dipdip's progress report

-

At 2 months+, dipdip has found a new habit of feeding on her fist. She’s like eating fried chicken. She started to do that from the time that she no longer wore any mittens. I don’t know if all babies do this at a certain stage but it’s a habit that I don’t want to tolerate. I know that it wouldn’t be long until she would find thumb sucking even more enjoyable than her fist. I sure hope though she’d skip this stage.

    LOL...wrist sucking? I think that's normal---I've seen babies suck the heck out of other parts of their bodies. Rome seems to favor his toes. I think she'll be fine sucking her thumbs or wrists. They say that it's a calming instinct that babies learn to do.

    Heh heh...just don't pull her hand away or she'll probably give you a nasty look!

    ...and she's quite a cutie with them big pretty eyes!

    let her do that Jo and later she will prefer her fingers to suck rather than the pacifier. she does like la petite and with this she doesn't need pacifier as well.

    thanks bchai and shanix. i'll take your advice and will make sure her hands are always clean. btw, she's still not using pacifier. they say it's not good to use pacifiers as it could pose dental and speech problems. what's ur take on this?

    Hmmm...I was a paci-sucker from hell as a baby. My teeth came out okay. I mean, I didn't have any real problems with them growing up. As for speech? lol...I turned out okay in that area as well.

    Rome is a paci sucker too, but he doesn't depend on it. We just give it to him to calm him down until the milk gets to him.

I missed Mommy Moments for a while. Now, I'm back. :-) Anyway, the topic is all about baby's shoes. So now I'm sharing this to the rest of the mommies here. For those who would like to join in the fun in sharing their shoes stories, just click on the Mommy Moments badge. this is her old pair. she first learned how to walk with these shoes. it's too small for her now. :-) she has a pink pair. but it won't fit her just yet. we're putting some tissue inside just so it would fit her. talk about parents' ingenuity! this one is a hand-me-down (her first cousin used to own this pair) but it fits just right! i don't know if this would fit under the 'shoes' category. let's just call this a footwear. :-) so now, she's pretty much walking with this hand-me-down pair!

that's my dad

I am not sure if I have mentioned in any of my posts that my father is a professional mechanical engineer and that he works at a sugar milling company. Career-wise, he actually had humble beginnings where he started from a mere rank and file employee who works hands-on with bearings,  vise accessories and other industrial supplies and equipment that I am not familiar with, until he got promoted to a supervisory position. Today, even when he is already past the age of retirement, he is still working, although now I heard he is already holding a consultancy position (sort of). I am proud of my dad's achievements especially that I am aware that he worked really hard to earn his title. He's not from a well-to-do family; so, he had to work his way to get to college. I remembered even when he already got promoted in supervisory level, he's still willing to do manual labor if he deemed it necessary. He also has a lot of friends at work and this is because he didn't forge...
