So here's a list of things about her so far.
1. Leia loooooves her 'milk milk'. (I somehow love to repeat the word twice when talking to her) We find her a voracious eater who does the alligator snap whenever the bottle or boob nears her mouth. And she gets really impatient and fussy (yes, she cries and cries) if you don't give her milk when she wants it. She's drinking quite abit of milk for a newborn and we have been increasing her intake constantly because it's always never enough hehe.
The good thing about Leia is that she loves both breast and formula milk so we don't have to worry about that.
2. She needs to be carried alot! Like most babies, our baby craves for human touch and warmth. And maybe it's because she's used to being rocked in womb, she still wants it now! All of us have to walk, rock or bounce her to get her to fall asleep. Yes, it gets tiring but I've stopped complaining and calling her spoilt. I've come to terms that our leia is just a baby who wants to be loved and cuddled! And she needs help to get to sleep. Why would we want to deprive her of that?
3. She gets reeeeaaaalllly fussy when pooping or farting. This is quite funny actually. I'm not sure if its normal for babies to experience this but it gets to leia all the time. She hates to poop and fart because everytime she does, not only does her face turn bright red and grumpy, she also cries. And it's awfully hard to soothe her when this happens because we just can't do anything about it! I tried rubbing her tummy and cycling her legs to make it easier for her but it usually doesn't work. The only thing we can do is to pick her up and rock her, hoping that the process will be over soon -.-
4. Leia makes the funniest, cutest noises. When she drinks milk, she always make this 'hmm hmm' sound and it's super adorable. I just wanna cuddle her to bits!
She also has this one cry to call for attention. It's this one second cry out that's not continuous, almost like a shout.
And oh my, when she sleeps, she's the noisiest. She kinda resembles a lil dino, making all sorts of dino sounding high pitched sounds which we really cannot decipher. I never knew babies were capable of such a high frequency.
5. Baby totally loves her bath time! She's always so awake and wide eyed when being bathed. But there was once, she was so comfy that she fell asleep haha.
6. Strangely, she likes being on the high changing table. She always seems so calm and inquisitive on the table and we really wonder why. Is it the height? Is it the colourful patterns on the table? Who knows.
7. So far, baby often displays a grumpy expression. G and I call her Miss grumps sometimes hehe. But there is the rate occasion when she smiles and it makes my heart melt. Sure, her smile is often crooked but its still sooooooo cute that I could die haha.
8. During her extremely awake moments, her eyes are really really huge and adorable. And she loves to look around as though the world is just one big wonderland.
