Half Way Mark

Dearest darling Jingyi,

You have stealthily become a permanent fixture in our lives and have been creating havoc to our lifestyle for the past 6months. i remember when i just had you, i can't wait for you to grow up & be independent. Now, i can't get enough of your mischief and giggles. It's been a struggle to maintain sanity and to balance work with family at the same time.

You have filled up nicely from a teeny weeny baby since birth and stop short of being a michelin baby. You have stolen all the hearts of both sets of grandparents, aunties & uncles, and of course your parents, us. You have inherited a pair of strong legs & hands from your daddy, the dreaded ezcema & thumb-sucking from mummy.Bad temper & impatience...i suppose both of your genes are at fault.

Everyone loves you & you definitely perk us up without a doubt.

You love your solids, i started you wee bit early as you have refused to drink EBM (i.e express breastmilk) from bottle. Since then, you have gobbled down brown rice cereal, apple juice, banana, tried butternut squash & sweet potato. you ain't a lover for pear though and initially the refusal to drink plain water, you simply love to sip water from the spoon (nope, not from the bottle) and smack your lips alongside with your solids!

I really love how you look at me, times when you want 'maeh maeh!' unknowingly and the cute way you fell asleep in my arms, when u greeted me excitedly everyday when i come back from work as if you missed me & haven't seen me in ages.

You have been developing well, reaching all those milestones that academic and practitioners said babies would. Recently, linguistically, you are able to make so many noises variations and pitches we find it hilarious, except when you discovered whining.

Although i seem to have slaved through the 6months, suddenly all these hard work faded away & gone in a flash, in place, there is this warm fuzzy feeling of love when i gaze at you. Your soft skin, your feather-like hair, rosebud lips and bright eyes all seem so lovable and make you so huggable.

I'm so happy to have you, my darling daughter...Happy 6months old!
