Elena - week 22
This was the first week I was back at work, and boy, did I miss my darling girl so! I looked forward to going home every day, and seeing her smile at me when I reach home really melts away any tiredness I feel!

Although I’m away during the daytime, I still have some funny stories to tell!
Hubby was away one night, and I let Elena sleep with me on the bed (actually, I really miss having her next to me at night!). I was extremely sleepy but she still wanted to ‘talk’. In the end, I decided to switch off the light and see if she would go to sleep by herself. I was lying on my side facing her, and she turned towards me and used her hand to lightly touch and feel my face. When I didn’t respond, she used her fingers to scratch my face a couple of times. And when she still didn’t get any response from me….guess what she did? She punched me right in the nose with her fist!!! No kidding! And she must’ve felt so satisfied after that coz she straightaway fell asleep soon after…
She’s also on the verge of flipping…she has now accomplished a half turn and is quite adept at lying on her side with her whole body twisted like a pretzel. Soon…soon….

She’s also able to grip both sides of her sippy cup for a short while…although getting it into her mouth is a hit and miss affair most of the time…

I find that I now have even less time to myself nowadays as the night time is mostly spent playing and talking to Elena. I only have time to blog when she’s asleep, like now…however, I really hope I can keep this weekly update going! Time passes so fast, and in a blink of an eye, she’s already 5 months old. Like I told hubby…I’m looking forward to seeing her grow up yet at the same time, I wish she wouldn’t grow up so fast…sigh…
