We've shifted!

In preparation for work, we've started implementing the working schedule. Shifted majority of Nat's stuff over to Grandmummy's place. Now that she is there full time ( just in time as daddy has fallen ill over the past few days) grandmummy can finally have a feel of how best to handle her and understand her temperament.

Based on last couple of days of observation, Natalie seems to have slowly adapted to the change of environment. There are so many more new things for her to discover. Just going to the garden alone seems like a mini excursion for her. She has also gotten used to Junior's spontaneous barking. The only concerns which I have are mosquitoes. There are loads of them in the garden and inevitably the rooms. We've turned on the insect killers ( light version) round the clock near her cot. The mosquito net acted as a second barrier. So far I was the only one who has been bitten, not her. Perhaps it's her blood group. The mosquitoes seems to only attack those with A+ blood type. Fortunately Natalie, Mum and Sunarti were apparently not the 'chosen ones' as the mozzies are highly selective of their prey based on blood type!

Sunarti has also gotten her drill back and seems ok with the arrangement of her staying over at grandmummy's on weekdays and following baby back to our place on weekends. She has a new companion when it comes to bedtime - Junior - who has been banned from entering grandmummy's and baby's room. Such a wimp, can't even sleep on his own at night!

So far I have not fully left her alone for grandmummy and sunarti to handle. Foresee she might develop separation anxiety! I read that separation anxiety apex in 6 & 9 months. So far she is already displaying traits of anxiousness when she couldn't find me. She doesn't allow anyone else to put her to bed at night and is starting to reject the bottle and seems rather insistent on what she wants. Anyone has solutions which worked please do share =) ! thanks!
