21 July 2022 – Pinku is 5 months 22 days old

Today Pinku had 2 meals. We gave her some steamed baby marrow for lunch and steamed patty pans for dinner.

She is sleeping soundly in my arms as I am typing this post.

I am thinking to start writing daily – sort of like keeping a diary of Pinku and other stuffs going on in our life.

Workwise: we are still working from home (so grateful for that) and it can get a bit hectic but we are trying to catch up after hours.

[ Vic:- Yes, it’s very hectic at times, I’m trying to balance UAT support, SIT and DEV deliverables, team lead responsibilities, the automation design and coding, and everyone else that’s reaching out for info etc during the day. But I don’t mind doing it, I love the challenges, the pay, and especially the ability to work from home and enjoy the flexibility that comes with that. ]

House: It is difficult to keep the house as tidy we would like. We are doing what we can and it’s okay. Today I folded and washed some clothes, and Vic washed the door on the patio where some oil had splashed on top of our day to day chores (cooking and washing dishes)

Pinku: She loves playing peek-a-boo. She loves exploring and loves it when Vic takes her around the house. She loves being with us. She has started using a baby walker since last week and she likes it. She will stay in it for 15-20 minutes. She likes exploring the house on her own.

[ Vic: She doesn’t really like tummy time, but she loves walking and running around while I support her, so I thought I’d try to teach her to start sitting up while I support her. She did very well, she managed to sit by herself for a little bit. I’ll continue with that exercise. And, I think the approach we took to get her used to baths is also working, she seemed more comfortable to get closer to the water today. ]
