From a distance.........

China. Land of Business Opportunities. Also the most populated state in the world, with over 1.3 mil citizens. The country covers approximately 9.6 million square kilometers (3.7 million square miles). It is the world's second largest country by land area. 

Beijing, also known as Peking, is the capital of China. Most populated area, home to many world renown companies.

Luther was 45 days old (abt 2.5months) when my hubby need to go for a business trip to Beijing, China. You can see the reluctance in his face, leaving our precious little baby. However, work is work and we are fine with the help of my mum.

I thought I will be ok... Of course physically, all is well. But I am missing my hubby so much. And he missing us dearly. So, to reduce the 'missing' feeling, we try at best to chat via gmail as much as we can and I will forward photos of us to him.

Mummy and me

We need to persevere this as the traveling is going to be quite often until things settled for my hubby. I know we can Skype but my personal laptop died on me and this computer do not have a camera and mic. Anyway, it's a family computer and it's located in the living room of my mum's house.

Almost everyday, I will take a photo of Luther and sometimes me, so that my hubby can 'see' us and most importantly, to see Luther change daily (if any!)....

Do I look cute?

At least my hubby can enjoy Luther's milestone as well, although, it would be nicer if he is able to experience it live... But for our future, what has to be done, has to be done. As long as we communicate and understand the situation and endure this together, we will make it through.

Embracing Luther

I love you papa; my hubby!

Back to Home Base No. 2

Luther has been staying at grandma's place (mommy's mom) since birth and I believe that he has gotten use to the 'smell' around the house. This is Home Base No. 1 (H1).

4 days back, Tuesday, I brought Luther back to our own place; Home Base No. 2 (H2). We were so excited for Luther. So we dressed him up in his very 1st Polo-T. Unfortunately, it didn't last long enough to reach home. He got his little jumper wet and we needed to change him to something else.

Don't I look handsome in this Polo-T?

Anyway, mom and I stopped by Giant Hypermarket to get some supplies before heading back to H2. Luther was an angel. He enjoyed the grocery shopping session as well... eyes all open wide staring at the many aisles and eventually fell asleep, cozy up in his little stroller....

Sound asleep in my cozy haven

We had fun time at H2, although, the 1st and 2nd nights, Luther stayed awake until about 4am and 3rd night until about 6am. Maybe he is just not use to the new place but during the day, he was wonderful. Old folks believe that baby can sense that it's a different house by just the 'smell', which I can't seem to smell the difference... hehe.... 

Usually, Luther will want someone to pick him up and walk him around in the morning. Only occasionally, he will lay in bed and play by himself for a short period of time. For the 1st time, he managed to stay on his little cushion near the balcony and enjoy the view for over 45minutes... literally enjoying the view.... looking around outside at the sky and the birds. He also got to sleep on his new bed in our room with his new mattress and bedding. So adorable!

My New Bed @ H2

He seems to know that his papa was going off for a business trip that day. He was pretty quiet and that early morning spent some precious moment; papa and son.... while mommy was fast asleep!! And before we know it, my hubby was leaving for a business trip to Beijing on Thursday. He definitely misses Luther before even he left. Who wouldn't?? Since Luther is unable to speak.... yet, I decided to express for him. So, I got Luther to wear this adorable Baby Gap jumper.

I Love Daddy

We miss you hubby.......
