Sophie turns two today. It feels great to know that I have done a pretty decent job raising her so far. She was only 2.67 kg when she was born 2 years ago, but today she is 90 cm tall and around 12 kg. Sometimes when I look at her, I cannot believe she is actually my daughter. I must have done something really good in my life to have deserved a little girl like her.
Sophie has a wonderful sense of humor, a really vivid imagination and a relentless approach to problem-solving. She is also very affectionate and compassionate towards others, especially her grandparents. Everything else seems less important. The fact that she still does not self-feed or fall asleep on her own without her milk bottle and my little pinky.
We kept her birthday celebrations simple this year. Today, Ah Gong and Ah Mah came over with her birthday cake and two helium balloons after her nap. She went absolutely crazy with the balloons, especially since they were of her favourite Disney characters (Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell). She almost could not let go of them! She was also very excited about the birthday cake and candles. She really enjoyed blowing off the flames on the candles. Together with the new bicycle that Ah Gong has bought for her, she looked all grown-up and ready to hit the road.
After that, we headed to Auntie KK's place for a Christmas gathering. Although we did not intend to throw Sophie a birthday party, we thought it would be nice for us to bring a cake. In the end, everyone still got her birthday presents. Many thanks to Auntie KK, Auntie Jessy, Auntie Pei Ee, Uncle Andy, Auntie Jean, Auntie Annie for the wonderful gifts. I was so tickled that most of the gifts are Crayola art materials. I think they are meant for me, not Sophie!
