Stroke my hair, pls..
Joey loves to have her hair stroked. I think it's a girl thing, because I also like people to stroke my hair. And when I say 'people', I mean my husband, not anybody else. So, please don't attempt to stroke my hair the next time you see me, thinking that I would appreciate it, cos I won't. I might even box you. Pervert.
Back to my point. Sleeping is no longer a natural thing for Joey nowadays. Now that she has a greater awareness of her environment, she will always want to look and play even when she is super tired. She would push her body and lift her head real high to look around and then whine and cry when her arms get too tired of lifting her 7kg body. But she just won't give it up. I got to keep pushing her head down and stuffing her pacifier into her mouth to make her want to sleep. Stroking her hair always help because she feels comfortable and loved that way. And most of the time, I got to multi-task. Keeping the pacifier stuffed inside her mouth, patting her back and stroking her hair, at the same time, mumble things like "joey is a good gal, mummy loves you.. oin oin loh.."
Today is Monday, which means I get to spend the whole day at home with Joey. And whole day at home with Joey means it's an endless cycle of milk feeding diaper changing, water feeding and then patting to sleep. Approximately 2 hours later, the same cycle happens. In betwee, she refuses to sleep, so I spend some time playing with her. Regardless of whether she sleeps, it's feeding time 2 hours later. It's tiring, I must say. And time flies when you go through cycles like that. But I really enjoy taking care of Joey nowadays because she can respond to me now. And most of the time when she is awake, we spend our time talking to each other, even though she can't understand me and vice versa.
I tried to take photos of her today but she's just fidgeting so much that I can't get many decent shots. Here's some:

Don't you agree that my girl is looking more girly nowadays?? Someone recently told me that she definitely got the face of a girl, and whoever says she looks like a boy really don't know how to see. I am so thrilled by that comment that I was determined to make that person my best friend. Even though I seriously can't remember who said it now. wahaha..
