Merry Christmas!

This year was Harvynna's second Christmas. As I was sorting out her first year photos, I noticed that Harvynna looked so different during her first Christmas - she was chubbier and had much shorter hair. (we have not cut her hair since she was born except for her fringe; dont wanna lose her baby curls) She hadn't started walking yet and was cruising and crawling everywhere.

Harvynna turned over late - when she was almost 5-6 months. (probably due to her weight). After that she caught up at top speed, she sat up unsupported at 61/2 months, started crawling at 7 1/2 - 8 months, standing and 8 1/2 months, cruising at 9 months and walking at 10 months.

At 20 months now, she is talking in phrases and can say a few Tamil words as well!, running all over the house and ordering people around.

Back to the Christmas story......

As we arrived in Melaka only late Saturday evening, we took her out for dinner and later went to the 'Sampan' for a drink. HArvynna was already tired out and was getting quite restless and asking everyone to 'Go away!'

There was one of those mechanical Santa Claus at the entrance and she was so mesmerized by it that she refused to leave and kept asking to go back to her 'Sanka kos'.It was a dancing Santa Claus and she kept saying' Sanka kos dance' and danced with him. When we left the Sampan, she kept crying out for her 'Sanka kos'. As she felt asleep in the car, we could not open her presents that night.

The next day, on Christmas day, we took her to the Renaissance hotel for Christmas lunch as Mummy was craving for Turkey and xmas pudding. The place was well decorated, and Harvynna was so happy to meet the Real Sanka Kos. She was even more impressed with him as he gave her sweets. After that it was, 'Sanka kos give sweet ' repeatedly. Looks like she has overcome her fear of Santa.
