Updates Again
Mummy's email to Auntie Caris:
Hi Caris,
Hee Hee... actually I'm not back to work yet. Called MOE and they said my date of resumption of duty is 3 Jan 2007. so I think I won't have much pay for Nov and Dec. Good for me too. Can rest for a few more weeks. Good news - I've been posted to Xinmin Primary School! I requested for it because it's really near to my in-law's (3 minutes' walk) and they granted my request. It would be so much more convenient if I work near Beth. Can save on transport cost and time too!
Nathan must be a very chubby boy now. Wah...a mighty 9 kg. Beth's only 8.5 kg now. Must be very tiring to have to carry him around all day. But once he's learnt to crawl, he won't want you to carry him as much already. Beth doesn't want to be carried much now. She's enjoying her freedom and would go wherever she likes. Sometimes, as I busy myself around the house, she would follow me like a little shadow. So cute.
She's learning to stand without support now. Sometimes she would hold on to furniture, stand up, let go of the furniture and try to balance herself. Of course, she can only stand for less than 2 seconds, then she'll be down on the floor again. She especially enjoys it when Granny or Grandpa holds her by the armpit and supports her while she 'walks'. Also getting more social now. Will initiate play (like peekaboo) and understands some words I say, like 'milk', 'mama carry', 'go gai gai', 'porridge', 'sit up', 'clap your hands', 'shake your head' and so on.... Sometimes, when we sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", she would imitate the action by holding up her hands and opening and closing her palms. She surprised me today when she clapped her hands at worship time and shook her head to the beat of the music. Makes me feel that she's praising God in her own way too. One thing I'm really pleased about is that this girl seems to loooooove books, even preferring them over toys. She loves to flip through the books and look at the pictures and also enjoys it when we read to her. She would sit quietly and listen to the story, or use her fingers to touch the pictures. Of course, she loves to chew on her books too. Sometimes, when she's flipping through her books, she would babble in a sing-song manner. Makes me wonder if she's trying to imitate our reading.
Will be bringing Beth to Brisbane next Sunday for tour and visitation. A bit anxious - don't know how she would behave on the 8-hour flight (Thank God it's midnight flight so hopefully she'll sleep throughout), and not sure whether she'll be able to adjust to the new environment and weather. Will be there for 2 weeks. Really looking forward to it! Be back on 18 December. Catch up with you then!
love,
