0630 - lunch outing with baby gemma

in just a few months i hv become, first 姨媽 with the birth of my sister's son brandon, then 舅母 with the birth of michael's sister's little girl gemma. personally i hesitate a bit with the title of 姨媽, it just sounds older. and here i m in indianapolis to try to be a 舅母 and see if it feels any younger :)

the routine for this week is to take baby gemma out with us for lunch to different places, so she can get to see & feel more of this world.

according to the mother, this little creature is typed "active baby", as she is always very restless. she wakes up around 5am, afternoon nap will only last around 1 hr, then she doesn't sleep until 1am! and during her waking hours, she demands to be carried AND walked around 80% of the time. against her will, the scream will start. and once her wish is granted, the fake cry stops right away and you can see that "winner" look in her eyes. no kidding! we gather that maybe she is born to a genius dad who finishes uni at 15 and PhD at 25. so the brainwork just starts a bit earlier than most of us.

but she does enligthen everyone's lives, esp that of her grandparents. so 芝麻小姐, you win!

Baby Victoria is the same... she would make noises to attract your attention and then demand you to carry her.

She's recently learn to flip and it is almost impossible to get her to go to sleep unless she's tired. Even then we would have to hold her until she falls asleep then we slam dunk her in the crib.

BBV is almost full term at 39 weeks at birth, is Gemma similar?
