Grumpy Baby

I want my miiiiiiiiiilkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!

Grumpy baby on a car ride

Eh? Why no milk? (trying to stall for time while milk is being prepared)

Just when we thought that things are rosy, En Xi's fussiness makes a comeback.

Over the past week, she has been quite a difficult child. Not only does wants to be cuddled all the time, she even refuses to take her naps! The only way to calm her down is to drape her over our shoulders and pacifying her with our limited selection of off-tune nursery rhymes. Just imagine a mother chimpazee carrying her baby, that's pretty much how I look most of the time. The good thing is that as a result of the cuddling, I have developed some well-toned abs over the past few days.

That's not all. And she seems to be hungry all the time!! She gulps down 3 ounces of milk in less than 5 mins, something which is a rare feat for a 7-weeks old baby. And within minutes, she lets out her piercing cries again, demanding for more food.

It has been a truly tiring week. But the rewarding moments are when she finally calms down and greets us with her lovable smile. Hope that things will improve soon :(
