Our little girl is getting to be sooooo manja nowadays. She is still primarily breastfed (and yes I am still pumping at work) and today I would like to share the story of how she shows her manja-ness and her down-time with me.
Everyday when I get back from work, she will scramble from wherever or whatever she’s doing and walk/crawl fast towards me and lift up her hands for me to pick her up. Likewise if she’s being carried by anyone else, she will put out her hands for me. I will usually lead her to play with her toys or bring her for jalan-jalan or something. And after some time, she will again put out her hands for me to carry her and she will whine while pulling at my shirt. This is usually the signal that she wants to breastfeed. I will then take her to the bed and open you-know-what.
This is the funny part. Unless it’s her bed-time and she’s really tired, she just won’t lay still. She will take a swig, turn herself around, somehow clamber out of my hug and crawl or walk away. She will go to some other parts of the bed, play a while, and you would think she’s done with feeding. But noooo. She won’t allow me to put her ‘pacifier’ away just yet. Every once in a while she will crawl back to me, and drop her whole body on mine some way and direction or the other and suck for a while again before moving away. She can do this more than 10 times!!! I call it freestyle-nursing. Of course it hurts as she pulls in all directions hahaha but then it is just soooo cute to watch and ‘layan’. She will ‘tonggeng’ lah, lie down la, sometimes just stay on all fours, sometimes she will just sit and bend down to suck. I will just keep up with her until I get tired and then I just get up and put it away lah hahahaha. She will keep doing it till she’s bored of the bed and whine to be let down to play with some other things.
Of course I can’t put any pictures of the action right hahahaha but I just wanna put this down for my own remembrance.
Yesterday she did something new. Both hubbs and myself was lying down on the bed and she was in the middle. We asked her to ’sayang’ us (which she usually does by putting her open mouth over our cheeks and lick or just lay it there for a while) but this time she does it differently. She went back and forth between the 2 of us and put her open mouth over our noses instead!!! Hahahaha this is just way too funny. She does it nonchalantly and even lick at times. No matter how we turn our faces and point to our cheeks, she will still go for the nose and leave it wet with her nice-smelling saliva hahaha. Very very cheeky girl!!!
Damn am I gonna miss all this when she weans off. My cute little ‘manja’ girl. One day, she will outgrow this phase and not want to have any down-times with us anymore. *sigh*
I know what you mean (the freestyle nursing thingie) Sometimes I wish my ‘you know what’ is like long hoses.. or at least elastic, maybe then it won’t be THAT painful. No one has ever told me that something like this can happen with breastfed babies. I find it really funny and cute too. I’m sooo gonna be crushed the day I stop breastfeeding.
hun, i get so jealous reading about kiddies who are still breastfed! breastfeeding is indeed a miraculous and memorable journey. i miss it ridiculously! but u know what, the bond’ll change when she’s weaned off, but the closeness is forever there, insyaallah ;)
haha yazid does the ‘freestyle’ nursing too. it is funny but sometimes can be a tad painful (not to mention annoying haha). but complain2 pun i know i’ll miss it terribly once it’s over… :(
thats a lovely photo of you and ayra. :)
what a sweet picture. haha i kinda miss those ‘ganas2′ bf session with nunu. she started doing this when she was about 7 or 8 months. Moms should really talk about this topic more often laah, takde lah nanti first time moms tergezut badak when their kids start acting like this.
awww like BB,i’m jealous too.how i wish i could BF as long as you guys!! in a way,BF does tend to make your kid more manja also kan,in a goodway of course :)
the last photo of u n ayra is so adorable, especially the way she leans her head on you. pity all those women out there who has never had babies!
