Wow it's been a while

and I've been a little preoccupied.

It seems like just yesterday when we were bringing The Girl home from the maternity ward and she is now just turning One. Compared to her, The Son is an oasis of calm. The Girl, at the age of One, is already a night owl and learning to run and climb before she can even walk properly. She can scream and scold without learning to talk. She sleeps at midnight, almost every night, and I'm embarrassed to say I almost always fall asleep before she does.

This has led to many many good intentions to spend time on Photoshop which have not materialised. By now, I should be able to achieve a good BW conversion but I still can't. As at the current date, there are easily 10,000 photographs which require my Photoshop attention but which may never get it since I take new photographs all the time!!!!

Have been meaning to post her Milestones but have been putting it off for various reasons. Here it goes:

1. Flipped over early (3 months?), started crawling at 4 months, starting standing at 5.5 months (supported).

2. Started walking (with support) shortly after the 6-month mark, and began walking independently (albeit clumsily) 3.5 weeks before her 1st birthday.

3. Can say Mama, Baba and a few other words, has been able to for some time now, but refuses to attempt anything else. WILL NOT repeat after me, which I think is the root of the problem. The Son managed to learn many, many more words at this stage by being a little more compliant.

4. Can pick out and identify items and animals (Tiger, Horse, Camel, Elephant, Dinosaur, Giraffe, Dolly, Rabbit, ...) upon request. Sometimes she points with her finger, sometimes she points with a great fat foot. But usually she gets it right, to thunderous applause from the fans.

5. Looks like a WWF wrestler "Big Show" when she wears her sleeveless tank top Onesies.

6. Seems to be bigger and fatter than her brother was at her age. Also much more aggressive.

7. Really likes books. Messes up all the piles of books we set aside for her looking for her few favorites.

8. Teeth are taking their time to show up. Currently there are only 2 lower front teeth, and 1/4 of 2 upper front teeth.

9. Allergic to sea bass. Heavens to Betsy!

  14. The Global Socks Market size was valued at USD 42.2 billion in 2018. The rising importance of maintaining formal attire among white-collar professionals on a global level is expected to play a crucial role in expanding the utility of socks. This, in turn, is expected to boost market growth in the coming years.

  16. I love the way you put your points. Thank you. Did you know that the first law of thermodynamics is that energy cannot be created or destroyed? While this law is always true, energy can be transformed from one type to another. Heat can be changed into kinetic (moving) or latent/potential (stored) energy. Thermodynamics uses P-V-T (pressure, volume, and temperature) diagrams to model these transformations. Get Thermodynamics Tutor
