If there’s one thing I’m learning about Hannah, it’s to expect abrupt transitions as she grows up! She’s now all of 5 months 4 weeks, and at the end of this coming weekend will be exactly six months old.
Since the last week, the two of us and even Lentor grandparents have noticed significant changes. As mum puts it, Hannah’s starting to ‘recognize’ faces, and with that she’s also started fussing about who gets to carry or burp her. E.g. she used to be alright having me burp her after a feed, but since the last week she protests loudly when I try to do the same. And for the first time since Hannah’s birth, mum had difficulty feeding Hannah even when we dropped her off at Lentor yesterday morning.
This morning at service she all but remained still too, alternating between fussing and grumbling – so much so that Ling had to bring her to the cry room lest she made a louder din than all the other babies and children that was sitting at the last few rows of the Sanctuary. Two iphone photos here: one just before the service started, and another when we were settling back into the car parked at Fort Canning Park.
Thankfully, she about completely knocked out when we swung by Hougang Mall’s Subway restaurant for brunch after service. Probably from all her vocal exertions.:)
btw your amadeus DVD is still w me. you lent it to grace right? she passed it to me before she left.
Oh yah that’s right. Hold onto it? We’ll pick it up sometime.:)
