DEAR DIARY ;
There's just this wonderful feeling of watching a new-born baby...but nothing is more spectacular than watching a baby growing up.
When I first stepped into East shore hospital slightly more than a year ago, I was in awed of the way he is at the nusery room. When he made slight noises, the whole lot of us go excited. Then when he smiles, we fight to insist that that particular smile was just for one of us.
He came out of his mommy's womb dark like chocolate. So all of us started to call him chocolate. Now that he can bite he always ask for chocolate.
I watch him sleeping in the baby cot, drinking milk and being pat to bed. Then I saw him on his stroller rushing here and there. When he could grip, he started to mimic us by talking on the telephone.
Now he can not only call us - jiejie, korkor. He can walk on his own, eat on his own, drink on his own and climb up the bed on his own. He knows how to let us know when he is hungry through his baby ways and he knows how to look into a camera. :)
Watching Pin Xu growing up taught me a lot. He has touched me in his baby ways. I cannot imagine what it is like when he attends kindergarten, primary school, secondary school....till he get married. By then, I must be really old.
Life can be so amazing and the world can be so beautiful when you start realizing that everything around is not "for granted".
" A baby is God gift to the family- they bring undescribable joy that lingers."
