Busy Day
Dearest Nat,
We had a really busy day yesterday. We woke up together at 11 am and mommy was rushing like mad to get you ready to leave the house asap to make it in time to have lunch with your Daddy. I know your Daddy loves seeing you so I always try to bring you to have lunch with him to cheer him up. Your poor Daddy has a very stressful job.
By the time we reached the food center, lunch hour was almost over. The taxi driver took us for a ride by going the Stevens Rd route instead of AYE. We stopped at so many traffic lights and wasted so much time in the heavy traffic. Next time, I shall insist that they go by AYE!!!
Daddy was happy to see you and you were very happy to see Daddy too. You were smiling away and attracted the attention of many uncles and aunties at the stalls. We were feeling a little funny by the attention you were getting. Guess it's not very common to see a baby during lunch hour at CBD area.
After meeting your Daddy, we went to Plaza Singapura to wait for Auntie Rachel and Ryan. Uncle Rapheal is at work so he couldn't meet us. We had tea at Secret Recipe. While waiting for Auntie Rachel, I slinged you around and tried to let you sleep. You fell asleep in my sling and didn't wake up until I almost finished my late lunch.
Looking at Ryan, Mommy can't wait for you to grow up quickly so that you can run around like him! Of course at the same time, I don't want you to grow up too quickly so that I can always cuddle you in my arms. I guess in a few more months, you'll know how to play with Ryan. I know you are very attracted by kids, your eyes will follow them like how you look at Cousin Alvin and Matthew last Saturday when they were playing.
Auntie Rachel drove us to Takashimaya after tea. We went to Kinokuniya to look for a book on baby's food. Yes! You're going to start your solids in a few months time! We went over to Paragon to wait for your Daddy after that and had dinner together at Sushi Tei. Mommy is going to become really fat at the rate I'm eating. Gosh!
Something funny happened lastnite. Daddy was looking after you while I took my shower. When I came out from the bathroom, I heard Daddy laughing out aloud saying "So cute! Come quickly!" at the sofa so I quickly went over. I saw you laughing out LOUD! The louder your Daddy laughed, the louder you tried to laugh. We were so amused by you!!! I think you laughed too hard and became really tired coz after a short while, you wanted to nurse again. This is the first time we hear you laughing out loud! You're so cute, my darling!
Alright, mommy has to go and peek at you now. Almost time for you to wake up.
Love,
Mommy
