My apologies for the tardiness in blogging! Work has been dreadfully busy, due in most part because of changed responsibilities at work. Over the last two days I’ve been trying to make up for all the lost time I’ve not been taking pictures and writing about Hannah, upon realizing that each day she grows without us keeping a memory of it is an opportunity lost.
Hannah’s certainly undergoing many changes. She, increasingly, wants her way and with her growing physical size and strength, isn’t disposed against pushing the both of us away when she wants one thing or another! For instance, she used to be perfectly happy to sit on her own when we had dinner in the living room. These days, she’ll insist on sitting on Ling’s lap, and will raise a terrible din when we don’t let her (Mommy needs to eat too).
Thankfully, she still loves spending time with the both of us. Words like ‘read read’ are a trigger point for her, and when we let her know we’re going to take time to read to her, she’ll immediately brighten up, and bring us one of her books.
Hannah’s been also experiencing difficulties sleeping at night with the mosquito net. The instant the net comes down, she’ll holler. We’ve been getting by only because the both of us take turns to sit beside her cot, sing, play with her until she feels secure enough to go to bed. We sure hope it’s just a passing phase, though if not, at least I’ve been able to get Hannah to sleep much easier than Ling (Ling snorts in response that so therefore, Daddy should put her to bed more often!).
Wow love hannah’s yellow chair! The table looks like it’s frm ikea but haven’t seen e chair before. Where did u buy it from? Is it just the right height for hannah’s age?
Hi LisaC,
You’re right that the table is from Ikea. We bought a chair of the same range from Ikea too but it was slightly too high for her; there was a risk of her toppling it when trying to get onto the Ikea chair.
That yellow chair in the photo is *surprise surprise* from NTUC. I bought it from NTUC Xtra at Hougang Point. I think only those large NTUC branches with a furniture section will carry it. It comes with a good range of colours. And there’s a matching table too. The chair is only $9.90, so much more cheaper than the Ikea chair. And it is strong and sturdy. :)
Oh my frm ntuc extra??! I think it looks so much better than e ikea range of chairs which I find quite disproportionate n ugly. A pity we don’t have an ntuc xtra nearby. :( but thanks so much for sharing ur info abt e good buy!
You’re very welcomed, LisaC :D
