{Burping time}

Burping Alexa turns out to be rather enjoyable... I never liked having to burp babies. Most of the time, it takes forever to burp them. Sometimes, they regurgitate on you.

But lately, I'm beginning to treasure the time that I hold Alexa in my arms, over my shoulder burping her. I would slide her down and let her rest on my chest if she's fallen asleep. And that is one precious moment I'd love to keep. Sometimes I'd whisper how much I love her into her ears. Sometimes I'd lay my hand on her head and pray over her. Sometimes I'd just hug her tightly and simply enjoy our private quiet time.

Calvin and I have decided that we're stopping at two, unless God thinks otherwise. So I'm treasuring ever moment I have with my little precious infant. I'd probably not have another chance to hold a 1.5 month old baby so closely, smell her like I'm a pervert, kiss her all over and watch her as she quietly breathes in her sweet slumber.

As much as she tires me out and drains me dry, I know I'm gonna miss this stage of her life as she rapidly grows... Alexa, Mommy loves you so much! Thank God for blessing us with such a beautiful bundle of joy.

{Can you come down and walk on your own please (#2)}

It was raining when Calvin went to pick Gabby up today. They had this conversation on their way home with Gabby in Calvin's arms.

Daddy: Gabby, can you come down and walk on your own please?
Gabby: No...
Daddy: Why?
Gabby: The floor wet wet...
Daddy: ....

{The other hand... the other hand...}

I had my Hep B booster jab at Dr Ho's clinic earlier today and have a plaster on my right upper arm. When we went to pick Gabster up, she saw the plaster and said with a frown on her face, "Mommy pain pain.." And as we walked back, she wanted me to carry her bag for her. I extended my right arm to take the bag from her and she immediately exclaimed, "The other hand, the other hand..." with a very concerned look on her face.. She was worried that my right hand would be in pain if I carried her bag with it. Such a darling!!!

And as I was getting her to sleep, she wanted me to quickly take off the plaster because to her, that would mean that I'd no longer be in pain..

Awwww.. such simple thoughts but they warm my heart! My precious baby loves me so...

Happy Valentine's Day! (^__^)
