New frens, New fones, New funs!

Abbey is your sweet 7-year old big sister from the neighbourhood, and Jack is her 4-year brother. Their parents Rob and Vicky have become friends with daddy & mommy and we are all getting along wonderfully well. Mommy or the Tita are over to each other all the time, and me and Rob have been having a drink every now & then. We have plans for this weekend with them, so nice.

Abby has also starred in a Dubai movie - city of life for a wee role (see already the brit is rubbing off on me, not to mention the boss).

Then I got myself a new blackberry and passed off the old one to mommy with a social package - she can now chat or socialize on the bb - facebook and all. She's been busy with it a lot of time since yesterday. And of course darling, you take priority over everything else including that.

Will get your toys this weekend - no not the iphone yet! Moooaaawh!

Late Night Talkies.

The first thing that everybody asks when they know you have a new baby is about sleepless nights. Thankfully Mommy is the one incharge of that department, so I am getting to sleep soundly almost every night.

Fun is when all of us wake up in the middle of the night to entertain each other and talk to you. Soon you'll start to copy the sounds that we make and we'll have a party.

In the business & finances section, we have news. I resigned last week, and the boss said I can't leave. So they've got a bit of monies going for me, and we are richer starting this month. Yay!!

Haeee, Hoowww, Too Months, wooow!!

It was a huge day today - you turning two months, getting vaccinated, checked up and moreover, me and mommy handling it all by ourselves!! Dr. Khaleel, your jolly natured ped, gave us a big thumbs up on the whole thing, and to you on gaining weight really well and being healthy and happy. You weigh 5.6 Kgs and measure a good 55 cms now.

Mommy has been troubled with some hormones or heat related itchiness on body, plus with the bothersome loneliness at home. She has been and loves to be with people. It is a bit scary, but mixing up with the Filipina neighbours is all that she can do here in International City.

Of course when you are awake, it is fun & frolic abound - the haeees and the hooo and hoowws are keeping us super occupied and super happy. No other entertainment needed!

Back Homes

Earlier Grandadi was complaining about the heat back, the small space and the general chaos back home in Jaipur and now it Grananay's turn to settle back home. She's very willing to return immediately given the situation there. Guess it will be some time before she can get settled back in the place that is really all our home.

Or is it? Not so much for you, since you would have spent most of your childhood years abroad, either here or wherever life decides to take us next. But if at all you have to relocate to any of the two countries, wonder how it will really go and how will you be able to settle there. Right now it seems quite unthinkable, but eventually we will have to.

Soon we should be making our first travel to India and Philippines though. Everybody in both countries are waiting to meet with you. More so for the elderly - our beloved Jiyamma, and the Great-Grand Mother that side (Grananay's mom) - who are both at the fag end of affairs and would really love to see you before their onward journeys begin.

Jst u n us...

So she's reached safely, and is surrounded by all your cousins. Mommy is relieved, but missing her tremendously. I will miss her being around, but more I feel sorry for Mommy too. Grannanay while she was here helped us with anything and everything. It was wonderful to have her here, and we thank god for her.

Yesterday was the first evening being alone, and while we had our usual amount of fun, the house felt a lot lonlier. Today's the first day Mommy and you are alone together and it's going to be testing times. She's missing Nanay being around already.. Hope both of us can keep her in a happy mood.
