Baby Olivia turns 1 year old!

Whoa, my little baby has turned 1 year old!

From a tiny teeny newborn whose sole abilities were to eat, sleep and pop, to an active baby who now understands my words and gestures, you have changed by leaps and bounds.

You have brought me immense joy, along with with tears, fatigue and sleep deprivation. You have also taught me patience.

Whilst taking care of a baby is never an easy job, you are definitely more difficult than many babies. I had to sleep sitting up each night for what seemed like an agonising eternity, just so you could sleep soundly. When I put you in the car seat, you screamed and wailed relentlessly, making long road trips unbearable for me. You rejected to be spoon-fed soon after you started eating solids, only wanting to self-feed the food you like. Slowly but surely, my patience has paid off. I can now happily sleep on my back and also put you in the car seat without having to suffer ringing in my ears.
