My darling turns 5 months old.

Dearest Julia,

As you turn 5 months old today, let me share you some little thoughts of you...

You made Mama really really sad these past few days. Was there something I've done? Was there something I've tactlessly said? Is my milk supply not enough for you baby?

Oh Julia! Please don't feel bad when Mama is away for a few hours. Like I always tell you, Mama is in the kitchen - baking. You must know that the kitchen is Mama's happy place darling. And you must know too that you and Daddy are my ultimate happiness. So please don't feel bad anymore. You are always in my thoughts baby. You are even in my dreams. And someday, we will both dream together. Dreams do come true my love.

Mama has decided to lay low on baking because Mama doesn't want you to feel bad anymore. Someday, you will join me in the kitchen, and I know it will be wonderful and messy all at once! I can't wait for that day to come, Julia.

As you turn 5 months old, you have mastered the skill of making whatever acts. Say, throwing tantrums at Mama. Well not that heavy though, but you sure know how to tackle one. You scream your heart out in a loud cry and at times you get all giddy and ecstatic when greeted warmly. Oh how you generously enjoy splashing your saliva as you get all excited! Baby, you are now a big girl!

Mama is so proud of you because at this early you can now eat. You first had Chicken Soup Mamita prepared for you and the day after you had dry cereal. Everyday is changing as you have a love and hate relationship with feeding. But it's all okay, love. Still, I will always be proud of my precious one.

I find it so funny that everyday you are slowly mimicking your Daddy's features. You are after all his mini-me. Oh how you both look alike!

Julia, I love you to the moon and back. 

Cuddle time with Daddy.
