I have teeth and I can commando crawl!!!

My dear sweet little girl Lauren has been growing at super speed and her lazy mummy has not been quick enough to document all her progress!!


So today, when Gong Gong reported that she started her commando crawling/ creeping at around 2.30pm, i said i MUST blog this before i forget!! She is 6 months and 15 days old already!! Before we know it...she'll be sprinting around like her korkor! She's still lightweight though... weighing only 6.5kg and 64cm tall. Lucas was 6.5kg at 3 mths and ard 9kg at 6 mths!! How did we use to carry him???! haha


Since the previous post, my darling girly has grown 2 tiny teeth on her lower jaw. Those sharp little biters first popped out through her tiny little baby gums on 9 July 2009, just 3 days after she turned 6 months old! :) Now she chews EVERYTHING... and seems to particularly like chewing paper... hmmm. hehe :) Her upper jaw is also very swollen already so methinks her two front teeth will make an appearance soon as well!

She had her first taste of sweet potato today as well. Before this, she'd already tried rice cereal, pears, apples and banana. Popo thinks Lauren might be like Sam Yi Po and totally give up milk very soon and only eat solids. Nooooo!!!!

She also, of course, favours her korkor's toys over her own. Lucas (of course!) protests and protects his property (sometimes including mama!!) by saying "NO! mei mei!" accompanied by any of the following:
1) snatching back the toy in question
2) shoving her hand away
3) shoving her face/ body/ head and saying "NO meimei! Don't touch!"


Can be quite cute but also scary cos he has no regard for her safety. We do try to tell/ remind him regularly that he must share... cos meimei is a baby. I asked him before:
Mama: Is meimei a baby?
Lucas: Yes
Mama: Ya, meimei is a small baby. How about Lucas? Is Lucas a baby?
Lucas: Yes... Lucas BIIIIIIG baby!
Mama: ...... (not the response i was looking for!)

To-date, Lucas has rolled over onto her while sleeping once, and also kinda kicked her in the face once (also while sleeping lah) even though we put many pillows and bolsters between them. These days we have been getting him to sayang her and patpat her and hug and kiss her (in exchange for cheers and praise!) and he has so far been willing to "perform" :P I love it when they get along...let's hope it just gets better and better. Or at least until Lauren is old enough to defend herself!

From the glint in her eyes when she looks at her brother the past few weeks/ months, we think she's gonna take revenge and terrorize her brother when she's bigger :) She seems to love looking at him all the time... probably cos he's always on the move and always noisy with his singing and dancing!! She particularly loves looking at him when he's sleeping!!! She will yelp and squeal in delight when she looks at him sleeping.... she once yanked his hair while he was asleep and woke him up! Poor boy!!

She has also started babbling in the past few weeks!Lauren can say:
1) mamamama
2) bababa
3) *scream scream squeal squeal!!!* etc etc etc...haha

She also knows how to whine for attention and can spin around on her tummy to face the person nearest her for him/ her to carry her. Totally adorable and so clever!! :)

Nway OK, guess that's enough updating for now. Trying to squeeze everything into this one post but it's so hard!!! hahaa

Will go add some pictures now! :)
