Transition

Busy, busy... not just Chloe but us as well. You see, Chloe is learning to do 'free standing', it's not a baby extreme sports but one that can make my heart stop for second. She started standing with the help of furnitures and anything she can grab hold of (that's how we do it too, right?) and has progressed to squat and stand. She's learning how to walk, yes!

The first time she did it, I lunged to grab her just in time before she dropped onto her bum. Phew! Close one. Papa is immediately updated on her latest progress so that he will keep his eyes open and ready to catch any plopping bum. We will not have our heart in our mouth if she will just stand and maybe dropped on her bum. Chloe being Chloe would stand and start clapping her hands and plop - she topples.

And of course, when a baby is learning to walk , nothing in the house is safe. The T.V. console is declared dangerous cos if she grabs the door for support, it will flip out and hit her in the face, any movable furniture are out too as they are not good support. So I'm thinking of getting her a Michelin suit for protection.

But we are having fun, waiting eagerly for her to take her first baby step. :)

Tipping her toes, trying to climb up the sofa bed to get to the Macbook. My toys are always so much more fun than her own.

She gets the stick after the ice cream is finished. Ha.. ha.. nay, actually she gets the ice cream too but she's more interested in the stick.

The dog or the zebra? Two of her favorite books which she reads and bites sometimes.

Going to bed soon... looks like a baby spider man?

Oh how exciting! I remember Johan and I anxiously waiting for Sera to take her first steps. It such a wonderful moment, a miracle when you think our little girls were so helpless and needy when they were born. What an incredible milestone!
