Since you last read, Hupps has now returned back to Singa for work purposes, to finalise home stuff and to see his new nephew Titus (“Hello Baby Titus, Welcome into this world!)….

When we arrived in UK, we couldn’t find goat’s milk powder, so decided to give Chloe cow’s milk (just to try again – I mean, the cow’s may be different here, in comparison to Singa and it may not give her an allergy!?!??).. Anyways, she ended up having a full blown eczema attack on her face! So off to the doc it was… and eventually found fresh goat’s milk for her to drink… Then a few days before Hupps left, Chloe started coughing – we were not too sure if it was an allergy or a cold or what – as it’s hayfever season here! We Decided to wait for a few days to assess the situation…

The day Hupps flew was one of the most hectic-est (if there’s such a word) day for a long time! Chloe’s cough was getting severe, esp at night, so decided to take her to see the docs (the morning of the flight)… Didn’t think I’d be waiting long as I had arrived at 8am and there were only 4 people in front of me… Hupps stayed at home to finalise stuff… Oh man…. I basically waited until 10am to see the doc… That’s like 30 mins per patient!!! Hupps popped into the surgery to see us briefly, as his coach was 10-something am….

Got home with Chloe and received a letter from the hospital who needed some info urgently (actually, that particular day)!! Tried to access it via home’s internet/computer – no luck, as the internet kept crashing… Tried an internet cafe and still couldn’t retrieve the info.. Oh man! In the end, had to provide whatever info I had and could retrieve to the hospital…. Was on a tight schedule as Dad was cooking cos it was Anais’ 1st birthday that day and he wanted all of us to be at the table for lunch!

Mum drove me to the hospital for the emergency appt, Chloe was with Snk and Anais (bearing in mind that this was officially Chloe’s first day to see them in yonks, she was well behaved!), Dad cooked…. All in all, the lunch started at 3pm!!! Oops…. Then it was off to Victoria Park to play with the kids…

Happy 1st Birthday Anais….

Hupps has only left for 3 days and it already feels like ages! And so much has happened…

-Chloe, after observing Anais, can now poo and wee on the adult toilet!! Yay!!! Ofcos, she still can’t tell me herself… but it’s a good start… Bye bye potty!

-Chloe can now get off the bed and chairs herself… She sits at the edge, turns her body, lets her legs dangle whilst she holds on and then lets go!
-Chloe is now starting to use ‘resources’ to help her climb up things (bed)… like toys, stools, books…
-Chloe is dribbling again and more fussy – teething issues (bad for mummy!)
-Chloe’s chest infection and eczema is recovering fast
-Chloe’s routine of naps and bedtime are great
-Surprisingly, Chloe doesn’t have a big issue with unfamiliar faces here, compared to in Singa… Here, she doesn’t cause a fuss when being held by someone!!! Which is fab for me!!!

Today is Anais’ bday party, so update you more laters
