Dear Samantha,
You can finally sit up… from lying down position. You can sit while holding your toys with both of your hands for a long time. The only thing is: sometimes, you love to fall back on your back… and hit your head on the floor. You did this a few times and I get worried about you hitting your head on the floor. So I have to watch yo all the time and put the pillow behind your back everytime you sit… That means, you’re keeping mommy busier these days.
Also, you know how to look for mommy already. I would put you down on the floor in your play area and go to the kitchen… you would crawl/creep youself until you find me in the kitchen. You are very determined indeed!
Yesterday morning, when Daddy and Mommy were having breakfast, you looked at mommy like you were starving like crazy. So I gave you a little bit of bread… and you liked it! I kept giving you and you actually finished the one slice of wholemeal bread (except the sides). Hmmm… love feeding you girl.
You’re very curios now. Wanna touch everything you see… and you like the sound of Hi-5 song that Kuya is watching on TV. So now, your list include: Barney and Hi-5. What’s next? 
Your favorite book: On The Farm (A Sparkle Board Book). You like touching the sparkling thing on every page. And you like it when mommy makes all the different animal sounds.
Okay girl… you’re having an afternoon nap now, that’s why mommy has time to write about this. Nap well!

Hey girl,
You have started babbling!!! Hurray!!! I was worried for awhile. Anyways, you don’t babble much.. but at least you do. Go girl, go!
Also, you’re more mobile now. I put you inside the fence -play area… but you came out of it.. creeped/crawled and played outside your pen. Anyways, you have such a strong determination to do things.
And yeah, you have started joining the club, too… meaning sleeping on the “big bed.” You started when you’re crying in the middle of the night and I was too sleepy to sit up to feed so… i just lied down and feed you until you went back to sleep. After that, you refused to be put in the cot already. Hmmm… you started early lah. Last time your Kuya started joing the “big bed” when he was 9 months old already. but hey… you’re different.
We’re going for a 4d/3n holiday soon… at swiss garden in damai laut. It’s gonna be your second holiday destination. The first were in Penang and Hatyai. We were going to Hatyai for a holiday (for mommy and kids it was a holiday – but work for Daddy) actually… but stayed over night in Penang just to rest.
We’ll take lots of photos so you’ll have something to see when you grow up… yeah? Okay girl, good night. Sleep well…for tomorrow will be another exciting day!
(I forgot… you’ve been to Genting Highlands twice for 3/2n trip. So Damai Laut would be your 4th holiday destination.)

Dear Schenker,
Last night when you’re talking to daddy (I just overheared it)… you said you wanna be a doctor when you grow up. I stopped whatever I was doing and asked you again… making sure I was hearing it right. And once again, you said the same thing. Then I asked you what the doctor does… and you said, to check mommy… hehehe. that was neat… you wanna be a doctor so you can do mommy’s check up.
That means daddy must work harder… and mommy must pray harder. Hahaha. I think praying is more powerful than working hard… what do you think? Hmmm… on the other hand… if you just pray and you don’t do anything.. it’s useless also. So… both are equally important. We work hard and pray hard… and God will surely answer our prayers and make us fruitful in what we do. Maybe, I should say like this instead: Daddy and Mommy will have to work and pray hard… so we can send you to medical school. Voila! I finally made it right.
You actually bumped your face on the table. Had to put something cold on it. But you also hate that. I did a little bit only. When you woke up this morning, I saw a blue-black mark on your face. Sorry boy. I should have taken that stupid box away from you, knowing it’s dangerous to play .. or rather dangerous to use it as a chair. Sometime, I can’t help but let you play with all those things coz you use it for pretend play… like the cover of that box… you said you wanna take a motorbike ride.. and you used it and said: look mommy, this is my motorbike! and the box itself.. you said it’s your chair. Sigh. Anyways… you also lear from this kind of experience. Painful experience though… but sometimes it’s worth it so you’d know.
Okay boy, I hope the mark will go off soon. really feeling sorry for you.
love you!
