Ten months old

Emma hit the 8kg mark finally. I haven't really been weighing her as much as before. I figured that she is eating well (yes, lumpy, age appropriate food like pasta, bread and porridge ), growing well (teeth coming out, eyes bright, can crawl forward quickly, can stand unassisted for a short while, respond to action requests like "bye!" etc, there isn't any cause for concern.

I took some time the other day to teach her that she can pick up the delicious geber puffs with her fingers and place them in her mouth. She finally did it!

Toilet training has been smooth so far, when we see her face turn pink and she makes the em! Em! sounds, we bring her to the potty. Otherwise, we just put heron the potty routinely after breaky.

Emma loves swimming so when ever I get the chance, I will bring her into the water with her neck float. Last Sat, I got invited by a good friend, Theresia, to the Raffles Town club spa suite! Wonderful hotel room with a jacuzzi in the room! Travis n Emma had a lot if fun in the warm tub! She wasn't afraid of the bubbles from the jacuzzi either!

Watch her as she grows! hoping that I can complete her First year photobook by her birthday in Jan.

Emma slept in her own room last night

Emma has been sleeping in our room (in her cot) fo ten months. Once she is asleep, we have to open the door carefully, tip toe to grab our stuff and close the door behind us silently. Lead we n I can't even use our own attached bathroom for showers. We have been using Travis' bathroom th last ten months! Lol!

It was time to RECLAIM our bedroom. I moved Emma's cot into the last bedroom in the house last evening. I put her in the cot and she rolled around in it happily. I left the room and closed th door behind me. No sound from Emma. Fiv minutes later, I stood outside the door to listen in. Silence.

And so she slept there for the night!

And since Travis slept in his own room as well, lead we and I could watch TV in our room again for the first time in many months!

Bliss!!!
