At exactly 11 months

I don't usually do this, write two posts in a day. I mean, our days aren't that exciting for me to run to my laptop and post twice. But today is an exception.

After writing my first post this morning, I had decided to stay home with Sera. I was running a low grade fever and my body was aching all over. I suspect the extreme Summer heat is taking its toll on me so I shall stay indoors for a while till I feel better. Anyway, I'm sure I speak for many mothers who have to look after their children even when they are sick ... it is no fun! And Sera was no angel today.

The things that Sera didn't do today ...

1. She didn't sleep till 8am, despite waking up twice in the early morning
2. She didn't finish her peanut butter sandwich for breakfast
3. She didn't take her morning nap till noon time
4. She didn't finish her lunch, which I had so lovingly cooked for her. Five pieces of macaroni!!!!! Geesh ... come on, Sera!

Ok in case you're wondering why the need for this second post? Nothing exceptional so far ... well, be patient. I'm trying to build up some suspense here, the climax of this post is coming! Hold your horses ok.

Here it comes ...

The thing that Sera DID DO today ...

SHE WALKED!

Yes, Sera took her first steps, about six tiny steps towards me. I was literally stunned for about 3 seconds after she fell into my arms. And then, as if I couldn't believe my eyes, I immediately got her to repeat the walk for me ... oh, about five times over. Ha ha. I couldn't help but scoop her up, embrace her, swing her around. I was one es tactic mama!

So ... that's the reason for this second post. It was very necessary, you see.

I know ... yet another photo of SERA. Enough already .... And what's with all the polka dots??????

Clap...clap...clap! Sera's walking!! The best reward for being a full-time mum, we'll never miss their firsts. :) Sera, you look really cute in that blue tankini.
