Bring your Baby to work day

Now Katy is getting a little older, she is heaps more resilient when it comes to sleep and travel.

For the first time in ages, we took her to Midlevels last week for a playdate, installing the infant car seat in the taxi. Most people in Hong Kong tend not to use car seats in taxis as it is a little difficult to lug one around. We are now researching what to do now she is getting too big for her infant seat and we no longer have a car. The forward facing seats are HUGE and not quick to instal. However, if we don't have a car seat for her, we will basically be restricted to DB and a walking distance radius around the Ferry Terminal in Central. So it is a bit of a dilemma. Mummy was thinking of doing without until Auntie Lynne, one of Mummy's oldest friends, who happens to be a University Medal winning biomechanical engineer specialising in children car crash injuries threatened to send photos of infants after a 25 km/hr car crash. Gulp!

Anyway, we took Katy in to see Daddy yesterday. She LOVED it! She was so cute and shy initially, Daddy kept asking what was wrong with her as he is not used to having a calm and retiring baby! Then she warmed up and helped Daddy with emails, helped Uncle Jimmy with phone calls, and played Hide And Seek with Daddy and his associates.

Here's that Monkey See game again...

The original monkey...

The world's youngest recruiter shows Uncle Jimmy how it's done.


Mummy isn't the only one who loves buying Katy outfits. This is the first outfit Daddy has gotten Katy. It is a gorgeous Strawberry Shortcake outfit, which reminds us all of Auntie Holly and Cousin Ella! Even better, it is in French! (Charlotte aux Fraises!)

Katy is really enjoying her outings now - she just loves exploring new places and people.

And she has been an absolute star with the car seat. Hopefully, she is really understanding that this is something she has to do when she is in a car. It helps to have food and games and songs ready too though...
