I'm Getting the Hang of It

Finally after one month as a mum-in-training, I now feel like I've got the hang of taking care of Joey. Of course there were still times I don't know why she's fidgeting and crying about, but generally everything seems under control. At the beginning, there were times I felt so sad because Joey will fidget and be uncomfortable when I'm feeding her, but when her grandma or daddy feeds her, she'll be very obedient and finish up all her milk. I even wonder if she dislikes being carried by me. I guess it could be because of my bony hands which makes her uncomfortable sometimes. Cos I haven't really perfected the position to carry her so that she's comfy. But now, I am getting much better at that and every feed is a breeze.

And it's getting more fun now because Joey can sort of recognise her name. When we call her name, she will sometimes smile at the sound of it. And when we play with her or nibble and kiss her fingers, she will also break into a wide grin. She also loves to stare and smile at her musical mobiles that's hanging on her cot now. I think she likes the pooh bear one better, Maybe it's a gal & soft toy thing. : ) It's really satisfying, knowing that she now has a greater awareness of her surroundings. There were some occasions when she was 'laughing' so heartily that there's sounds of giggles and her whole body shakes alittle.. haha.. so cute!

Anyway, today I bathed her successfully again, and this time really all by myself. Hehe.. Totally no crying from Joey today, so I think I'm really getting there (smile proudly to myself). I have some photos as proof that she looks really comfy after her bath. See!

And she got so comfortable that she fell asleep soon after that.... ZzzzzZzzz...
