As mum puts it, Hannah\u2019s starting to \u2018recognize\u2019 faces, and with that she\u2019s also started fussing about who gets to carry or burp her. E.g. she used to be alright having me burp her after a feed, but since the last week she protests loudly when I try to do the same. And for the first time since Hannah\u2019s birth, mum had difficulty feeding Hannah even when we dropped her off at Lentor yesterday morning. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2009-baby-IMG_0070-wesley\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2009-baby-IMG_0070-wesley\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/blog2009babyIMG_0070wesley.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2009-baby-IMG_0074-wesley\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2009-baby-IMG_0074-wesley\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/blog2009babyIMG_0074wesley.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/>&#160;&#160; <\/p>\n<p>This morning at service she all but remained still too, alternating between fussing and grumbling \u2013 so much so that Ling had to bring her to the cry room lest she made a louder din than all the other babies and children that was sitting at the last few rows of the Sanctuary.
