The last day in your Eleventh Month

Emma, now is almost the last two hours in your eleventh month. You will start your 12th month very soon! Mom really want to have the time stopped as mom love to cuddle you like a baby and see your goog, yiyi, yaya. You will be reaching your one year old milestone soon. It is amazing to look at your photo album and see your change every day and every month from a new born to a almost toddler.

You are still not crawling yet, maybe you will skip the crawling and start walking instead. You do like walking around in the house with mom, dad or grandma's hold under your arm. You are not able to stand up or pull up by your own yet. I think you have a good memory and focus on details, a fast learner for eating and using cups. You like beautiful pictures, colors and music. You like a little bit quite environment. Sometime you are FA Dai looks you are thinking something. You are not very interested in the place full of children or noisy. You are a little bit behind developing in the mobility, but it is okay as every child is different.

Unfortunately mom will go back to work one week before your one year old birthday. There are about 26 days left that we can spend time together. Mom will value the every minutes with you in home :)

大便问题

EMMA的大便还是有问题，又干又硬，拉的时候很吃力，急的直哭。今天早上换尿布时，看到她在用力，看到巴巴即将出来了，又在哭，妈妈只好头一次上手帮了一把，小手指一扣，一块硬硬的小爸爸出来了。

请教了一下MOTHER BABY CLINIC， 可以加苹果汁，多吃西梅，暂停香蕉。

Emma's pictures

Emma's pictures haven't been printed since her 4th month. Mom has been keep downloading, uploading and organizing Emma's pictures every month. It kept mom busy but mom enjoyed it! Mom spent a couple of evening time to pick Emma's good pictures. Mom have printed more than two hundreds pictures, which is full of family's beautiful memories. I believe these pictures will encourage mom when mom in some bad days.

Yesterday, we also visited the baby sitter - Angela. Her daughter Isabelle with two years old looks like Emma. Emma still have strong interesting to watch everything around her.

The 8 weeks of Kindermusic is finished yesterday. General speaking, Emma likes it. However she is a special one during those babies. She is not interested in the toys but all the people, babies and environment around her. She is a good observer. I really want to know how this specialty will develop in Emma's future life.

Mom,

一点感动

今天晚上喂完奶，把EMMA放上小床后，妈妈站在床前，静静地看了一会儿进入梦乡的小EMMA，那可爱的熟睡的样子，确实是对妈妈最好的安慰。听着这熟悉的睡眠曲子（已经有九或十个月了吧），从清凉的夏夜，到深秋的皓月，到寒冷的冬夜，妈妈每次坐在这个房间里给EMMA喂奶都有很多不同的心情。现在奶量已经逐渐减少了，EMMA也快要断奶了，妈妈不久也要上班去了，对将来的日子有很多期待，也有很多踌躇。面对着这熟悉的小屋，音乐和一天天长大的小人，心里突然有种说不出莫名的感动，为这段难忘的日日夜夜，也为自己。女人如果没有过孩子，是无论如何体会不到这种心情，这种感觉。

EMMA 会用吸管了！

昨天给EMMA买了吸管的杯子，她很喜欢这个新玩具，在手里翻来覆去玩了半天，本想有空的时候教她用吸管喝水，没想到，我晚饭还没吃完，EMMA已经从咬管子到喝到了水！她很ENJOY这个新鲜玩意，一下子喝了好多水！EMMA在吃的方面好有天分啊！

Emma like tummy down during the nap

Emma doesn't want to sleep in the sleeping bag while she is napping. She like tummy down or lay on one side instead of lay on back, which was her major sleep position before.

She plays in he crib and then falling into sleep with her tummy down, which looks so cute :)

We had our 2nd new car

After mom and dad's serious consideration, we bought our 2nd new car - Hyundai Sonata 2006, with 70,000km on it. It will make our new live a little easier after mom go back to work.

Lilli is such a nice person that she has been picked me up for almost 6 months for all kinds of baby activities. She always very helpful to all her friends. It is inconvenient with one car by handle the work and baby.

Anyway,today is the first time Mom doesn't need get up early to drive your dad to work and then drive you to the Kindermusic, and Mom can had the grocery shopping done without rush, and we can sit in home to wait your dad back :) It is nice to have the second car although it is expensive.

Mom,

The "fight" with Emma on the change table

Emma still can not claw yet but she likes flip over and over. Now it is getting harder and harder to change her on the change table. She has strong will and wants to flip over. I have to find all kinds of new toys to entertain her for a few minutes and speed up the change diaper. Now thinks about the times when she was little, it was so easy to change her :)

The last day in your Tenth Month

Emma, right now is the last hour in your Tenth Month. You are going to enter your the eleventh month very soon! It is hard to believe the time flies so fast.

Mommy just put away some stuff for nursing use. When I clean the pump, I felt everything just like happened in yesterday. It was hard in the beginning to get the milk supply going. However, Mommy made it with great effort. Mommy is very proud for your weight gaining and you have been very healthy since you were born with the breastfeeding! Now it is time for you to be more independent. When I put the bottles rack and the two empty Funigreek bottles (for collecting the milk when nursing. Quick calculation: average 6 times a day x 8 months x 30 days = 1440 times usage. Mommy has been collecting the milk for almost eight months to storage some breast milk for your drink after the weaning), my feeling is mixed. I have so much memories while I nursing you during the day and night by holding these two bottles. Finally, Mommy took the picture for the bottle rack and the two bottles.

Hope you will make new progress in your new month!

Good night,
Mommy
