One Year Ago...

One year ago today, I was staying in Thomson Medical Centre, feeling acomplished after having delivered a baby just a few hours ago. It didn't seem too long ago when I was trying very hard to push the baby out into the world and feeling anxious to see how he will look like. I remembered wondering to Hubby if he thinks our new baby has Downs Syndrome since he has single eyelid. Thankfully, the pediatrician confirmed he wasn't the next day.


























Baby X @ 1year old vs Baby X 1 year ago


How fast time flies! Today, it's exactly one year since the day Baby X squeezed through the birth canal and arrived into our lives.

From a baby who only lies where you place him, Baby X has developed into an active toddler. Baby X is now learning to stand up on his own. He does this exercise very well when he's on the bed. Somehow he knows that that's a safe place to practice. He's also very good at expressing his wishes although he has yet learnt to speak. He will point his finger at the thing he wants or the place he wants to go, making some sounds to tell you 'get me that' or 'go there'. When he gets bullied by his brother, he will look at you with a miserable look and complain by making whining sounds. When he's happy, he will smile, jump, bounce and clap his hands. He really is a happy baby and his arrival has brought a lot of extra joy to the family.
