Pretty in black

Time really flies when you are juggling a baby with household chores. Routine for the past few days were:

- Wake up 7ish to begin cooking porridge in slow cooker

- Morning feed for chubs and diaper change

- Nap 1 hr+ or BabyTV for Ashley for 1/2 hr max.
- Shower chubs

- MagicKleen and mop the house

- Laundry

- Feed chubs porridge

- Bring chubs over to my parents

- Hang out till Hubs gets back from work

Not much time to rest and the hours were much longer than my office hours! But the hard work is all worth it whenever I see/hear chubs' smiles and chuckles. I also like how she held on to me whenever she felt clingy. But I do miss work. Not that I dislike being with chubs, but I realised I do miss working away from home (note: I only feel this way after landing the new temporary job, definitely didn't feel this way about the last one!). I do miss the interaction I have with other people (i.e. my colleagues) besides my family members during the day. It makes me feel ... connected in a way. Anyways! I digress.

Got a pleasant surprise visit from XY - she came armed with a 20pc Nuggets meal just for me. So sweet of her! Well, of course her main aim for the visit is our dear little chubs! She missed chubs so much she decided to pop by for a visit. Chubs has recently learnt a new command - "tang tang" (which means 'lie down' in Mandarin) and we managed to capture a shot of her doing that on me.

Pictures of the day to follow:

Munching Gerber's at my parents'

Changed chubs after XY left and brought her over to my parents'. Changed her into this black tee-shirt my sis gave - the same design as the white tee-shirt in the first collage. What's special about this is, this is the very first time that my chubs is dressed in black! My MIL mentioned she doesn't like babies to wear black because it doesn't flatter them or something along that line and has not let her wear any black tops or bottoms till now. Saw this tee-shirt lying at the bottom of chubs' drawer and I thought, "Heck, why not??" I think she looked super cute, fair and pretty in black! Note to self: incorporate more black into her wardrobe :)
