发烧

Started Friday evening (Good Friday) and it's now Monday... teething?

UPDATE: OK it's roseola! a.k.a. 假疹. Alarming as the fever can get pretty high, but apparently it's harmless and the only treatment is to let it run its course. She really had a hard time when the rashes erupted — was up the whole night and kept clinging to me. I couldn't put her down at all. We could only get some sleep around 4am. When dawn came we bundled to the hospital. Thank goodness she had some relief with Calamine...

But the poor thing's lost precious weight... A sick baby is a sad sight to behold.

Babbling

Hui Ning started babbling again: "Awawawawawa. Wawawapapawawabaawa..."

UPDATE: 3 days later and now she's developed a very nice pattern of "papa, papa, papa, pa pa pa paaa. papa."

捉迷藏

话说昨晚宁儿又在学步机里溜达呀溜达，就撞上了玻璃门。怎么知道这小瓜就忽然拉起了落地窗帘，躲了进去⋯⋯

MC 还在唤着她“慧宁跑去哪里了？”

她还竟然会又躲了二、三秒⋯⋯才又忽然掀开窗帘，露出两只大门牙对她爸爸笑得卡卡声！

而且，同样的把戏又在玩了两三次才甘愿。

现在的小孩子哦⋯⋯

Second tooth — and mayhaps a third!

We noted a second upper front tooth sprouting last night. And this morning the babysitter told me she suspected then a lower front tooth is coming out as well, but it's a bit further in and we'd have to feel for it.

Crooked teeth? Say it ain't so...

再次挂彩

小瓜今天又再挂彩了。吃完晚饭，还在车上时，妈妈还摇了个电话来问慧宁有没有乖（还好啦，还……好……＊心虚＊），没想到一回到家安娣就抱着个瓜出来和我们报告……玩得太得意忘形了，一个跟头栽到地上，嘴唇给牙齿敲得——破相了！

红色的血流呀流……虽然给她喝了些水后就止住了，但安娣还是担心伤口会发炎什么的，就马上抱她去看医生。

结果……车还没开到路口，这个瓜就已经乐不可支地笑呵呵，跳上跳下了。（这么晚了还有得逛街，yeay!）（yeay 你个头啦，没把人吓死。）

到了诊疗所，见到医生还对医生笑呵呵，搞得医生有点难以置信这个瓜十分钟前才刚摔破嘴唇。看了伤势后，确定没有大碍，只是拿了些消肿药以防万一就是了。

只是啊，从此以后“大只虫”这个外号是更加摆脱不了了！

Finally - A Pearly White Tooth!

After much grizzling, howling, mewling and frustrated gnawing — the first signs of a single hard, pearly white front upper tooth appeared this morning!

Stand -- at 7 months 3 weeks!

OMG She's standing!



This means the the bassinet has to go then. Sure, sure... look smug about it all.
