What I've been up to lately

Well, nothing much. :) Resting mostly.

Realised that my last blog was a whole month ago! No wonder I've been constantly nagged at to blog something by P.

The latest news is that our almost-two-year-old has FINALLY reached 10kg! Finally. Her peers are way ahead of course. But as long as she's growing healthily, I've no complaints. At least we are saving our arms and backs!

The whole family and my parents took a 6-day trip to HK. It was rather cold but we were ok when we were warmly clothed. Peen was unwell on a few days of the trip. It was so bad that he had to sit out a night tour that we had booked.

I'm not going to talk about the trip since the pics are up on fb. But just wanted to journal about K since the trip. She really got used to sleeping on the same bed as us in HK, so much so that whenever she woke up these days and didn't find me next to her, she would cry and start calling for me. Oh sigh. There were nights when it happened 3 to 4 times. Double sigh.

K has also gotten alot more talkative since the trip. She was especially fascinated with the different modes of transport that we took. Even this morning, she recalled her experiences on the plane, boat and bus.

"Sit there airplane," she said. "Boat - woah.....bus - woah woah," she continued.

Last week, she initiated a phone conversation with Ah Foh (P's mum). She said, "Phone...Ah Foh." We asked her if she wanted to speak with Ah Foh and she nodded. Needless to say, the grandma was thrilled and thought her granddaughter was a genius. She listened intensely and nodded in response and sometimes replied, "uh." We were amused cos it really looked like she was having a conversation with mum. Then mum asked her what she did in HK. To which she replied, "Boat - woah, bus - woah woah." So she actually did respond to the question!

It's Friday and we are leading up to the celebrations of K's 2nd birthday. But we decided this year to really tone it down. So we will just have a celebration in school for her and a small family gathering.

I've been lazy (and tired) so we are not doing anything major this year. Will blog about her birthday celebrations next week perhaps.
