Brie: Turning ONE in Two Weeks!
Oh my.
The baby in the family is turning ONE real soon! *yikes!*
Didn’t I just post newborn photos of her on my Facebook taken at the hospital?
Sigh. Too fast.
Okay, before she grows any faster (and my memory gets too rusty!), here’re some updates on our little girl:
– She cruises along well, holding onto furniture.
– She can let go and stand on her own quite well now. She took one wobbly step the other day!
– She has 6 teeth in total. Two at the top, four at the bottom.
– She likes to babble a lot as if she’s chatting away with us.
– She can wave ‘good bye’, and would move her body to the left and right when she listens to music or when we ask her to ‘dance’ =)
– She’s quite a fierce little girl who doesn’t let go off what she has in her hands. She’d grunt and shake her hands to keep the thing in her hands. And IF we manage to take it away, she’d scream and cry loudly, and often she’d approach us to try and see if she can still get it back.
– She has no stranger anxiety so far. She welcomes everyone who carries her, and she can fall asleep in the hands of someone else too.
– She can fall asleep on her own.
– She’s still breastfed and still rejects the idea of drinking formula from a bottle. Plan to introduce her to formula milk when she turns one. Perhaps she needs to be spoonfed. Or I may try to let her drink some from a straw cup (which she’s already using when she drinks water).
– She lost some weights when she had her first bouts of diarrhea and vomiting here in Jakarta last week, for a good 7 days (plan to blog about it separately).
– She started to have double eyelids somehow when she was unwell! =) And I thought she looked so different with two bigger eyes, hehe. Now that she’s back to her healthy self, the double eyelids have gone out the window too somehow =)
…
I can hardly believe that our baby Brie is turning one so soon!
I feel truly blessed to have been able to raise her day in and day out throughout her first growing up year though.
We love her so much and we hope when she’s all grown up, she’d look at this blog and see how she has a loving family, and how she’s wonderfully showered by God’s grace and love too. Every day.
Love you Brie!
…
PS: I plan to bake her first birthday cake. With utensils still in our boxes somewhere, err, wish me luck!

Happy birthday to little Brie in advance! She looks so pretty in that dress, and she looks very much like you. I like your photos. I wish I can take so nice photos like you
I can identify with you on the double eye-lid part. When my baby girl fell sick last year during a winter trip to China, she had diarrhea for a few days, and she also suddenly had double eye-lid. My explanation is it’s a result of her losing too much weight, so although she looked pretty on it I felt heart pain to see it
wishing Brie a wonderful 1st birthday ! She’s so cute and looks so much like you. Have a great day 🙂
Aww~~~ I also bear to see my baby growing fast. I understand the feeling especially they are the lastborn.
Tell me about it. Javier’s turning one too! Too fast, too fast. Hope she has a memorable ONE! Haha, and good luck with the cake, am sure it’ll turn out just fine. 🙂
she’s a little beauty, going to be as pretty as Anya 🙂 happy birthday Brie!
Congratulations to Brie who will be one in 2 weeks time! I remember seeing Brie after Baptism Day. Brie is growing quickly to be more healthy.
Wow.. time flies so fast. I’ve been following your blog since Brie was about 3 months. Now seeing her first, she has grown taller… and so adorable.
Wish you have a memorable 1st B’day, Brie!
Thanks Yenny … =D
