Baby at 6 weeks old ...

Vanessa went for her 6-in-1 jab on Wednesday and she was quite good - she didn't really cry much except to show her unhappiness at the cold alcohol swab. She also basically did some tricks to make the PD laugh, for example, faking a loud sneeze. She sneezed once, then went "AHHHHHHHHHHHH ... *mm* *zzz*".

We were also commenting on having 2 twirls on her head, which my PD said 2 out of his 4 kids (*gasp*) had them, and yes, they were the naughtier than the remaining 2.

She has gained 6.5cm in length since birth, but she looks she has gained a lot more length than she looks though =) Anyway she's gained some weight and length, she's now 5.06kg and 54.5cm long.

The poor girl developed a fever (38.0C) in the wee hours of Thursday morning, so we gave her 1ml of the medicine which she promptly spat out 1/2ml *sigh* Anyway, she did recovered pretty fast, although her appetite is affected. She's taking only 60ml per feed, not the usual 80ml. I will need to monitor her further to make sure she's OK.
