Spent the whole weekend at home, having quality time with daughter. I patiently layan all her antics which include playing with her toy piano, running around, supervising her at the stairs, stopping her from grabbing the cat’s tail etc. It’s tiring especially the carrying her around, all 10kg…*sigh * Hopefully I burned some calories along the way…LOL. A look at her happy face and a flash of her magic smile make the tiredness go away. I guess, this is the factors that make a mother can endure all the pain and suffering…some time beyond our imagination.
Okay, back on track. While having happy-happy time, out of a sudden daughter started biting my left shoulder. Ouch! Told her politely to stop doing so bcos it hurts…she gave me that innocent smile and stopped but only for a while. Then the second, third and few more bites follows…she didn’t stop despite my warning until I left her alone at the couch. Said I’m going away bcos daughter don’t want her mommy anymore that she began to cry and scrambled down the couch to get her mommy. Ah…this tactic always work…after that no more bites.. but she refused to be put down lah pulak…afraid mommy’ll leave her. Aiyaa…* a slap on the forehead *
Biting is often associated with tooth coming out, making the gum all itchy. This is most probably what daughter going through right now since her saliva is drooling like tap water again. But in the same time, I’m afraid the biting will become a habit. She often bites her grandma on the arms and shoulders as well. Kesian her grandma…since she is diabetic, the bite marks will turn into bruise and takes a few days or sometime a week long before it disappear. Forget the teeter, daughter's interest in it has long gone.
So, all the experienced mommy or daddy out there…got any useful tips on how to curb the biting and/or clingy problem? Please share them. Me, trying to curb it at an early age bcos bad habit die hard.

That’s exactly what a friend said to me once, and I couldn’t agree more. Having my own daughter and watching her grows, learning new skills each day is indeed the best thing that ever happen to me…(besides tying the knot * blush * ). Better still, I don’t have to spend a cent to see them. Doubt it if any amount of money can buy this sort of experience. All the mommies out there, don’t you agree with me?
Seems like only yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. Now she's 10 mths, 3 weeks and 2 days old. Looks more like a toddler than a baby. From just that simple cooing sound, she now babbles a lot. Sometime it sounds like
da-da,
ta-ta…other times, she’ll shout just to get my attention.
Now sitting isn’t enough anymore, she always pulls herself up to standing position. Cruising in her baby cot, sometime without holding on to something. Even try to climb the coffee table and sofa. She can wave bye-bye and play patty-cake. Stretched out her arms when she wants a lift. She glide her walker under the dining table in a blink.
Of course, being a baby, there are times that she is being super cranky. Throws tantrums when we took away the TV remote from her, refuses to be seated, throws away all her toys, cries in a high-pitched voice, cling on my waist all the time... The hair pulling, nose/eyes poking, face slapping, pinching and chewing do get on my nerves sometime. When this happened, I’ll try my very best to stop her, saying “No” in the most authoritative tone and serious face
la kunun...she’ll pause and flashes me that smile..that MAGIC SMILE… the smile that melt my heart away. It makes me feel high, it make me forget all the negativity *sigh * There’s nothing like a
baby’s smile. It sure can turn a hardened parental heart into a pool of sentimental slush in an instant. The spontaneous giggles and laughers are even more addictive than those delicious chocolate. * sigh*
Suddenly, I feel blessed for having such a beautiful baby and being able to experience all these.
P/s: Congratulations to a dear friend of mine, Jc who had gave birth to a baby girl yesterday. Welcome to MOTHERHOOD girl.
