Joey's 1st one & half weeks were a bliss. She would sleep, wake to drink milk every 3 hours, fall asleep immediately again, then wake again 3 hours later for her milk.... But slowly, she would have hours where she will be awake & just lie there staring at lights or into space, whine a little before falling asleep again. And her personality is starting to show.
From what Isaiah & I analysed, she is a mini chili padi and wants to control everything. haha..
Why do we say that? At the beginning, her cries are still whimpy and very demure, and it happens in accelerating volumes and intensity so that at least we have some seconds to get to her before she breaks into a screaming frantic. But now, no more.. the moment she lets out a sound to catch your attention, it's a full-volume, top-pitch screech! It's like screaming "I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Both isaiah and I have declined to admit that she got that from either one of us.
She's a control freak too cos when we feed her, she wants to hold her own bottle! Haha.. no kidding.. but her both hands will grab the bottle tightly. So sometimes I will joke 'ok lah, joey.. u hold your own bottle and feed yourself la..' But of course, it's only a joke lah.. if I really do that, she will burst into that full-voume, top-pitch screech again! And of course, neither Isaiah nor I have accepted responsibility for this character of hers too.. haha..
