The one-handed manoeuvre

Baby Helene is exactly 8 months old today. She sticks like a little koala to me, so much so that one morning when I woke up extra early (Hubby was still asleep with the other two), I literally had to do everything with one hand. Brush my teeth, wear my contacts, pack my bag etc. I used one hand while the other hand carried her on my hip. Let's hope she learns to entertain herself soon enough, like her Heidi Jie Jie because the bigger she gets, the harder it will be to pull off the one hand manoeuvre.

She can now sit up steadily, roll over both sides and has an immensely healthy appetite lol. Her nanny says she has porridge twice a day (sometimes substituted with organic baby oats), and even after porridge, she must have milk or else she won't be satisfied. She can eat 2 bananas a day, sometimes mixed in her oats. Her porridge has carrots, pumpkin and other mushy vegetables which are easy to digest. Now that she's 8 months, we also give her little bites of bread, biscuits and the other day, she had a teeny weensy taste of vanilla ice cream, which she loved and kept licking her lips haha.

Here are some pictures of the little cutie pie with her dimply smiles:


She is also starting to have teeth, and two little ones are growing at the bottom, but they are not visible yet. It makes her drool a lot though, I posted this photo on The Breastfeeding Advocates Network with the caption "Mummy's milk is so yummy it makes me drool!" Lol

New outfit which her nanny bought for her: 




 We took her to Youth Park the other day and she was so excited to see all the other children running around, especially Hannah and Heidi. Not long now before you can join them, Helene!
