No more holidays!

Back to the grind today after 9 days of holidays. The week went by so fast. :( As the weather was extremely hot, we did not go anywhere, but still managed to get a few major things done:

Finally purchased the new car seat for Harvynna. Got her the booster seat from GRACO after much shopping around. There aren’t many choices around for booster seats. Only Chicco, Maxi Cosi and Graco have it and with limited choices. Unfortunately, Harvynna does not seem to like the seat. It could be the seat is not as comfy as her previous seat as it is meant for a 3 year old or maybe she has been too used to not seating in her seat for the past one week and got used to her freedom. The poor gal cries all the way to her babysitters place - had to bribe her with food this morning to get her to sit in it.

Bought a new fridge. Looks good. Need a really good freezer to store the breast milk for the new baby and can freeze some food for Harvynna so I won’t have to cook for her every weekend.

Went for my 28th week prenatal check – up. Almost forgot about the appointment till the hospital called the house!! Luckily Harvynna was all ready as she had her bath early. Got her dressed up in her new sam-fu.(from Bangsar Village) Looks really cute but she kept trying to pull out the buttons. Since it was Chinese New Year Eve, we managed to reach DHS in 15 minutes. Baby is doing well has turned to the head down position. The dr said it may still turn over the next few weeks. Next visit is in 3 weeks time.


Some new developments on Harvynna

· Can finally say her name in full instead of Aina or Ana!

· Can insists on what she wants e.g. ‘ I want jelly now!. She says ‘I want…. for what she wants’

· Can say umbella instead of aluwar!!

· Loves playing with simple jigsaw puzzles (the big type) and can piece them together

· Have trained her to be my spokesperson, hehe – if daddy comes home late, she says. ’daddy – so LATE!!!!’……….., if daddy drives too fast, she says ‘ Daddy, dive poperly’ and if daddy talks nonsense, she says ‘ Daddy, no talk wubbish’.
Hehe, smart mummy!!

· Speaking of wubbish, Harvynna speaks her own nonsense now, she will purposely use nonsense words when we ask her things and she will give that cheeky look and laugh. I guess she gets irritated when we keep asking her questions.

· She has become mummy’s little helper. After washing clothes, she will take all the clothes into a pail, give mummy the hangers, and hang them on the clothes line. After that she puts the pail back in the room. Since it is harder for me to bend down, she will pick the clothes from the laundry basket and give them to me one by one. Ha, the joy of having a girl!

Sent her to the babysitters this morning and she cried and cried. After 9 whole days of ‘mummy time’, she has to get back to routine again. Poor thing. Broke my heart to drive off, but as usual, I was running late to work.
