I've been thinking much about this.
Khale got a new puzzle mat from my in-laws, so Gab fixed the living room to give the little one a bigger space to roam. We've been wanting to get him some, but the tightness of our budget was so suffocating that we had to put off the thought a couple of times. Fortunately, his grandparents got him a set.
Thank you, Lord for Your provisions.
Two days ago, I sat on one end while my dear Popy was on the other. I opened my arms slightly to the front and said, "Come to mum".
He stood up, laughed and stomped a foot a few times. I encouraged him one more time and he started walking towards me. I hugged him.
Yesterday, while teaching breastfeeding to new mums and mums-to-be with my Breastfeeding Pinays Co-Counselors, I held a 6-week old baby girl, and I asked myself:
"Where has time gone?"
I looked at Khale this morning. I told him to hold on the rail; and he just looked at me, smiling and clapping his hands.
Nine months came and left so quickly.
He's big and tall and heavy. He talks so much. He sits and stands and wouldn't stop moving. He laughs a lot and loves being surprised.
I held his hand that afternoon; and I noticed his hands are bigger, his fingernails are longer.
Where has time gone, my love?
From being carried all the time to rolling to sitting to crawling to standing to walking...
From breastfeeding to sleep to sleeping on your own...
From cries to saying mum and bubba...
I wonder how much longer or shorter it would take for him to become a boy and then a man.
I pray he would still let me hold his hand when we walk together and let me hold his hand even when he has grown.
We've come such a long way... and I love him even more.

Me, in the middle holding a baby. Khale was further left, being independent and playing with a co-counselor's daughter.

Look, mum! No hands! - Khale
