Sha in a nutshell

Well...not exactly "in" a nutshell because he wouldn't quite fit anymore!

Sha updates:

- Sha rolls everywhere. He grunts and growls and pushes himself until he can reach his way to his toy. Most preferably, his rubber ducky, which is the toy du jour.

- Sha can sit up!!! Yippee! All by himself for long stretches at a time. He has impressed his physiotherapist and the occupational therapist. All of those appointments have paid off!

- Sha loves avacados and hummus. Yummy. We are trying to "fatten him up" and our baby food has been changed to some very interesting food groups. Interesting fact: A medium-sized avocado contains 30 grams of fat, as much as a quarter-pound burger. Ma has been internet surfing to increase her knowledge of fattening foods that can be fed to an infant. Who knew there were so many choices?!?

- Sha ate a rice rusk! After one heart stopping (Ma's not Sha's!) choking session (a few weeks back), Sha tried a rice rusk and LOVED it!!

- Sha had his one year needle today. Eek! But our pediatrician made it all better by saying how sorry he was that he had to hurt Sha. Awwwww. I love that guy. And he gave us the referral to ENT!!!!!!!! Mission accomplished.

- Sha has now reached 7.3 kg.

Happy Birthday!

Dear Sha,

Happy birthday!

Thank you for teaching me so many lessons in the past year.

Life, growth, happiness, sadness, joy, grief, fear, anger, fun, adventure, learning, and time.

You were exactly what I needed.

Love,
Ma
