We've Finally Moved!

We officially became KLites on the 27th of January this year.

KL breathes excitement! Amidst all the spring cleaning and unpacking (100 odd boxes were shipped to us via a freight company), we somehow managed to slot in various events and activities to amuse ourselves. There were lunches, teas and dinners with friends and relatives (Mee Lin, Penny, Kenzin, Andre, Auntie Chong and family, Dato R). There were shopping trips to Plaza Damas, One Utama and Ikea. Nazu and family came visiting. And we even managed to squeeze in a buffet lunch at the Westin to celebrate the full moon of a friend's newborn and a mini birthday celebration for mum at home.

We were baby-sitting Ke-Yin and Kai Yun a few days, so they were around to celebrate granny's birthday too

The last month has indeed been a month of change. Zerlynde has grown to be more particular and fussier, wanting to assert her independence all the time. She wants her milk made in a particular way, only by her mum, the bottle cover must not be removed, the milk must not be too warm, must be made only after she's been tucked in bed covered with her pink blanket, with titi beside her, both underneath a baby gym, etc, etc. She wants to dress herself, refuses any assistance and gets frustrated when the right arm fits into the left sleeve. She wants to make her own milk! She wants to switch on the tv and dvd player by herself. She doesn't want to wear her diapers. She wants her milk in her mickey mouse bottle instead of the regular Avent bottle. She wants to lie down on the mattress downstairs placed in mummy's home office. She wants to sleep beside mummy or titi or in her new toddler's bed, or sometimes in the babycot. She wants her bubble bath all the time. She wants her bedtime story one night Peter Rabbit, another night Snow White. She wants to wear her Winnie the Pooh slipper instead of the butterfly sandals. She wants her Snow White socks. She wants her Elmo t-shirt. She wants her Maisy pyjamas (she doesn't have one!) and so on and so forth.

Zuwern on the other hand, has been such a sweetie. He smiles all the time and is happy as long as he's being held. Most times, he's contented as long as he's got a rattle to play with. He's also started to roll to his side, so we've been careful not to place him too near to the edge of the bed. Having said the above however, I noticed that our Cutie Pie has been slightly more demanding the past week. He is no longer contented merely by being held. He wants us to walkabout while holding him, especially when he is tired. Also, he's started to scream whenever he is displeased.

My career has also taken a sharp turn. After 12 years of life being a regular office-goer, I've finally decided to join the minority few who work from home. No more commuting to and fro work, no more traffic jams. And being with my kids 24 hours a day, apart from bringing me lots of joy, will also bring me many challenges to test my patience.

As for hubby, he had to wave good-bye to his wild bachelor days. Although not yet fully adjusted to being a full time father I suspect, he's definitely happy to come home to his two lovely babies everyday.
