Time waits for no man

Our baby girl is growing up fast. Here she is at 14.5months. We pray that she grows up healthy, happy and financially independent. :)

Looking back at all the old videos on youtube, I realise that we cannot hold on to time. As much as we try to spend most of our free time with her, we can never stop her from growing. And we shouldn't. Except to cherish and treasure each waking moment with her.

At 4 months, she was babbling, not able to talk nor indicate her wants, nor walk. At 6 months, she is paying close attention to the environment around her - eyes more alert. She knows when you're talking to her. She can hold her head up. Starting to prop herself up at 7 months - we thought that was pretty amazing. Then she started to crawl at 8 months, which we thought at that time - wow, can mother nature surprise us anymore? We felt super proud when she took her first step at 9 months (sometime end Feb/early March 2014). We felt proud not because she started walking early. We just simply felt proud because our firstborn took her first steps. Now at 14.5 months, she is pointing her wants, knows how to say basic words, she knows a dog says "woof, woof", a sheep says "baa, baa" and a duck says "quack, quack". She likes dancing  and loves to run in open spaces (as most toddlers do, i think).

I wonder what the next few months and years will bring. But one thing I can be sure - I can never stop time. It waits for no man.
