It doesnt seem like too long ago that Amanda was just a wee baby, when she could nary mutter a word and needed to be cuddled like a baby. Today, even those wobbly baby steps a thing of the past, she is growing up way too quickly for our liking. Just yesterday, I reminded the husband how Amanda is in her cutest phase ever and that we should really cherish these moments watching her grow up, taking note of every little funny action she does (which really is many).
My favourite is when she does this action of rolling her eyeballs sideways upwards with a really cheeky smile on her face. I honestly have no idea why she does that, perhaps her way of playing with us going by the amount of laughter that garners from us adults, but its so hilarious and endearing all at once.
It is also such a joy listening to her less than perfect linguistic abilities; ask her to tell you what a certain item is called, and she'd go 'ahhh cow', 'ahhh cup', 'ahhh ball'.. her ahhh is really 'a'. A cow, a cup, a ball.
Lately, this little strong charactered girl has even taken to putting the blame on her kor-kor whenever she does something wrong. "Amanda, did you pour the biscuits out?" we'd go and she'd look at us and say "Kor-kor do" pointing to her innocent brother, without batting an eyelid. Definitely a difficult one to handle, this little girl. Uh-oh.
So, she turns two in a week's time.. terrible twos or terrific twos? We've yet to find out, but either way, I'm pretty sure this little girl will charm her way through with us (kor-kor inclusive) with her cuteness. Mommy loves you so very much Amanda, and I hope you remain my little baby girl forever.
