Kid monster!

I am a sweet and calm angel when I have
 a full tummy and clean diaper

Rian has come up with so many nicknames for the little one already. When I was pregnant, we've been calling her baby tigger (born in tiger year). After she was born, we usually call her baby, baby girl, baby ellie, sweetie, sweetheart... Now her nicknames aren't that sweet anymore.. =P

Hey kid monster!

I like calling her kid monster - rian came up with the name (and many variations of that, like poop monster, pee pee monster, pocket monster), and I think it fits her very much, especially during the feeding time.

Waking in the middle of the night trying to feed her, I place her on my boppy pillow with my eyes half-opened. Then her cries will stop and she would open up her big eyes and her little mouth. She would keep turning her head left and right searching for the food source, while licking her lips and sometimes making the "tsk tsk..." sound. And then in my mind, I would mentally prepare for the latching pain and tell myself, "ok - she is going to bite me now, breath, breath, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Well - to me this is pretty "monstrous"! I still love my kid monster though. She is probably the cutest monster ever (of course she is cuter than any pokemons!) if there is such a thing =)

a little upset during diaper change

Another nickname Rian likes to use is "poop foot". Why? Because she would occasionally got *really* mad when daddy changes her poopie diaper (usually when she is hungry). She would cry really loud and move her arms and legs uncontrollably - and occasionally, her tiny feet would end up being stuck inside the poopie diaper... and hence the name "poop foot". Haha! I found this name very funny ;-)
