Confession of a Guilty Mother

I realised that I had not been updating the blog for more then 6 months! Janelle has turned 16 months and not one blog since her birthday. What a mother!! Hahahaha. Now I don't know where to start.
Sometimes I really hope that she stops growing. I preferred and miss when she is just a baby. I can carry her and hug her. Now, she just wants to play and refuses to let me carry her unless she is cranky or wants to sleep. Been more active now, she has also lost her baby fats and is not as chubby as before. I miss her chuncks of meat. hahhaha.
On her verbal growth, she hasn't really called me or her dad yet. She just goes mom, mom, mom. But I don't think she is calling out for me. She also refuses to say anything till CNY. We brought her to the market and suddenly she shouted, CAT! We were shocked. When hubs brought her to the playground, she chased after a school of birds and shouted bird, bird, bird.
I read the Sleeping Beauty book to her and asked her to point out where is the dog in the picture. She just said dog and that was it. She doesn't want to repeat it again. She is so stingy with words. I know that she understands what we told her and wants her to do as she will follow our instructions. But she just simply refuses to talk when asked to. Wonder when she will really talk.
Maybe I should just enjoy the moments when there is peace and quiet in the house. Most mummies told me that once she found her voice, there will not be any moment of peace. Hahhahaa.

Watching her grow up has indeed changed the way I look at things. Now I dare to say that she is my first priority in everything. I am sorry Dear, she over took your position.
