ForeWord

my baby girl is now 13 months old. how time flies? it only seems like yesterday when i was pregnant with her.

at this age, she's can be quite persistent and is constantly testing her boundaries. she is always full of energy and never sits still, unless when she's sleeping (duh!). every single second is well-spent exploring her world, up and down, left and right - every nook and cranny, you name it! one of her most favourite activity is climbing up the staircase. we can never take our eyes off her because you'll never know what she's up to next. even our 3-year-old maltese is wary of her. imagine that!

everyone is telling us that an active baby is good because it's an indication that she's healthy and happy, and that not sitting still means that she's constantly learning about new things and developing well. we should be glad with the way she is. true... yet deep down inside, we sometimes hope that she could be somewhere in between. you know, active enough but a bit more ladylike. i sometimes envy parents with demure and gentle looking baby girls!

anyway, in case you're wondering, i'm a working mom. so during working hours, baby girl goes to a daycare centre near hubby's office. after work, we'd pick her up and spend the rest of the evening together - just the 3 of us. weekends are mostly spent catching up on sleep or doing household chores.
