1st Birthday part 2

Dear Yasmin,

Today you are ONE!!

One year ago today, mommy gave birth to you. You were tiny and beautiful when you arrived. Daddy was happy to have heard your first cry, saw you first open your eyes in the delivery room. Mommy gave you your first hug just minutes after you came into this world.

One year later, today, you are a happy, healthy, beautiful little girl. You can sit, you can crawl, you can stand, and cruise around. Very soon you will be able to walk and talk.

You are still feeding on mommy's breast, although you've started eating porridge with fish, veg and meat. Your favourite snack is bread and sweet potato.

Every morning when you wake up, you look for daddy, and give a loud shot of joy when daddy pick you up and take you out to play. This is our special moment everyday. Sometimes, daddy bring you down to have a walk, sometimes, daddy bring you to the market to see all the different colors of veg, fish, fruit. You love looking at tomatoes, bellpeppers and eggplants. You also love touching them feeling the different texture of their skins. Sometimes you will hold them so tight, we have to bring the tiny eggplant and bellpeppers home and you'd play with them all day.

We visit grandma and grandpa everyday, they love hugging you, bring you to the garden and show you birds, and cats and dogs. Grandpa almost everyday carry you in his
arms when you fall asleep for 1 hour.

You can give high five to daddy, clap your hands when you are happy, bow your hands to say thank you, give fly-kisses and shake your head when you don't want something.

When you grow up and look at what daddy has written, you'll know how much you have grown from a helpless bundle into a pretty little girl. I also hope you will know how much daddy and mommy and the whole family love you.

This morning we went to the temple to give thanks to Buhdda and Kwan Yim for watching over you and to seek blessings for our whole family. You imitated daddy and mommy and kneeled down and bow your hands to Buhdda and Kwan Yim.

Mommy bought a beautiful cake for you and we cut the cake with grandma and grandpa after dinner!
Daddy
