Topsy turvy Lyra

Lyra has adjusted to the infant care... hooray! Now, she will smile, laugh and chat with the teachers. She is a chatter-box and loves to have people parked right in front of her yakking away. Typical girl... I can see exploding phone bills in future. And there must be eye-to-eye contact when you chat with her or she will protest.

She is quite amazing. She is only 2 months and 3 weeks but her development surpasses the norm. Already, she is able to lift her upper body up on her arms and is able to turn from her front to her back. Lucas could do all these only when he was about 3-4 months and that was considered fast! We found that she could flip on one of the weekends when I distinctively remembered putting her on her tummy only to find her on her back a few minutes later. Sometimes, she shocks herself awake at night cos she turned from her favourite tummy pose to her back. After which she will wake up the entire neighbourhood (except Vinc) with her wails

Compared to some of the other infants I have seen, she is really very responsive; definitely not a 'gong kia'. :) I think in a year or so, I'll have my hands full with 2 fiery tempered and equally stubborn kids. And I think Lucas and Lyra are equally matched... ... although I suspect Lucas will probably be at the losing end in most battles. Not because he is weaker but because he is tough on the outside and a softie on the inside. He will probably give in to mei-mei and kick himself for it. Sigh,... ... I really love the 2 of them to bits... ...
