dAriUs is ONE..!

Weather: Snow Showers H:3° L:-1°


Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes to my beloved baby...but...y nobody pat me on the back and congratulate me for making thru the 1st year? needless to say...i know u can tell i did a good job...haha...(thickskin***...)

i expect i will have many many more good years ahead with Darius...thou it is a bittersweet transition now...from a dependent baby to an independent and demanding toddler...i am already looking forward to the challenges and the joy of watching all his 'firsts' (new milestones) in the 2nd year of life...i am also excited in the new variety of foods i can introduce to him and the fun stuffs we cld do together...

Darius is definitely starting to talk but mummy is still trying to figure out wat the sounds mean...he will point to things/people and give me a question mark face...i will label and name everything in his world and he seems to "repeat" after me...haha...so cute...!

Recently he is so into turning in circles and i cld get dizzy jus by watching...yet he cld walk off like ntg happen...dats the price of youth n health...haha...i'm sounding like an old woman...
I just started chasing my toddler down the hallway...at the store...seems like he already want to run away from me...haha...for mischief of coz...hehe...
All the funny expressions he makes with his face never fails to make me laugh...even after he throws all his cereal and apple pcs on the floor...
when he is busy playing...he never forgets to come to me for a hug n kiss...sometimes even bringing me his toy with the message : play with me...!

His favorite play thing now is carry boxes here and there...rummage the waste basket...pull the toilet paper..."sweep" the floor with my swiffer...push the roller chair...throw my clothes out of the drawer...

In the morning...the first thing he does when i get him out of bed...he will open the door and rush out to his little play land...with dat...i cld steal another 15 mins of sleep b4 he starts to bug me...hehe...well not bug me...but by dat time...i cld expect to see some "damage" already...so its better i get up and minimize it...

After the light snowfall last Wednesday...this morning we woke up to Winter Wonderland...there was about 1 inch of snow on the ground...its the 2nd snowfall this year and looks like icing on a cake...its a gift from GOD in celebration of Darius' 1st year ...jus like Darius is a gift from GOD to me...today i have so many thoughts going thru my mind...every details on 16th Nov 2007...all the challenges and sleepless nites and fear that i went thru up till todate...it is really amazing how much one can achieve in jus 365 days...
