Infant Care

Faith started to go to the infant care centre yesterday. I was sooooo... relieved and happy to see that she enjoyed herself so much! She was playing and relating to the teachers very well.

She appear to enjoy learning in the new environment a lot. Andrew and I are both glad we decided to put her in the infant care centre instead of at home with a maid or a nanny. The caregivers/teachers at the infant care are very experienced and professionally trained to understand and care for infants.

When she's in the centre, I can trust professionalism of the teachers and regulations by the centre and MCYS; if she's with a nanny or domestic help, I can only rely on luck! I've seen and heard too many cases of babies being mistreated behind closed doors (although there are many good ones around too), I'd rather not bet my 'luck' with my precious little one.

Finally had time this morning to see photos of Faith and I taken by CQ when we were over for their son, Jeremy's first month party. Always like his work...so candid, so natural -- which is the same reason we invited him to be the photographer for our ROM and church wedding...the photos come to life from the emotions he captures. :) Thanks, CQ!

Faith & Mommy (1 month 29 days)

Faith has grown...

Haven't much chance to free myself long enough from Faith to update her blog with new photos. Especially these two nights...she's been very, very cranky. Sometimes there's just too much gas she couldn't get rid of; other times, she's probably over-stimulated by sights and sounds around, I think.

For a two month old, she's doing a lot! Maybe that's why she's kinda stressed up. Not me trying to get her to do a lot though -- SHE is trying to reach out to touch things (yes, already!), look around whenever we get to a new place, stares and tries to register a new face she meets, imitate our mouths and have a 'conversation' with us...etc.

I'm more worried than frustrated whenever she cries non-stop...couldn't un-knot my eyebrows...sometimes I cry with her. :"(

I can't sleep again tonight...because Faith is going to the infant care tomorrow. Don't know how I'm gonna enjoy my day off...I have a feeling I'm gonna miss her more than I can enjoy my days of 'freedom' before I return to work.
