Yes darling, you've turned 14 months today. I haven't blogged about anything since we came back to Singapore and frankly I was getting a little lazy but I figured that I don't want to break this monthly update about you, lest I forget.
We've been back in Singapore for exactly a month now. It felt longer than that and you've shown us your adaptability and demonstrated your joy to be embraced in the midst of loving grandparents and cousins. You trot (crawl or make us hold your hands as you walk) around your cousins all the time, you just love to be in their company, and both Grace and Mark love you to bits too.
Your comprehension towards conversations and things around you amazes me. You respond to most things I say without hand gestures nowadays. But that made you really strong willed, ordering us around, choosing the exact things you want to eat/play/hold. Initially, it was hard for us and we (daddy and I) seem to be always on "logger heads" with you. We've since then exerted more discipline and boundaries and that has helped tremendously.
Your favorite activities revolve around shoes, trying them on, taking them out, trying to walk around in them. Since you can't walk independently yet you made everyone around you walk around with you. You also love animals.
Thank you my little one for filling my life with your funny things. Here's a pic of you trying to imitate and clean your ears with a cotton bud. I am currently split between you and daddy at night. I have been sleeping with you on the 2nd part of the night if you were to wake up. I am secretly enjoying those moments where all you wanted of me was to lie next to you and you will periodically wake up and crawl to me for kiss before falling asleep again. So cute la.
It's going to be New Year's eve tomorrow and we'll be into 2010 in no time. I wonder what God has installed for us? But one thing we know of is that Daddy and I will continue to seek for His wisdom to bring you up the way we should in His eyes and that we can be an example for you. Know that we will fail every now and then, but know too that His grace will be for us and we will walk relying on that very grace.
Love you lots baby, you're growing up real fast.
Love Mummy
