Milestones

In my daily routine, it's almost hard to realise when exactly Adam achieves something new. In his first year, I wrote down all his firsts, even celebrate the monthly birthdays. Then he started to walk, quite soon actually at 10 months.. the house was not the same anymore. Vases were hidden, small little trinkets shoved into boxes and I became his shadow, worried that he would fall or hit something.

Soon enough, I realised that you can't be too protective. Adam needed the space to discover the world himself. I gave him "space" allright.. he got his first "scar" which is "Potter-like" on his forehead when he hit the corner of a wall. I can never forget that day, just two weeks before his 1st birthday. When he stopped crying, I was still at it. He ended up soothing me with a smile...aaaaw!

At one time just before he turns two, hubby kept on worrying why Adam was not talking as well as his cousins at that age. Told him to let Adam grow at his own pace, afterall he hardly have the chance to interact with other kids. At the same time, I kept on talking to him (rather that yelling!!) and now he is a persistent talker. Oh well... the joy of motherhood can never be described to the tee, can only be experienced.
