Weekends..

Now, we spend our weekends visiting our parents and in-laws, instead of usual weekdays. And of course both families are really excited whenever they see Caleb and always comment about how he has changed and put on weight.

Janine was around and as usual, she was very hyper-- running everywhere and keeping herself entertained. It just brought to my mind about the thoughts of parents during the different stages of the child's development.

I believe every stage of development has its advantages and disadvantages. When we are pregnant, we wish the baby would come out quick to relive us of the weight and the kicking. When the baby is born, we wish they would grow up faster and be able to focus,support their head and wake up more to be able to play. When they can play, we wish they can learn to walk. And when they can walk, we wish they can not walk so much as it is draining our energy chasing them and wish more that they can learn to talk. And when they can talk, we wish they would shut up...The list goes on and on...

And right now Caleb is at the stage that we wish he can play with us. Newborns tend to sleep more and cry so much more because they cannot communicate. But of course, most parents would tell me-enjoy while you can before they get all active and then, you will start to regret. Oh well...the grass is always greener on the other side.

Here is my active niece, Janine keeping herself entertained as she climbed up to the piano chair to join her daddy.



And here is my sleepy Caleb putting his foot on daddy..
