Am I Drinking Vitagen?
I must be lucky, I think. Mummy offered me some Vitagen the other night when I was down with what the adults say, the Flu. It tasted a little funny though, but I slurped it all up anyway. Hmmmm... I can't help but wonder about something daddy said to mummy- something about spiking and medicine. I got awfully sleepy after that and mummy patted me to sleep.
My 13mth old birthday week also marks the SAD day that mummy stopped giving me her boobies. I really do miss them but mummy kept screaming whenever I clamped my newly grown pearlies down on them. I guess I won't be seeing them for a while. Bubbye friends...
I Love Playgrounds!
Daddy and Mummy brought me to the playground outside MacDonald's @ East Coast Park. I had a ball of a time and really want to go back there soon. Daddy, ok?

Jan 2006 Babies Birthday Bash!
Mummy's forum friends organised a really fun-filled birthday bash for me and my friends. We all had a wonderful time! I got to play and crawl around with fellow January 2006 babies and we also got to eat delicious chocolate cupcakes! Yummy! We even had a gift exchange thingie and I got me a new friend, Elmo, courtesy of Aunty Anita and my friend Tabby! Yaaayyyy- thank you Aunty Anita!

Being Sarah's Mummy
It wasn't so long ago that I used to think that becoming a mother had to be the easiest transition I ever had to make in my life. It was afterall supposed to come instinctively. Looking back now, I am amused at how naive and idealistic I was.
Motherhood has to be the hardest mission in any woman's life. It is the beginning of a new journey- one that puts you at the helm of another person's life. Being a parent means shaping, moulding and instilling discipline, sense of morality and values in your child so that he or she can grow up to be a wonderful and caring person, as well as a useful member of society. I am still coming to terms with the size of this responsibility. It is very, very overwhelming and might I add, scary.
My opinion of how I want to live my life has altered drastically especially when I realised that every action, every decision I choose to make will in some way or another influence my child. My life is no longer my own. It will always include Sarah till the day I die. Putting it that way makes most things clearer to me and I am no longer bothered by the trivial matters that use to bog me down. Family and relations are far more important than my obsession with myself. It is a hard pill to swallow but I have made my choice and I should just do the best that I can bringing up my child.
I am worried about how Sarah will turn out in the future; I am anal about her diet and daily activities. These are aspects I need to change. I have to learn how to slow down and enjoy my journey as a mother to my baby. Motherhood is afterall about the journey AS WELL AS the destination. I suppose if I keep my mind on the destination and with alot of prayers, everything will fall into place. I just need to have faith. =)

My Girl...
I haven't really thought about,
What you mean to me.
At first I had many doubts,
Of my capability.
You were just a tiny person,
So helpless and fragile.
Yet now you're the very reason,
Behind my every smile.
I'm amazed at all you'd taught me,
When I was sure that I know best.
You've proved that life with you is truly,
Above the paltry rest.
Turning 1!
Sarah's finally one! Okay, maybe almost 13 months- what can I say except that time really flies! I have finally uploaded pictures of her 1st birthday party. It was supposed to be a fun-filled outdoorsy event but it ended up raining cats and dogs. Thankfully we had wonderful, understanding guests who braved the rain and were willing to squish together in our miserably small squash court. The party turned out rather well and little Sarah has all you Uncles and Aunties to thank for her one year supply of free clothing (4 swim suits), more toys, books and growing education fund.
