Kylie has started to "talk" recently. Yesterday I heard her reply back to me with a "Ang Guuuu". Very cute and pleasing to my ears. Haha.
Sometimes when you leave her lying on her cot or the playpen, she will "talk" and look for people. When someone walks to her and responds to her, she will smile happily and "say a few words".
I really like her smile. And I will miss the amount of time I have spent with her during these 2 months plus of maternity leave. Will be back to the workforce this friday. I will miss her dearly.

Finally decided to bring Kristy to have her delayed pneumococcal jab. I have been procrastinating for too long. I worried about her having fever or rashes after the jab. But for her own sake, I decided to bring her to have the jab today before I go back to work this friday.
We told her yesterday that I would be bringing her for an injection. She was agreeable to it. I told her she would miss school today as I would be bringing her for the jab in the morning 9am.
We were late for the 9am appointment, thus we had to wait for a while before our turn. When we reached the clinic, Kristy was well behaved as compared to the previous visits. She sat at the play corner and played with the toys there.
When we entered the Dr Lieu's room, Kristy went to the play corner straight away and put 1 pail of toys up on Dr Lieu's table. Carried her up to sit on the cushion designated for babies/toddlers to lie/sit down. I had to hug Kristy tight before Dr Lieu could jab her. When the needle went in, everything was ok. But few seconds later, Kristy let out a big cry when the needle was been pulled out. She cried very loud and was screaming. Big drops of tears roll down her cheeks. I continued to hug her and tried to pacify her, sayang her. I said I would give her a box of raisins.
Dr Lieu tried to pacify her too. She gave Kristy some stickers and pasted them on her right hand. Soon all was well. I asked Kristy to say bye bye to Dr Lieu and we left the room. Once we left the room, I gave her the box of raisins as promised. Paid for the jab and we took 171 back to my mother's place. She was extra well behaved on the bus too. Instead of standing on the seat as was previously, she sat there quietly, eating her raisins. I wondered was it because of the raisins that could make her sit down quietly.
The cost of the today's visit cost $235. The jab costs $180, and the rest of the cost is the doctor's consultation and the bottle of paracetamol.
Will have to monitor for fever and rashes. Hope none of these appear. *Pray*

Time passes. Kylie is 2 months old today. She has grown from much during these 2 months. She is getting chubbier, very cute.
She has started to follow the movements of items and people. When she's lying in her cot, she will follow the person's movements. If someone walked from her left side to her back, she will tilt her head back to look at the person. Such a kaypoh little girl.
When we called her name, 纬恩, she will respond back by smiling cheerfully. I like to see her smile. It really brightens up your day and make you fall in love with her all over again. She is a happy child. Smiling most of the times. She will also "look" for people to chat with her. Whenever anyone responds back to her "ahhhh", she will smile back.
Kristy dotes on her a lot. She will plant kisses on Kylie's face, forehead, hair. She will request to carry Kylie, feed Kylie, place back the pacifier into Kylie's mouth when it dropped. But her fight for attention is still very fierce. I really wonder when will she get over it.
I hope both sisters will be able to love and care for each other always.

I had always wanted to take photos of a smiling Kylie but the camera was always not near me whenever she smiled. And so one night, I decided to play with her to smile for me. Everytime I see her smile, my heart melts. I like to see her smiles. I hope to see her smile everyday. And I hope she will grow up to be a smiley gal, an optimistic gal.
Had not been updating much recently due to lack of time and laziness. But partly because I do not know what to blog about.
I remembered I told Melissa the other day. The number of photos I had taken of Kylie were very few. Not as many as the photos I took of Kristy. I took photos of Kristy everyday but not for Kylie. Seems to be very unfair. It's funny that I do not have that kind of enthusiasm of taking photos. No wonder people always say that #2 (or subsequent children) will not have as many photos as the eldest.
But I put in more effort in taking care of Kylie. During Kristy's time, I let my mother took care of Kristy more while I did my stuff like chatting with friends on MSN, watching TV or even playing games. So this time, I could tell why is she crying; for milk, for companion or others.
I'm also more hardworking in breastfeeding this time round. Supply is good. And till now, Kylie is still on total breast milk. I hope to continue on even when I'm back at work. Hope to last for at least 6 months. Best is 1 year. :)
P.S. This post seems to be quite rojak and each paragraph does not really link. I'm just trying to put my thoughts for the past few weeks up.
