Carly on Holiday

In preparation for our big trip back to Seattle in September, we decided to do a mini trip to Koh Samui in Thailand back in July when she was 2.5 months old. Like all new parents, we have this unspoken fear that ours will be the demon child on the plane and everyone else on the plane will be giving us the evil eye.
No doubt the 1.5 hour flight to Koh Samui is a piece of cake compared to the trip to the States but nevertheless it gave us a greater sense of confidence for the next trip. We made sure she was sucking on something when the plane was going up and down - and it did the trick. Ours was angel Carly versus the other little demon child behind! :)
As for the holiday itself, we rented a nice villa and didnt venture out too much. Carly didnt fare too well in the heat and had heat rash so we had to keep the a/c running in the villa. It was also the first time we took her swimming. For the most part she liked it except when mummy and daddy tried to wake her up for her nap and get her to the pool before the sun got too hot.... BAD IDEA!! What in the world were we thinking???









Here's a pic of daddy slathering the sunblock on Carly. More pics at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=60040&l=3ac53&id=574260265

Carly at One Month

Its been a very long time since we have made a post. We'll use the only excuse we have - New parents sleep whenever they get a chance!
Time flies - Carly is almost 3.5 months old now and weights in at over 16 pounds (7.5kg). She is hitting all the milestones and has managed to turn onto her belly...woohoo!! Looks wise - she is definitely looking more Asian but still has Daddy's fairer skin. Mixed babies always draw comments in Singapore and one minute we will hear "Oh she looks more western" and the next "Oh she definitely looks more Asian". We figure that's going to continue for a while.

Here's a shot of her at one month.
