9 months

It's 'mummy dearest' for little baby during the last 2 weeks. She's been wanting me to put her to sleep at night, and also to carry her at various times during the day. When she wakes in the middle of the night, she looks for me too. Seems like she's teething again, so it's uncomfortable for her. It's sweet and endearing when she crawls to us or lifts up her arms for hugs, or presses her lips against our faces to kiss us ... nice to feel so wanted and loved =) But it's been tiring as well, and to minimise my having to wake up in the middle of the night to carry her out from her crib to soothe her, I just let her sleep beside me on the big bed. Now that she's reached the ripe 'old' age of 9 months, she's become more independent, and the 'mummy dearest' days are over (not without a pang of regret on my part).

She's a little 'kay poh' queen too - always wants to find out and observe what we are doing and eating. That's why we jokingly call her the supervisor in the house!
