Brie : 14 Months
Little children grow way too fast!
So here are some quick updates on our littlest little one, while I still can have them all recorded =)
Brie has been the cheerful and friendly type of baby.
She’d smile and scrunch up her nose, even to people she meets on the street.
She’s generally not afraid of strangers.
She’d observe others (eg. How we stir a drink with our straw before drinking it, or how her sister plays with toys) and do exactly the same
(Note: A reminder to even be more careful with my actions and words, and to remind the big sister and brother to be good examples to their littlest sister)
She generally prefers to eat ‘our food’, though these days she doesn’t reject her food as much as before (She can eat plain rice with soup, but not yet able to munch on meat or vegetables just yet, except for steamed carrots and broccoli, which she loves to self-feed)
She loves to play ‘peek a boo’!
She speaks a lot, but still in a ‘language’ we don’t quite understand =)
She generally tells us what she wants by pointing and mumbling something, except when she asks for food, she’d then say ‘Mumm mummm …’, and say ‘Baaa…’ when she waves good bye =)
She walks a lot these days, but still in a ‘baby learning to walk’ style (read: Not yet completely stable)
Just like her big brother Vai when he was first introduced to formula milk, she has her formula spoon-fed, while sitting near the kitchen sink, with hardly anything on, so when she’s done, I’d just pick her up and give her a shower right away
She drinks about 350 – 500ml of formula everyday.
She’s still breastfed and she rejects drinking formula from the bottle or from anything (she’s okay with sipping water from a straw cup). So, just like her big brother Vai when he was first introduced to formula milk, she has her formula spoon-fed, while sitting near the kitchen sink, with hardly anything on, so when she’s done, I’d just pick her up and give her a shower right away (because by then, she has drips of milk all over her face and body!). This seems to be method that works best for her so far.
She still puts things into her mouth (from pebbles, crayons, coins, dirt and our recent discovery, a little snail shell! *Eeewww!*)
I think by now she has developed a stronger body immune system (no wonder!), adapting herself quite well to Jakarta (and its not so clean environment). She’s been healthy for the past 6 weeks and is gaining weight well.
She had her MMR jab last week during our visit to Singapore (no fever afterwards).
She wears size 4 shoes.
…
Our baby Brie has been a treasure in our family.
And we thank God for watching over her every single moment of her life.
Because we know, as much as we’d love to be there for her 24/7, we can’t.

Hi mbak! Welcome to jakarta 🙂
Just curious, anak2mu ndak ada yg susah makan ya? Pintar sekali brie mau brokoli dan wortel
Any tips untuk makan anak2 mbak? Aku berjuang tiap hari untuk urusan makan ini
Kiss for the trio!
Thank you mba Astri buat welcome-nya =)
Wah, anak2 lewatin masa2 susah makan juga koq
Kayanya hampir setiap anak itu ada masa2nya sulit makan deh. Mungkin karena sakit, gigi tumbuh, sedang lewati fase mogok dan ga tertarik makan… macem2 deh.
(tapi ada jg yah yang doyannn bener makan , hehe … )
Anaknya mba sudah umur berapa ya btw? Kesulitannya apa so far yang di hadapi?
Brie kemarin ini (sebenernya sih sekarang jg masih, tapi udah agak sedikit mendingan) susah makan. Ga napsu gitu. Di spit out, di lepeh2, duhh ampun deh pokoknya. Dibawahnya baby chair penuh makanan jato2 … di buang2 sama dia .. akhirnya mau ga mau utk lewatin masa2 ini aku kasih Pediasure deh, biar tetep dapet nutrisi, soalnya makannya dikittt bener. Ga tertarik gitu.
Pas kemarin aku buka mulutnya dan liat, keliatannya itu gara2 ada 2 gigi bagian geraham atas kiri kanan yang numbuh. Nah, kemungkinan besar gara2 itu =) tapi soal makan sayur spt brokoli dan wortel yang sudah dikukus, .. Brie so far sih ok2 ajah
Dari ketiga anak, yang paling susah itu keliatannya si Vai =)
Wah, ga tertarik makan solids dari sejak pertama di introduce solids.
Aku tulis di blog juga, salah satunya disini:

Kalau liat archive yang di masa2 Vai umur dibawah 1 thn dai setelah 1 thn (thn 2007 dan 2008), wah keliatan deh gawatnya dia makan =)
Sampai sekarang makannya suka slowwww … karena bawaannya mau maen =) makan sayur sih mau2 ajah semua … tapi lebih suka maunya ‘milih2’ (tapi kita tetep harusin dia makan apa yang sudah di sediakan, kecuali yang kita tau dia mmg ga doyan banget kaya jamur / tomat =)
Adorable Brie! 😀 I like the little sister observing big sister shot.
hehe … yes, she does it a lot these days!
oh she is such a cutie!!
Thanks Sandra! =) Btw just tried leaving a comment on your latest post (free library post), but somehow it asked for me to login into wordpress account.
Anyway, I thought it’s a great idea (the little free library idea), but somehow it may not be ‘feasible to do’ when one lives in Asia? Could it because of the difference in culture perhaps?
I’d be keen to give the idea a go, say I lived in … Australia =)
Thanks for stopping by & reading my post. i think it will ask you to login to WordPress if you are logged out… i always have my dashboard open when i check other blogs so i don’t have to log in again when commenting…
yes i agree… it can be harder in Asia but there is one in Africa & one in India… so maybe… some day soon?
Hehe I like her cheeky look in the photo taken with you. She’s such a little darling. Praying that Brie stays healthy and strong.
Thanks Susan! And yes, so grateful coz the kids have all been healthy and well for weeks now! Nothing compared to how they were when we first moved here … Hope you guys are well too!
She’s so smiley and cute!
Somehow I wonder, could it because she’s the youngest and usually the youngest is the ‘clown’ in the family? These days, she loves making her sis and bro laugh!
