Milestones
Just an update. Milestones.
You started using straw since last weekend (20 June). You are really a fast learner. I gave you the straw in your magmag cup and left you to practise yourself. After a few tries, you started drinking like a pro from the straw!
To think that I was still procrastinating about changing the sippy cup to the straw all this while! I guess I should have more confidence in your potential.

My Marsh and me
23rd June 2009
Today I brought you to Changi beach. The weather was great and breezy. We sat there, you in my arms and we looked at the beautiful sea and its choppy waters and the passing ships. Then aeroplanes flew past and were just above our heads because we were so near to the airport. You had a great time looking at the bluish grey sky, pointing at the blue blue sea and blabbling with the sea gulls/ birds and trying your best to catch the sea breeze. At that moment, I felt like the happiest person in the world. I know you will not remember any of this when you grow up but trust me, Marsh, I will always remember this day.
Nowadays I look at you and wonder where has all the time gone to? You are definately not a newborn baby anymore. I am always in this dilemma. SOmetimes I wish I could turn back the clock and hold my little baby snuggly in my arms again.
But at the same time, I am looking forward to the time when you are old enough to know and share life together with me. I want to bring you to many many places. Star gazing, beaches hopping, picnics by the sea, movies, travelling...
I am really looking forward to watch you grow and creating these memories together with you but concurrently i wish the time will freeze so that you will always be my little marshmellow.

Mosquitoe Bites
Last Sunday you were bitten by mosquitoes on your face. Not on your legs, not on your hands but your FACE!! I freaked out and started feeling so guilty about it. Everyday before I leave you in your exersauer as I prepare your lunch, I would make sure that your arms and legs are sprayed with California Baby's Bug repellant. But the damn mosquitoes actually attacked your face instead.
Despite the baby oilment I put for you, the spots were red and angry. I was really full of guilt and blamed myself for letting this happened. Your daddy and aunt Carol consoled me by saying that these are just mosquitoes bites and they heal in no time. But I was really paranoid about it and kept cleaning and putting oilment and calendula cream for you. Aunt Carol said I am mad. I think I am. Because I just ordered 2 bottles of California Baby's bug repellant spray and lotion and bought some mosquitoes patches for you.
Then that day I was blog hopping and came to read about this little girl call Vera and her life journey living with Trisomy 18. Tears starting streaming down my face as I read about her life and her wonderful parents. Their dept of love and comittment to little Vera is so unconditional.
I try to put myself in their shoes but I cant. They are really really great parents.
I feel so small as compared to them and what they are doing for their little girl. They love her with all their hearts irregardless of anything and everything. Just because she is their little girl.
You can read about her story at http://mylittlevera.blogspot.com/
To think that I am worrying about the mosquitoe bites on your face. How shallow can I be?

The sound of Music
Music is said to be the spiritual of the arts because it is pure vibration of which the Universe is composed. That was the reason why I exposed you to many musical instruments and started you with Kindermusik at 6 months old. Dont get me wrong, Marsh. I dont expect you to be a genius musician. Just want you to be in touch with your music instincts and live your life harmonisely with the Universe.
Last week we were at your Cousins' place and you had your first try at the piano. Good attempt, dear!
