A wrinkle in time...

I think I may have lost about 2 months of my (and the little sprog's) life. Last I remember, he was 6 months old, just starting on solids and trying with all his might to "commando crawl". Suddenly the emails from babycenter marking his weekly development and progress show 8 months, week 3. *panics*

There was a time when I was wishing the weeks would go by faster. I couldn't wait for the little sprog to start smiling, to giggle and laugh, to actually acknowledge that I'm trying to make a joke instead of giving me an odd look everytime I hide behind a *insert inane object in hand here* and jump out at him exclaiming PEEK-A-BOO! Now, I'm seriously considering duck-taping him to the wall. In a matter of seconds he's somewhere he shouldn't be, doing something he shouldn't have.



I recently bought Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner wanting to look up new recipes for his porridge and it says he's old enough to have loads of grown up stuff in his daily meals! For all I know, they're already feeding him steak and potatoes at daycare while I cautiously (STILL!) spoon him baby rice cereal on the weekends. So tonight I put chicken in his porridge. *sigh*

Mr. Mine has announced he's taking us to Singapore for Christmas! First family holiday ever. He's excited about taking the little sprog to the zoo. (I suggested the night safari, but he pointed out that the little sprog would be asleep - Haha!) Hey, we might even go swimming with the pink dolphins!

Christmas Eve is also our 2nd year anniversary (for which I've received my present but have yet to figure out how to post entries from it). Carrot pants aka My Psychotic-Multiple Personality-Boss is away for Haj this month which made me realise the time loss. Anxiety is creeping back in slowly with the thought of her return. If Haj has not managed to change her for the better (I wonder if they give out chill pills in Makkah), then I will have to actively start working on finding another position. I'm not about to lose anymore of my time/life with the little sprog. Time goes by so fast when you're not living it and suddenly Zara Safeena is celebrating her first birthday. I have lost 2 months of the little sprog's life and I won't allow myself to be caught by surprise when he blows out that first candle.
