I am 23 months now!!

This month marks 23 months of Faythe. Just 1 month short of 2 yrs old. Since 18 months onwards, you’ve shown tremendous improvement in your language capabilities. Mommy has no more worries on that. In fact sometimes you thrill us with all your language tricks. Mommy has alot of fun talking to you as well.

You are still constantly putting on weight every month without fail. This is what I really love about you. I never have to worry about your diet. Even on the month where you were sick twice, you still manage to maintain your weight. As for height, Mommy notice that some of your pants are getting shorter, but you are still around the range of 85cm. Now I wonder will you be as tall as Mommy or a bit shorter like Daddy.

You are very good with your motor skills. I notice that you can wear shoes all by yourself. Patiently sitting down on the floor and putting on the shoes (sometimes still on the wrong side) and carefully strapping the velcro in place. I love to watch you doing that. I also love watching you wearing your pants. Now you can do it pretty fast. You can use fork very well and can even drink soup with your spoon, but hands are not that steady. But Mommy is very happy. This is because I can just give you some food and you will spend the whole hour while we are busy eating, you will be busy eating by yourself. Few nights ago, you again proved yourself to be very capable when you manage to put on socks by yourself, both the feet!! But it’s not put in correctly though (upside down hahaha)…You will improve on that, I believe. Time seems to fly. It seems like just yesterday I gave birth to this lil girl.

One year ago, I tuck you to sleep making sure that the blanket covers you properly.
Today, you know how to tuck yourself to sleep..pulling the blanket by yourself.

One year ago, you were just taking your first few wobbly steps.
Today, you can run pretty fast and even warn yourself to walk carefully so that you don’t fall.

One year ago, you only started eating rice with 6 teeth.
Today, you have a set of 14 pearly whites, ready to chomp down any food.

One year ago, you were only interested in chewing your books.
Today, you select the book you like and request Mommy to read to you every night. Lying by my side quietly for at least 30 mins.

Everyone is asking Mommy, how will you be celebrating Faythe’s birthday? Well, Mommy being the lazy one do not intend to throw a lavish party (since you didn’t really like that McD chicken mascot – excuses ahaha). So we will have a warm family party with a nice cake.

2yr old is also gonna be a special birthday because your god mother, Audrey, will be around. She was around the other time when you arrive to this world. When everyone was so amazed and mesmerised by your looks and beautiful locks. And now you are already turning 2.

I have not seen any of terrible 2 sign. Mommy is hoping that you will be a good girl and will not show much of terrible 2 except that when you are tired and sleepy. Then you have Mommy to blame for. For not having a proper schedule for you.

Sometimes Mommy feel very selfish. I wish that you will always be 2. Always be a manja girl to me of which I know someday you will grow up and will not be as close to me as now.

Mommy will always love you, Faythe. You will always be my baby.
