A little exercise before
bedtime. |
Wooooow. It's been aaaaages since I lost posted. I suppose every mum understands how time can get away from you when you're taking care of a little tot! It's been a crazy half year filled with new adventures and a lot of firsts.
Asher's first tooth is making an appearance already. It's like a tiny iceberg popping its peak from a pink sea of gums. Okay weird description, but you get it. He's been fussing a lot and whining too--not so much serious crying, but I can tell he's very uncomfortable. I managed to soothe him by letting him suck on a frozen veggie.

Just three days ago I put him down the floor where I assembled layers of blankets and comforters to act as a playmat. Normally he'll be happy as a lark just on his tummy or on his back playing and babbling to himself. But I had no clue that three days ago, I would find to my surprise that he can finally stand up! I was cleaning up my dresser table when I turned to look and check on him and found that he had propped himself to STAND UP against the mirrored closet door and was talking to his reflection! My heart nearly burst out of my chest! He pushed back a little and let go, as if to test his own equilibrium and stance, and after a few seconds, fell on his cute little bum. Then he turns over to his tummy and then CRAWLS really fast toward me. I was like "Woah! When did THIS happen? When did you learn to do that??"
It's amazing how strong he is and everyone I've shared these milestones with have told me that it's the power of breastmilk. I am so thankful and elated that I really stuck it out. So glad I have other mummy friends who encouraged me to keep at it despite the pain and frustration. It truly is worth it.
