size wise, her 3-12 months baby socks looks tight on her. her 3 months clothes are kept away bit by bit. her bathtime is not longer in the basin as she's been hitting the water tap. i have to start bathing her in her tub. i've been putting that off as my back & legs cant take it - the basin is much easier.
development wise, she now has her meals 5 times a day. each time is about 6.5 oz. except for her first meal of the day where she takes more than 7oz. she has her bottle at around 10pm before sleeping through the night and asking for her first bottle at 10am the next day. she regressed a couple of times where she wakes up for an early morning feed but generally she's been really good. i do my chores mainly in the morning and its nice to have a quiet house during that time.
amani is interacting more now. she smiles when we talk to her, pulls her sad face when we tell her off, follows kakak's and abangs' movements when she lies down in her rocker. the smiling bit is what i love most. she's not a very smiley baby. she frowns and cries most of the time but now she's responding really well to us and its lovely to see her so happy, even if it is just for a few minutes.
she's not been exercising much. my fault really, i'm just not up to exercising with her. she only moves her head and kicks her feet generally. amira was already holding her head up when she was amani's age, but amani pushes her head up for mere seconds at a time.
because amani gets her full day quota of sleep before noon, she's very fussy and grumpy after lunchtime. she wants to sleep but she's not tired, she cant move much and she doesnt really like the tv so she's really moody except when she's being held. i cant do much work in the afternoon and early evening because i have to be in front of her all the time. it gets pretty frustrating and i cant wait til she's old enough to interact with amira so that i can run to the kitchen or fold the clothes before dinner time.
amani's best friend is of course her kakak amira. they sleep at the same time at night, wakes up at the same time in the morning (although amani would continue her sleep until lunchtime), naps at the same time in the afternoon.
amani went for her triple antigen + pneumococcal jabs recently. i was pushing myself into the doctor's clinic to see how much she weighs. and there she was...a whopping 5.7kg at 3 months. she basically puts on 1kg each month, as weights 2.7kg at birth. looking at her, i'm guessing most of her weight is centered at her cheeks and thighs.
