First Family Vacation

Our annual trip to Penang was our first vacation since Meera was born. Being the worrywart that I am, I was quite prepared to cancel our trip this year. But hubby convinced me that everything would be fine and worst case scenario; we drive back home if it was really that bad. I don't know what I was so worried about (okay, the truth is I was convinced she would be unable to sleep in an unfamiliar place. Thus resulting in sleepless nights and a cranky baby)

Miraculously she slept fine! We brought along our Pack N Play and she slept in it for the 5 nights that we were there. No problem! I was quite amazed. For some reason I thought being away from her normal surroundings would upset her. So we left early to reach Penang in the afternoon to give her some time to adjust to her new surroundings. But by the time we reached I guess she was quite exhausted so she took a nap almost as soon as we put up the playpen. Guess she felt right at home at my uncle's place.

We spent 5 nights in Penang and she was a regular champ! She really handled the change well. There were a few late nights, missed naps, lot of missed solid feedings...but she just rolled with it. My Super Baby!

It was a really nice vacation. A lot of first for Meera: first time in a swimming pool...




first time at the playground...



I think she had a really good time.

And so did we!
