The little things about Baby En

When En En was first born, her cries never failed to make me panic. We did not know why she cried and what we could do to ease her, help her or pacify her. Well, probably she didn't know what she wanted too, hahahaha.

As she grew, she began to show some patterns as she is more stabilised. Today, we are (more or less) able to predict what is coming up and determine the cause when she cries. I guess these are the standards for most babies.

Here are what we noticed:

1. Hungry - cry, wail or whatever. Gets louder and more intense of every minute of delay.

2. Soiled diapers - cry, wail or whatever. Well, her extend of crying is not proportionate to the amount to poo she has. She can scream like no tomorrow even for a 10-cent sized poo. Even her infant care teacher commented on that.

3. Tired - cry. I cannot describe but the sound is different from the above discomfort. When she is real tired, a quick pat or rock will see her snooze to dreamland in no time.

4. Needs company - cry (but not so intense). If she is in her pram, we will push her to where we are and talk to her. Well, sometimes dont even need to talk to her. As long as she knows someone's around and even when we chat with her around, she is pretty satisfied.

En En is now 16 weeks and 6 days. She is showing some signs that she can flipped over to her tummy anytime. She likes to be carried upright now but then your shoulder will be soaked with her saliva after that. And she sleeps comfortably.....
