1999

Dearn friends,
Now comes the holiday season again. I wish everyone has a happy and
exciting holiday! Have something different this year. Maybe,..., a new
baby :-) A few friends of mine are either pregnant or had a baby this
month.
Last year, Katie was born at this time. Now she is one year old.
She can walk, so our entire home is her playground. She investigate every
drawer and cabinets she can reach and open. Paper is still her ultimate
fun, including toilet paper! She has eight teeth. She lost some baby fat,
because activity level increases. Katie was sick for a few days last week.
These two days she sleeps 12-14 hours a day and eats a lot to gain back the
weight. At one year checkup, her height was still above 95% of babies, but
her weight droped tp 85-90%. When she is hungry or wants something, she
will say a serial of "MaMa". Anyway, her thumb is her biggest comfort.
Above all, she is our joys and trouble-maker.

Again, wish all of you have a wonderful time at the end of 20th
century! And a promising 21st century!

Don't you miss those days? I'm giving out baby stuff because I'll never need them again and alas, was it sad!

Yes, I do miss the feeling of holding a baby. At one point, I was wondering whether or not I would be used to sleeping without Minda as she had slept with me for four years. Although her nightly itching was bothersome, I still loved to watch her face and listen to her snores.
