New Name New Sibling

I think I should change the name of this blog to Sam & Olive TV. Or something better. I need somewhere to dump ideas longer than a FaceBook post before I forget them. Time to try blogging again.

So, now we have Olive. Olive is three months old. Her 100 days 'birthday' will be the 3rd January. Tanya started work again on 19th December and so far has managed to express milk and breastfeed 100%. I'm not self righteous about that as far as other people are concerned, but it's such an utter pain and so tiring that I have to make it really important so that there is no question for me about just doing it. Did you know babies who breastfeed have measurably higher health and IQ?


Things Olive likes:
Changing her clothes
Being a nudist, especially no nappy
Leaving the house
Looking out at things while being carried around
Taking a bath with splashing
Looking at her brother
Looking at people
Lying in her baby playground and hitting the zebra
Kicking and grabbing krokka the crocodile
Talking like a croaky bird
Putting her feet on her daddy's face
Putting her feet on her mummy's boobs
Sleeping at night (yay!)
Walking through HK at night and watching the lights
Parties
People calling her 'Marite' in Latvian or 'Junyi' in Korean
Listening to Haraboji

Things Olive dislikes:
Loud sneezes
A wet nappy
Speeches, especially the clapping
Tanya drinking red wine or eating bread
Breastmilk coming too slowly
Using the fancy Medela nipple when she's already hungry
Being tired and hungry at the same time
Staying in the same room for too long
Being hungry

Olive likes more things than she dislikes, which makes her a nice person to be around most of the time.
