Baby Clara celebrated her fulll month today; she is exactly 40 days old today. She is Lynn's number 8 cousin, and is 8 years younger than Lynn. It had been 4 years since the family has a new baby. Nowadays when Lynn see new borns, she will whisper to me "Another hors-see", meaning a baby born in the year of horse.
I will remember Clara's birthday better than some of the other kids', cos she is born on the last day of the month - 31st July, which is the same as Lynn (31 Oct).
Today when I observed the 6 cousins, with ages spanning from 4 to 14, interact and play with each other (mid autumn celebration too), I think Clara will not get to play much with the rest due to the large age gap. However, she will always be special to the Aunties and Uncles, like all the other 6 of them are to us!
The pram that Clara is in is a hand down from me, to Winny to Juin. When I told WK that I don't remember who handed it down to us, he reminded me that it was Lili. I sent a message to Lili, to tell her to look at the pic on FB. She replied with heighten expression that she vaguely remembered it. It was a wonderful feeling, knowing that another woman is going to experience the joy of motherhood, like the rest of us do!

haha, actually the reason why this pram can sustain till now is because it has gone through one surgery by Qiu Yun. I must say that she's really good in amending and keeping things. She inserted a cardboard to the base and repair the strings at the side which tied to the structure of the pram, and some other miscellaneous repair.
