This month has been mild and tough all together.
It started with a bang.
There was this 6.5 magnitude earthquake that shook us like crazy.
A week after that, you suffered from Chicken Pox and it's not fun at all. Your face was all covered with tiny spots of red and it didn't look pain free to me. I am so sorry you had to get it firsthand. On the bright side, you are so done with Chicken Pox and you will never ever have to experience that again.
This month too, I started to feed you and I am one proud Mama for making you eat clean and healthy food. So far, you started with the usual fruits like Banana, Mango, Avocado, Pear and Apple. You also favored Oats over Quinoa but still ate the later with excitement. You've tried Carrots, Squash, Zucchini and Spinach amongst other vegetables. I am so happy that you get giddy when you see your pink spoon and bowl. Your appetite is always big and jolly. I pray that it'll remain like that.
I've tried to make you go out for morning and afternoon strolls so you can take all the fresh air. I've been so keen on making you live a super clean environment because you are a pre-term baby but because you are now 7 months old, I will loosely release the rein on you, for you to better appreciate the world and just because your body needs it too.
You have grown so much, your body is so full and round. Everybody tells me that you look like a Buddha, a smiling one at that. You have been so friendly nowadays, your smile melts my heart as your eyes lit up with joy.
It won't be long now that you will be able to sit on your own and stand on your own. I am just deeply overwhelmed that you can roll over now as we have been waiting for it for so long and at times you sleep on your side at night and turn freely on your own elect.
Just don't grow up too fast, Clara. Because I will miss the precious baby that you are now.
I love you always,
Mama
