小虎| 2個月大趣事錄

兩個月大的嬰兒有幾聰明？

會吮手指
小虎從初初只會吮拳頭到學會吮手指只需一日, 但婆婆話吮手指是不好的習慣, 要阻止她. 每次我拿開她的手, 她就會哭. 試過將手巾放在她的手, 初初都會吮手巾, 但最終都會知道被騙而大哭. 我也試過將毛毯壓住她的手, 但她會偷偷在毛毯下吮手指. 小鬼確實聰明!

會抬頭 & 眼仔會跟住走

第一次tummy time, 小虎一開始就抬45度, 一分鐘後她可以抬頭90度, 條頸好有力呀! 小虎眼仔重會跟住我的手從左至右, 從右至左, 從下到上看. Um...不知道什麼時候她會爬?!

會笑
小虎有無敵笑容, 超可愛!

.........還有...........

小虎的可愛睡姿
織那BearBear帽, 織到我眼痛. 為的都是讓小虎靚靚拍studio照.
哈! 佢嘅海棠春睡post, 重有迷人嘅眼神.
其實佢好似公公.

小虎的小手手 vs  媽媽的大手
Grace姨話: 佢手指仔好長, 隻手好靚呀!
婆婆話: 係呀!一定要佢学琴.
.....點解一定要人学琴, 学其他嘢唔得.

小虎| 1個月大趣事錄

住院記
小虎出咗世第二日就要照登. 初初响我房照overhead嘅登, 後來我出得院, 就轉去兒科照大登. 頭頭三日, 每日都只降1度. 醫生話進度不如理想, 要額外加多塊登版响背脊下面照, double個效力.不過都無用, 重只降得0.5度添. 本來生悄鬼馬的醫生, 面都黑曬冇乜表情, 靜默咗3分鐘, 就話除曬D登, 試吓唔好照. 當時真係擔心死. 最衰D護士日日都話ok 應該出得院, 但次次醫生都話要等黃疸數降多D, 令我哋每日都空歡喜, pack完D嘢又unpack, 失望收塲. 因為黄疸BB會好累, 冇乜心機食奶, 好難喂佢, 加上又要响30分鐘內嗱佢出嚟+喂+拍背+換片+放返佢內去, 超高難度. 所以我7日嚟都响間房無出去, 真係人都癲! 冇postpartum depression都變有啦! 最終,唔照嘅科案係work嘅, 佢足足照咗6日, 我就住咗7日院. 真係有生以來最黑暗嘅一個星期(加上冇得沖涼).

睇吓小虎成個太空人0甘, 好cute呀!

                                               

... 但脚仔日日都俾人抽2次血, 好可憐!


Camera Face
邊有人一出世就識望鏡頭0家! 有呀, 我個小虎第一次食奶時就會跟住爸爸個相機望. 話咗係食奶嘅vedio當然唔會post响到啦, 但有佢D靚post相.

第一次微笑
其實小虎第三週就識得笑,係無意識嘅.有意識笑要到第五週才曉. 第一次嘅笑係响婆婆同佢換片時發生嘅. 婆婆好lucky呀! 婆婆love love love 妹妹豬(婆婆改嘅).

佢哭嘅樣都好得意0家!

我變!我變!我變兩眼皮
初初我以為佢有單眼皮而好失望, 但亞姨(姨婆)話吓會變兩眼皮. 真係响第2週佢就變咗兩眼皮, 對眼都大D, 好靚女呀!

公公! 去游水啦!

爸爸, 無騙你, 有相為證, 我懷孕時就已經買左泳衣給小虎同你去游水.  See! 跟我之前買給你的夏威夷卹一樣, 是車厘子圖案, 這樣你們就可以著情侶裝去游水啦!

還有,我們一早已跟哥哥弟弟講過,返港要請你和媽媽去日本北海道家庭旅行, 泡溫泉, 吃魚生/海膽的!

爸爸, 加油! 加油!

公公, 加油! 你重要教我游水o家!
我沖涼都無哭, 重好鍾意玩水, 跟我鉤鉤手指, 一定要帶我去游水.
最多比你送我"錶錶" la.

坐月飲食療養: 法國廊酒Benedictine D.O.M.

這個星期，媽媽的馬來西亞朋友帶她買了一瓶法國廊酒.
 
什麼是廊酒？

法國廊酒, 芳香濃郁, 以葡萄蒸餾酒做基酒，用27種草藥調香，其中有當歸、鼻血草、鐵線蕨、丁香、肉豆蔻、沒藥、肉桂、番紅花等，再摻兌糖液和蜂蜜, 需要兩年才能釀製出廠. 因廊酒含有蜂蜜成分, 酒帶甜味, 是產婦坐月的絕妙滋補養生佳釀.



廊酒燉黑雞湯 (2人用, 睡前最好喝)

配料: 黑雞約300克, 廊酒150毫升, 水150毫升, 杞子50克, 一些生薑
做法: 雞洗淨, 切成片, 去皮. 將雞和其他成分為雙鍋爐, 關閉蓋子, 燉3小時.

Baby Toiletries - Weleda

There are many debates on what baby toiletries to use on those silky baby skin. Most parents prefer the big household brand Johnson's & Johnson's, some organic parents go for California Baby, some parents pick Mustela.

Initially, my preference is SebaMed 5.5 because I have sensitive skin and have been using it since I was a kid. However, not all SebaMed products works for me. I like their shower gel, face cream and lotion, but not the shampoo and the entire acne line. Couple years ago, I started to use Weleda Wild Rose face cream and I totally felt in love with it. Besides the face cream, the skin food hand cream and shower gel are wonderful as well. Their products smell good and keep my skin baby soft. Thus, their product made in Germany. Oh, Germany has very high standards on organic and natural products. Here I am, Weleda for my baby girl.

With the current sales at a local Health Store(~$2-3off) and the Weleda's online coupon($2off, good til Dec), I got a really good deal. I bought 10 Hair and Body Wash and 3 Cream Bath...really stocking up my baby toiletries. :)

Travel Light = Simple Life

This week sermon is 'Travel Light, Think Right, Talk Straight" on Mark 6:7-13.

Um...Travel light, am I? Properly not. I always try to pack light, but usually find at least three or four pieces of fresh clothes at the end of my trips. I guess if I have this issue during travel, I have the same problem at home and in my life.

You know I am having a baby girl and it's fun to shop for those lovely girl clothes. You properly know that I did say that I have bought way more than enough clothes for her. I feel guilty. I know it's my first child and most mommies committed the same mistake. My issue is not just about spoiling her, I may set myself up for "owning" her instead of "looking after" her. The more love I pour for her, the more concerns I have on her. The more concerns I have, the more guidance I will give her. She will become a mini me or "I wanna be" instead of being herself. Will I travel light if I have so many concerns? I will say no to that.

At a personal level, I think I need to learn how to say "enough" to myself and stop buying and owning stuff. For being a mom, I need to keep reminding myself that she is an individual and I am the designated care provider for her for a period of time...and with that, I should let God to mold her and shape her to be the person HE wants her to be.

We could fix our eyes on God only when we travel light in this world.

西式|餐: 小虎的牛排

[2010/9/9] 小虎喜歡食牛排, 所以她讓我時時想大片大片的牛排!
煮牛排唯一的技巧是準備非常高熱的鍋才下牛排. 煎到brown有烤痕, 看到牛排邊有一半熟, 先在牛排生個面加鹽和胡椒, 翻過牛排來煎. 煎到有烤痕, 即七-八成熟.
