Yes, Sara's gonna be 26 months come end of this week.. and as I just last weighed her, she's already touching the 14kg mark.
One thing I really thank my aunt for taking real good care of Sara, especially in her food and her well-being. I made the right choice to come back, because being a first time mom, you don't know much about taking care of babies. And though I was with Sara till 7 months before I went back to the workforce, I still felt that I was also a full time mum.... after work that is.
And we were at a camp when I tried to leave Sara at the kids church, but she insisted that I went in with her and held on my hands. The teacher asked me if I was a full time mummy. I wondered why she asked me that. I said, no, I'm NOT a full time mum. She said it's quite weird for Sara to be so attached to me because usually for kids whose mum is not full time, they are not so attached. Well, she's attached alright. Once I take her back from aunt's place after work, she sticks to me like a leech until she sleeps.
And weekends, she's with us all the time. So that's why she sticks to us like crazy. And though aunt takes care of her, but most of the time when Sara gets really sick (like fever for more than a day or high fever), I will be the one taking leave to attend to her and also to send her to the clinic.
Also, aunt makes sure that Sara is always "pumped" up. By hook of by crook, she will try all kinds of ways to make sure Sara finishes her 1.5 bowl of meal. Even when Sara throws a tantrum. :( Else, aunt will usually wait for me to pick her up and makes sure I feed her till finish. Either that, I will bring back the porridge to feed her. Of late, we saw Sara's appetite increasing, despite the amount of solids she's taking in. We have to increase her milk on normal times, 7-8oz (previously 6 oz) and before she sleeps, 10-11 oz!).
And yes, so I hope to continue on with this routine even when we are away and also when I have my #2 (not in the plan yet :P).
Looking forward to a new beginning.... AGAIN... yes.. AGAIN...
