good morning leanne!

we woke up to such a pleasant surprise this morning.
i woke up tothe sound of leanne's calls. i turned my head and saw leanne right next to me. she had managed to find her way in the cot to get as close to us as possible; and was up on her kneels hanging onto the side rail while calling out to us to wake us up.
the day got even better as leanne kept going baba and mama...
and the day ended with leanne pulling herself up onto her feet while holding onto the side rail of the cot. she enjoyed her new found ability so much that it was difficult to get her to calm down to sleep.
but what a lovely day!

ps. and she covered my face with kisses today!

roll about

survival instinct

we took leanne to ikea last sunday. a decided that leanne was old enough to sit at the front of the trolley plus the fact that there was a safety buckle at the seat.

but our little leanne wasn't so sure. she immediately dropped her teething rusk and grabbed hold of the rail with both hands.

leanne at seven month

watching tv with daddy. we try to not let her watch but she loves the tv.

que sera sera

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be

Will I be pretty, will I be rich

Here's what she said to me

i always took the lyrics of the song at its face value unitl recently. i think it's actually us, the adults, who ask the questions. maybe not about beauty or wealth, but pondering what she will be when she grows up. what would be her personality, what she would like to do, what she excels in ....

i hope we can provide the loving environment that would nurture this precious little life to the fullest.

leanne's favourite sleeping pose

love the way she hugs her bean bag

we still haven't managed to let leanne sleep on her own during the day and have to carry her to rock her to sleep. it's getting more difficult because she gets easily distracted and gets excited. however, during the times when she is really tired and trying to sleep, she will burrow her face into our chest and cover her face with her hands as if to block out all the light and noise.

does she look like nara?

just woke up from her afternoon nap.
