19 Months Old

My dearest Chloe,
Today you are 19months old. Another milestone not only for you .. my princess .. but for mummy too.
You are such a precious little thing…….. so funny.. and so cute.. most times….but you are also so clingy of late.. and even more so.. when daddy is home.
I love the way .. you eat your chocolates… and udon from a chopstick… sometimes.. you even play a good girl in the store.. by sitting on one of the shelves .. and wait for your chocolate to be handed to you.

You have grown so tall….. and reaching for things that you want from the kitchen table now. You are also so gibberish these days.. like you are asking us questions after questions.
The things you do sometimes.. just sents me and daddy laughing so hard.. like using a remote.. and trying to change channels .. or pulling both our hair/head .. so that you can see mummy and daddy kissing each other.
You’ve become so brave now.. that you wanna dash out onto the road…. when we are about to leave in the car… sending daddy into a frenzy.. trying to catch you before you reach the road.
You still do not sleep well at nite at 19months.. and even feeding you with more milk before you sleep doesn’t help put you to sleep the whole nite….. you still wanna wake up and have some more milky. And if mummy is the one waking up wtih you .. you are so clingy.. and refuses to sleep for at least an hour or more.
But never mind… mummy love you so much.. sweetheart… that all the deprivation of sleep is nothing… but sweetheart.. mummy want you to sleep thru’ the nite.. for your sake.. not only mine.. because you do need lots of sleep.. so that you can be healthy. You only take an hour and a half nap these days…. and you still refuses to go into your stroller.. so daddy have to bring you out for drives.. just to get you to go down for a nap. And today.. you refused to nap.. and tried to nap at 8pm and mummy had to wake you up .. so that you can sleep at a normal time tonite.
But you always behave yourself.. when you are outta the house.. and in the mall but when you are at the store.. or home.. you become really clingy and demanding and not allow mummy to do anything.
You are such a joy to visit for our customers .. when you are at the store.. for customers would plant heaps of praises for you.. from being pretty to cute.. and smart to chatty. Everyone thinks that you are such a smart and pretty kid and so healthy looking they say.
Today .. you had a plateful of udon and chicken with broccoli and no baby food for lunch . .but you took an hour to finish your lunch.. but that’s ok.. as long as you are trying to eat big gal’s food.. mummy will have all the patience to feed you .
My dear daughter, as i watch you grow everyday….. you bring so much joy into my life… and i thank God every single day for you .. and strive to be a better person for you.. my princess. I want you to know that .. nothing is more important to me. .than you are .. Chloe. And that you are loved by everyone.. daddy, grammie, grampie.. and of course mummy.. and everyone in the family.
Keep growing healthy everyday.. my princess.

Love,
Mummy
