Home Alone With Ashley 1 - Part 2

Second week home alone with Ashley.

SP & BW visited us Saturday. We took Ashley out to the park near by. Have heard the nanny mentioned that Ashley loves the swing at the playground in the park. I didn't believe that small baby like Ashley can actually sit on the swing and enjoys it. So we went straight to the swing and put Ashley on. It was true, Ashley held on the handle bar, her legs kicked around every time we pushed the swing. She really truly enjoyed it. Afterwards, we sat around on the beach towel on the grass in the shade. Ashley curiously looked around, rolled around on the beach towel and seemed to enjoy being outdoor. We should definitely take her out more, there are so many new things she needs to learn.

Later on, PK showed up with her daughter Cerisa. PK and I had the same due date and Cerisa was born 3 days earlier than Ashley. They played together a bit. Ashley grabbed Cerisa's toy and vice versa, and both immediately put the toys in their mouths. Although these 2 girls are the same age, but they grow at their own different pace. It's always nice to let Ashley hangs out with someone her own age. I wonder if she's bored of having adults around her all the time.

Today is such a hot day. NQ showed up to help and we decided to take Ashley to have some pearl tea. We ordered some drinks and snacks, sat around and chatted in the sunny Sunday afternoon. Ashley continued to look around checking out the new surroundings, and played with her toys. At home, I put Ashley on the sofa sitting up next to me while I was on the laptop and gave her some toys. She just sat around, played with her toys in content. No fuzziness, no crying, no screaming, she is truly an angel.

It seems things are easier this week. Not sure if it's because I get more used to it or it is because I got visitors? 1 more week to go.
