lawn, right in front of people flying their kites and people having their picnics.
She was a good girl throughout the trip. She slept for a while, and when awake, she just quietly looked around, curious at her new surroundings and noises.
it was such great fun bringing her out and i so look forward to doing more of such in future.

Tantrums
My baby throws tantrums at the tender age of 3 months!
She does it mostly when she's in the mood to play/ move and we ignore her. She loves to be carried and is most curious about her surroundings, especially bright lights.
Here's pictures of the beginning of a crying tantrum.

Outing No. 2
As it was our last night at the flat, we decided to enjoy the shopping centre right at our doorstep for the last time.
In preparation for our trip, I tried carrying Hamie in her baby carrier facing outwards thinking that she might enjoy looking at her surroundings. And i was most pleasantly surprised when she started laughing loudly and was waving and kicking her arms and legs. I've never heard her laugh so happily before :)
DaddyHam carried her on our trip to starbucks and she was well-behaved, looking curiously around her all the time. She only started fussing when DaddyHam sat down and so poor DaddyHam had to quickly finish his coffee.
And our little darling fell asleep as we were making our way home, snuggled comfortably against her daddy.

Flip
My little bub can flip on her own!
We brought her to the doc today for her vaccination and the doctor was running through a series of tests and checks on her. One of the tests involved putting Hamie on her tummy to test the muscle tone of her neck. As we were talking, she flipped onto her back by herself!
Ha, can't wait to let her try doing that trick again tomorrow.
And as predicted by her granny's good friend, the little Ham has been certified CHUBBY. She's on the 90% percentile in terms of weight! Simply love squeezing her michelin-like arms and legs. She even has fat lines on her upper arms!
