Sheryl has been pretty active these days. She has learned how to roll over, sit up and now started to learn how to crawl. Often when she wakes up, she will just lay there, roll a little and played by herself. Well I must say this is a good thing but not this early morning. My poor Sheryl baby woke up, rolled over and experienced her first fall at 4.25am.
I was away in slumberland when I was woken up by her cries! It was really dark (and I’m a blind mice without my specs) and I panic when I can’t feel her on the bed. I dare not step out of bed for fear of stepping on her. I had no choice but to shout for darlin who was sleeping next door because of his flu. My gosh, I can literally feel my heart breaking when I saw her crying and waving her limbs frantically on the floor after darlin switched on the light. Luckily we managed to soothe her and she fell asleep after some milk. Man, I was so worried that I could not sleep the whole night. I kept checking to make sure she’s breathing normally and did not vomit.
I told darlin, ”This must be the second shock of her life. The first was when she was just borned.”
Was thinking of this when I was on my way home and I thought I will just have it down so that I can remember
My dearest daughter Sheryl
Do you know you are such a cute little dear
Every morning when you wake up with a smile
That simply makes daddy and mummy’s heart melts
When you are unhappy you will scream and frown
But a simple peek a boo will always calm you down
Mummy loves to watch you play by yourself
And often wonder when you will be tall enough to touch the shelf
I feel happy when I see you grow and grow each day
I can’t wait to catch the first word that you say
Having you with us for the past seven months has been such a joy
I can’t believe you are now already able to hold your own toy
Sometimes you make mummy so angry because you have been naughty
But I guess mummy doesn’t mind as long as you are happy and healthy!
I certainly do not like changes.
I was looking at some old pics in the lappy when I realised I’ve put on so much weight and aged so much these 2 years!
Back in 2007 before I got married…
This was me back in mid 2007. Dad just bought me the lappy and I was trying out the webcam.
NOW…
I guess the saying “Time and tide wait for no man” is really true.
However, I won’t complain much. Seeing how happy and healthy Sheryl is really makes my day!
It’s all worth it.
On another note, Miss Sheryl seems to be putting all sorts of things into her mouth. If you notice, within the frame of one minute she has managed to grab a box of herbal tea, my bank token and my handphone and putting them into her mouth! It’s time for me to start packing before she starts swallowing anything. Mr Ang will surely kill me.
Anyway, a poem to share.
Brand New Little Daughter
~ by Linda Lee Elrod ~
She´s your brand new little daughter,
so enchanted, sweet and smart.
With a coo, she´ll have you smiling
With a laugh, she´ll own your heart.
It´s the time for hugs and kisses,
Reassurance when she cries.
It´s the time for making moments
Full of love and Lullabies.
For these golden days of childhood
come and go so very fast -
Hold her tight and love her dearly.
Make these preciouse moments last.
…her equally happy parents.
