The Unbalanced Libra..

I took so many pictures of Bria over the past few days of the New Year..

So far, my first chinese new year with Bria has been pretty fun, but tiring at the same time. Traveling with a sleepy baby inside the car is easy, but not a fussing and crying one! It can get quite scary when Bria starts wailing non stop when we are inside the car. On one hand, i am so worried her crying will affect K's driving and we will get into an accident. On the other hand, i am also worried she will hurt herself or i will drop her, cause she keep kicking and i have my seat belt on so i cannot move much to soothe her!

But anyway, i still enjoy bringing my baby around to show her off to everyone.. = ) Plus i get to dress her up in all her pretty new year clothes!

On the first day, we went over to K's parents and K's grandma's house. K's uncle came back from the States for the new year, and bought Bria so many branded baby clothes from Calvin Klein, Polo ralph and DKNY. Branded stuff is so cheap in USA.. Hai.. must really go back there again soon..

Before we left the house, K and I tried taking pictures with Bria in the house. It was a really tedious job and both of us ended up perspiring like mad just to take photos with our baby girl.. = )

Initially, it was like this with baby crying like mad:

Then after a while, we managed to soothe her, and then we took this picture:

We headed to my grandma's place after that and Bria slept like a baby when we were there.  Had to wake her up only to have her crying before we could head home, drop her off with C and then proceed with our Valentine's Day dinner..

K and I had western food at Seah Street Deli and talked as if we are on a date. We talked about our secondary school days and friends, how much we had changed, and our ex girlfriend and boyfriends.. not exactly the ideal kind of stuff to talk about on Valentine's Day, i know! = )

On the second day of CNY, we went to K's auntie's house for a sumptuous lunch of mee rebus, fried bee hoon, chicken wings and other good stuff.  I dressed up Bria in her new pink romper dress and pink flower head band.  She looked SO damn cute that day my heart melted every time i looked at her.. K also couldn't stop grinning at her..  I think she also knows she looked really pretty cause her mood was pretty good that day and she kept smiling and making baby noises.. = )

But i got scolding from K's grandma cause she doesn't like me to keep carrying Bria and shaking her in my arms.  She keep asking me to put Bria down and let her play on her own.  But my baby doesn't like to be on her own, and she loves to be cradled!  Sigh.. Can't blame her lah, cause during her time, she has to take care of 5 kids so she definitely don't have hands to carry all of them!

Dinner that day was at my parents' place.  We had my first steamboat that night, and played a few rounds of "In Between" before heading back home for mahjong with EK and S.

On the 3rd day of CNY, i went to my sister's place, and her in law's place in he afternoon.  Played (and won) a few rounds of mahjong before heading to my uncle's place. 

At night, we went to another of K's auntie's house for dinner.  Played more mahjong.  As usual, whenever Bria wakes up, she is the center of attraction. One of K's aunties asked me to give Bria a 30 min lecture every day so she will be a good girl and sleep throughout the night. haha.. i have been trying that so far, and it sort of worked!  Yesterday, she slept for 5 hours, and the night before, 7 hours straight!

Last night, B, EK and S came over for mahjong again.. Baby stayed in the living room with us and played by herself .for nearly half an hour before fussing and going to sleep with all the background mahjong noise.  I think she must be used to it by now. haha..

Andy and his wife just dropped by our house this afternoon to visit Bria.  Their son Brayden is sooo cute!  Think can arrange for him to be Bria's boyfriend when they grow up. = P  I was so busy playing with him and talking that i forgot to take pictures with him. Bria was not too social today, kept fussing.  Think she's too sleepy and tired from waking up at 4am this morning!  She's sleeping now again.. Hopefully she can sleep again tonight!
