1 Year Old

Elisha is 1 year old now!! I can't believe time flies so fast, as I still remember my pregnancy, labouring, and the 1st look at her! I've been gone through very much in this year as a newly mom, and I believe she's been gone through a lot too! It's not easy to be a parent, especially a good parent, as I am always think I am not good enough.
I've never been thought of being a mom until 2 years ago, and honestly I was not ready to be a mom when I gave birth to Elisha. Even now, sometimes I doubt if I am fully ready to be a mom, especially when I under stress or come across any transition period because of her. However, I am certain that I won't give her up or let her down (although I have a second thought about it when I am so frustrated :P) as she is the most precious gift God ever given to me! He's chosen me to be a mom and He leads me to walk through the parenthood. He protects Elisha from getting sick (she's been sick once in 11 months!), from getting hurt (physically and psychologically, especially from me, haa!). He loves Elisha very much and she can see his love through the love of parents, grandparents, relatives, and aunties and uncles (sometimes I want to be her! haa!!). He makes her grow and develop normally (we can't take it for granted!)
As a mom, I want to see her grow but I also miss her as a baby! I love to pick her up and hold her in my arms (pray that I will have good strength to do it as she is heavier and heavier!), I love to kiss her whenever I want (when she gets older, she will not allow me to do it whenever I like! so sad!) I love to tug her in the bed, as we are so close and so sweet! (I believe she enjoys it too! :) ) I love to play with her and see her enjoying it! (She will prefer to play with her friends when she grows up) So I will treasure the moments and grab all the opportunities to do all the above things as much as possible before I no longer can do it.
I am thankful that my parents and mother-in-law help me a lot in taking care of Elisha when Denis and I are busy or need some free time for ourselves. I can't miss to thank Denis to be such a great father to Elisha (well, sometimes I am jealous his love to Elisha! haa!). His enjoyment to be a father gives Elisha a lot of love and laugh! His understanding and love to me give me strength and support to be a caring and loving mom (I wish he also enjoys to be my husband even under some kind of stress from me :P)
Now Elisha is 1 year old, and I agree with Denis that we need to teach her lessons and knowledge and I pray that God gives us wisdom to teach her. The most important thing is that we need to teach her to know the love of God and she will follow the path of God!
