Whew,chasing around a 10 1/2 month old is very very draining but fun. At exactly 10 month old she took her first few steps and since then,she has been a little energizer bunny always on the go. I just spent half of my day chasing her around the house and making sure she does not get herself into trouble. My husband and I have yet to baby proof the house and it has to be done soon.We really didn’t think about planning ahead for the reason that we never thought she would be walking this early. I still cant believe how those chubby short legs could support her body now and be strong enough to walk. She just learn how to stand by herself without holding on to anything yesterday. It was hilarious watching her maneuver into different position finding the best leverage.She finally figured out by crouching first with feet wide apart and pulling herself up. Mind you,it was such a challenge to her,she didn’t give up.Kept on trying and trying until she finally got the hang of it.We cheered her on and applauded her on her achievement. My heart melted when she smiled,went over to me and put her head on my lap. It was her way for saying “mama i did it!”.

 Next month will be another big milestone,she will be turning 1 and celebrate hers and her Daddy’s birthday for the first time ever. I cant wait to see if she will blow out her candles or just dig into the cake like the little piggy that she is. I’m getting sentimental now. Being a mother brings out emotions I never thought i had.My daughters bring out the best in me.
