Twist and Turn

How do babies fart? By twist and turn. Waking Sihuai up at nite to feed means u have to give her an extra five minutes to twist and turn to get her farts out. Then she would be able to feed more comfortably. O/w she would be doing rock and roll while feeding or else be crying a fuss.

So far, her stomach issues have been milder than Siyuan. We suspect it's becos she has better "milk management" as the maternal nurse in Australia called it. ie, she doesn't overfeed, whereas Siyuan would even store milk in his mouth. Her twist and turn also seems more effective in getting the fart out, although this bit could be wrong as my memories of Siyuan's early days have already faded away, leaving only the nice bits.
Lux says my memory has been sanitized.

Siyuan and No

Supposedly toddler learn to say no quickly, which then becomes their fav word. Siyuan learned the word MORE first and preferred that. Yes, he's a glutton.
Now however, at 2.5 years old, the word no is creeping into his vocab more and more. Even to the extent that if I use Putonghua to describe something, he would say no, preferring in in English.

Sleeps like her brother

Here's a picture of her fav sleeping posture. Yes, it's the same one Siyuan had at that age and for a while.

The weary bit

okay, so the excitement has worn off. Sihuai has also moved from the sleep 20 hour-phase, and is more alert. Naturally in the second month, the development of her stomach meant more wind, more discomfort. Been breastfeed meant she could go for two weeks without pooing. U can imagine what happens then.
The second and third months are the tiring part.
We're starting to put her on her front. This a pic.
