our little china doll
this is ashley with her new china doll haircut, soothing her teething pains on her new high chair.
these pictures were taken when she went for her immunisation jabs last thursday.
anti-clockwise from top left:
(1) she's always taking LONG naps when we're in a hurry to go out! she typically takes a hour-long nap after her morning bath... but that morning, she stretched it till almost two hours! we had to carry her out of her cot, else she would be late for her appointment - maybe she knows she's not going out to have fun.
(2) being carried by daddy just after her jabs - by the way, it's two jabs - one on each thigh. she only made a soft yell when the needles went in, and then she just went silent as if nothing happened - no screams, no tears. what a brave darling!
(3) daddy pressing the cotton wool against her injection site.
(4) "i'm feeling bored, when can we head home?" there is a 15-minute waiting period, in case of sudden reaction to the jabs, luckily we brought along her colourful loops for her to chew on.
(5) before we head home, we went to the supermarket (her first time into NTUC!) to look for her rice cereals. i was quite keen to start her on the brown rice cereals from healthy times after seeing several good reviews on the baby forums. anyway, it was out of stock (there's only the oatmeal one that's shown here). btw, we went searching for it at a few NTUC/cold storage but to no avail - most places do not have the whole range of cereals and in particular, the brown rice one was sold out everywhere! (in any case, i bought bellamy's baby rice from cold storage jelita in the end.)
lastly, ashley's stats @ 5m14d - weight = 8.22kg (>97th percentile - i think she's just slightly OUT OF THE CURVE - oh no!), height = 66.1cm (75th percentile - thankfully above average!), head circumference = 43cm (90th percentile). i think based on her height and weight combined, she's about 97th percentile (phew, not an outlier!). anyway, the nurse said that there's no concern since she's on total breastmilk, and such babies will lose weight once they learnt how to crawl and walk - eh, we shall see.
