A big girl now

How time flies....

Still feels like it was only yesterday that I first held you in my arms. That first time I heard your cries, tears immediately welled in my eyes. No words could ever describe the pride and joy I felt at that moment. It's all about her now, I remember telling myself back then.

Watching you grow over the months, hearing you cry whenever you wanted to be fed and needing some attention never fails to bring a spring in my steps, wanting to make sure that your every need is catered for. It's still about her now, till sometimes Mama and Papa feel we've been neglecting each other for you. That, I think, is a sacrifice we are both prepared for.

As time passes, I've noticed your penchant for the outdoors, be it in the mall or out in a park. You always had this thing for a trip to anywhere, as long as there is something new for you to feast your eyes on. Your tantrums at night always has Mama and Papa on our toes as we try our best to get you to sleep, even with you screaming into our ears.

At 6 months, you have learnt to pout your lips whenever I whips out my camera, never failing to give me a nice shot to snap. You have learnt to roll over and over almost to the edge of our bed. So much so, that we have to line the edge of our bed with pillows so that you'll have enough space to practice rolling safely.

I know there are more to come from you. I'm waiting with wide open arms for whatever that may come from you, cos, baby, you are my pride and joy.
