Smiley baby

Rowena has become a real smiley baby. The moment you give her any attention or talk to her, she smiles happily. The funny thing is she seems to find my face amusing. Whenever, she looks at me, she will smile continuosly which looks more like she is laughing. Hmmm.

We took her to the Paed the other day as Harvynna was down with the flu (again) and Rowena had a bit of the sniffles. She found the whole adventure funny and was smiling throughout the visit to the dr.

The poor girl has a bad case of cradle cap. Have been putting olive oil to remove it but has not really improved. The worse part is, her hair seems to fall off when removing the cradle cap. Poor gal! Harvynna keeps telling everyone, ‘Rowena got dry skin’ and points to her cradle cap.

I don’t know why but Rowena has extra sensitive skin – prone to heat rash, nappy rash and the cradle cap. Must have been the junk I ate while I was pregnant with her.

On another note, Harvynna turned 27 months yesterday. She has really matured since Rowena’s birth. She has moved to her own room but of late keeps coming back to our room with the excuse, ‘I am coughing’, ‘ I sick’.

She tries to mimic me by reading to Rowena and showing her bright coloured objects. She will sit by Rowena’s side and tell her ’Look Rowena’. She is still very possessive when strangers try to carry Rowena. ‘ This one my Rowena’ and screams.

It’s easy to forget that Harvynna is still a baby and needs to be pampered ever since Rowena came along. We expect her to be more matured and behave more grown up, when in fact she is still our little baby.
