Note to Mina

You're getting more and more mobile now. At first, you insisted Mommy hold your hands, sometimes even both hands when you walked. Now, you get irritated when I try to grab your hands and you give a little shriek. It's quite ear-piercing.

I have to remember to make sure to keep calm. You're very keen on imitating now, and yo imitate the good as well as the bad. I'm really puzzled because you somehow learned the work "kurit" without me teaching it to you, and everyone else claims they didn't teach you either. When we say "where's the kurit", you lift your hand up and make a pinching motion. *scratches head*. It's cute cause you don't really know what it's for. YOu make the pinching gesture but don't know to pinch anyone.

We visited the pedia (I miss your old pedia Dr. Jackson) and you're only 21.6 lbs. I am sorry I ever fretted over you being tabaching-ching. You're too skinny in my opinion. I miss the folds in your arms and your thick thighs and legs. I miss your chubby cheeks! We're trying to fatten you up, but you're metabolism has definitely gotten much faster. We'll keep trying though.

Your favorite food right now is grapes, and yes, rice as well. You will absolutely stuff your face with grapes one after the other even if you haven't swallowed the rest. You're so funny.

You've definitely got a little personality. Sometimes, when we're in the parks or at the playground, older toddlers will cozy up to you. If you've had enough of them, you have no problem pushing them away!

I love you baby. Don't grow up so fast okay. What's the hurry? Cuddle next to mommy a little bit longer.

Happy 1st Birthday Mina

I am so happy I get to be your Mom. It's an honor being a Mommy to such a lovely little girl! I can't believe it's been one year since I gave birth to you via an unplanned C-section. Even longer since I first learned I was pregnant with you. You've brought us so much joy. You've brought me closer to my mom, your grandma, and you're Daddy's little princess even though he vowed he wouldn't treat you like a girly-girl. We love you, and by the smiles and laughter you shower us with, I think we're doing an all right job raising you so far.

All I Want For My Birthday Is My Two Front Teeth

Well, if you aren't the easiest child to deal with when it comes to teething. Your two front teeth came out the other week. You gave us a few night of H-E double hockey sticks but we did ok. I missed your gummy smile but you're as pretty as ever with your two front teeth peeking out.

Your Steps To A New Adventure

A few days ago you took your first few steps my dearest Mina. Two steps that made Mommy cry out loudly. I clapped and you crowed and smiled proudly.

Man, what will you do next? I can't wait to see you soar.
