Has it really been seven weeks since Nora came to our lives?

Sometimes it feels like only yesterday that I was in the hospital going to and fro from the recovery ward to the neonatal unit for news that she’s OK and getting impatient about going home.

Time does fly!

Nora has now perfected her Klingon/Ferringhi look. Oh yes… she can frown for Britain and Malaysia! She also loves to check her vocal chords limit!

But yesterday… we actually have minutes and minutes of baby conversation and she actually smiled! I think she’s just practicing and I can’t wait for her eyes to light up when she smiles!

Reading through some books and listening to other parents stories make me worry that Nora is not developing certain traits at the pace that is expected. But I keep reminding myself that every baby is different and I should really enjoy the moments that we have rather than worrying because it passes by when I’m not looking.

Soon she’ll be a teenager and I’ll be wishing for all the frowning and crying back…
