a lot of catching up!

we have lots of catching up to do! it's been more than a month since i last wrote. have been busy setting up our new place back in KL and most importantly, was blinded without internet for the last month!

rach has grown up loads. and she's now 11 months! not much heavier, as she seems to be getting skinnier, but taller (i hope). greatest thing about coming back to KL is....more people in rach's life! great!

rach has yet to learn how to walk....but she can stand quite steadily on her own now. am trying to wean her off my breasts, and that's taking loads of effort and tears (from both rach and I)...

we have shifted into our new house, and rach now has her own corner, with her ABC mat. would have to take some pics of that soon.... the house is definitely VERY much bigger than our apartment back in edinburgh....so, rach gets more place to roam. a lot of new "big-people" toys for her as well...such as our new washing machine, new fridge (her favourite - maybe coz of the cold air) and also the new thermal pot (unplugged, of course)
forgot to mention one important activity.....her climbing stairs....she still does it lovingly...and now, she knows how to descend as well!!!! but i need to talk her through it all the time....like this...
