The Result of Front-Carrying

Bringing Joey to work in the front carrier is indeed the most convenient way of transporting her to work every morning. However it has also taken a toil on my back. Seriously, I am worried about getting a slip disc because the pain has gotten really bad today that I could feel the sharp pain in my spine.

Joey is about 7kg now. And with my laptop and big bag full of her stuffs and my stuffs, I am not surprised that I am carrying 8-9kg of stuffs on me everyday. My poor back and shoulders. I think I must really expedite my search for a trolley bag. I am looking for a laptop bag on wheels basically, and I am thinking of putting all my stuffs into it so that i only need to carry joey on me and the rest i just need to drag along. I seriously think it will do some service to my back. The truth is, I am short enough. If I get a hunchback somemore, i may just reach up to Isaiah's waist. sigh..


I am so happy that Joey has finally reached the age where she can be distracted by something. How funny is that?? But it's true, because it means I can successfully keep her occupied for at least 5 minutes with something that makes music, moves or is colourful. Better than the stage where she can only be pacified by being carried.

And the sounds she's making nowadays are really funny. She would usually make a 'grumbling' sound when she is impatient. It's no longer all crying now. She would grumble and make the kind of sounds that go 'ehhhhhhhh...' or she would yawn and she will drag her yawning to 'ahhhhhhhhnnn...'. It is quite rude, I know, to yawn so loudly.. but i shall have to educate her only when she can understand what I am scolding her for. And when I chide her for making so much noise, she would smile and look embarrassed. The amount of expressions on her face are just so amazing.
