Happy 6th Month Old, Ethan Baby on Thur 22 April 2010

Dearest Ethan Baby,

How times flies! You are 6th month old. You was still a newborn half a year ago and now you are 6th month old. =) You have started weaning and we are excited about it. Mummy wants to learn a lot of weaning recipes for you so that you will have a wide variety of foods. You have also shown signs of crawling. We can't wait to see you start crawling in your 7th month. We love you very much, baby!


Love Always,
Mummy

A Good Mummy for Ethan =)

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Mummy wants to be the best Mummy for you. I want to perform my role with love, sacrifice, dignity and respect to you. Mummy wants to be the source of inspiration for you and wants you to be proud of me. =) I must admit that it is not easy being a Mummy but I will try my very best. I promise to be patient with you. If patience is gone, everything will turn out chaotic and disorganized. Mummy loves you, Darling.


Love Always,
Mummy!

Ethan's "Security Blanket"

Dearest Ethan Baby,

We want the little doggie that Mummy brought for you to be your "security blanket". Daddy and Mummy hope that your sense of independence will start to develop and you will understand that we are not always there. We hope that this can be the moment when she finds your little doggie as your security blanket, a means of defence against anxiety. Daddy and Mummy also hopes that it will help ease the transition between dependence on us and independence. We are sure that you are going to develop such a close relationship with your little doggies soon. =)


Love Always,
Mummy!

Co-Sleeping with Daddy and Mummy

Dearest Ethan Baby,

We are so glad that we have the habit to co-sleep with you on our bed. It is such a wonderful feeling with a little bit of stress coz we seriously don't wish that we will end up lying on top of you. =) We love the coziness of co-sleeping with you. We love to the feeling of snuggling in bed together with you as a way to connect after a long day apart from you. We love you and wish we can spend all our time with you.


Love Always,
Mummy!

10 Commandments For Daddy & Mummy

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Mummy read the below article and was very touched by it.

Children are God's best gift.
Psalm 127:3 TM

(1) My hands are small; don't expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture or throw a ball. My legs are short; slow down so that I can keep up with you.

(2) My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; let me explore it safely; don't restrict me unnecessarily.

(3) Make time for me. Housework will always be there; I'm only little once.

(4) I have feelings too; don't nag me about my inquisitiveness. Treat me as you'd like to be treated.

(5) I'm a gift; treasure me as God intended. Hold me accountable, give me guidelines to live by, discipline me with love.

(6) I need encouragement to grow, not empty praise. Go easy, you can correct the things I do without putting me down.

(7) Give me the freedom to make decisions, even if they're not always right. Permit me to fall, so that I can learn to walk.

(8) Don't redo things I've done; that makes me feel like my efforts don't measure up to your expectations. And don't compare me with others; I'm me, not them.

(9) Don't be afraid to leave for a weekend together. Kids need vacations from parents, just like parents need vacations from kids. Besides, it shows us that your marriage is something special.

(10) Take me to God's house and introduce me to Him, because I'm going to need Him for the rest of my life.

Mummy hopes to remember it as you grow older. Mummy loves you very much.


Love Always,
Mummy!

First Day with Nanny on Mon 29 March 2010

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Daddy and Mummy can't bear to leave you with your nanny but our choices are limited. Daddy had found a new job and need to start work soon. We are deciding to either leave you in an Infant Care Centre or with a nanny. Thanks GOD that Uncle Anthony's Mummy is able to take care of you and become your nanny. She is a very nice and caring lady. We hope you enjoy your stay with her while Daddy and Mummy are working hard for you. We love you very much, Darling.


Love Always,
Mummy!
