Staying at home means having a lot of time to do fun stuff with Luna (well, sort of…she’s been wanting to be held all day lately though which makes it more difficult to do anything). For as long as I can remember, I have always been obsessed with fabrics and patterns. When I find a fabric that I like, I always end up buying it for future projects.

As I lay the fabric flat on the rug and layed Luna on top of it, she suddenly had a burst of energy moving her eyes around, flapping her hands and kicking her feet. I then realized that newborns can only see in black & white and shades of grey. She probably had a visual overload as she was surrounded with this black and white pattern on the fabric. It was fun to watch seeing her so excited and SO WIDE AWAKE!

I plan to make Christmas stockings with this fabric to hang on our white brick fireplace in the tv room. It might be a project for next years Christmas though as I seem to be busy putting Luna on different poses on top of my many fabric collection!

Luna’s first time sitting on her lounger chair and looking kinda scared. As soon as I strapped her in, she puts her arms together as if she’s protecting herself in case she falls. It’s not a good way to protect herself but she probably figured she can just roll over like a ball in case the chair collapses. This photo was taken a week ago and, since then, she’s learned to like sitting in it. Though, I wish they made big ones for big people too! Looks kinda comfy don’t you think?

Finally, the three little ones meet for the first time. Chloe, Kai and Luna all born this year and only a few months apart. Luna being the youngest of the three. Their play day consisted of Luna being asleep all day, Kai rolling on his back on the floor sucking his soother and Chloe on her chair munching on her snack. They were all in their own little world yet together in one space.

It was a great bonding girls day for the moms as well. Janice, Eliza and I all worked together at Kevin Louis Design. There were 5 of us designers in total (all women) and Kevin (principal) being the only guy in the studio. A few years back, all of us girls used to joke around that we would all end up getting pregnant at the same time (we are all around the same age) and nobody will be left at the studio. Eliza was the first, then a few months later Janice, then a few months later me!

So now, the three of us are in maternity leave enjoying ‘the sweet life’! Since our babies are only a few months apart, I hope for them to be friends and have lots of future play days to come. But it’ll be interesting to see how they will interact with one another as soon as they all start talking. Chloe is only spoken to in Chinese at home, Kai in Korean and my little Luna in English. And, to not complicate things, Luna’s favorite music is French! This will be interesting…

It’s only been a month and I’m totally loving this new domestic life of mine. Sleeping in, having girl days (in the middle of the week), lunch with my mom & sister, staying home, baking… I’m so loving this! One year maternity leave doesn’t seem to be enough now…
