Another quiet weekend of the usual activities – the visit by The Minton construction site and posting onto the Facebook page to keep residents posted on its developmental progress, going by the family home to let grandparents catch-up with the grandkids, late morning brunches for all of us, and the round of grocery shopping with Daddy pulling chef duties over the weekend.
Going out with a 2 month old baby boy is a real logistic challenge each time, but we’re getting our routine down for sure. Fortunately too, there’s been no major mishaps from Peter too, who’s usually been contended to sleep in his pram whenever we head out. Probably has to do with how Ling has been timing his feeds too – whenever we’re out, it’s only after he’s been well-fed and burped.=)
One photo that has become a bit of our family custom is the “All Hands” picture, where all of us in the family put our hands together to hold the newborn. I first did a shot like this at the hospital right when Hannah was born 4 years ago:
It’s normally not easy to get shots like this of course, what with babies being fidgety and not really able to place their hands in the right posture. When Peter was born two months ago, I tried to take the same pictures again at the hospital when Hannah came to visit with grandparents. No such luck then. We finally got one such moment yesterday evening, with Peter semi-half-asleep and supposedly compliant too.
Still not as easy, as it took several tries for Hannah to curve her fingers slightly, and Peter kept pulling his hand away. Still, the picture above was the best-composed of the lot – the rest of them look like a bloopers reel!
