Time to sleep. Playtime is over! Quick, bid everyone goodnight.

At slightly over 2 months old, Grace was babbling quite a bit. It's like dictation where she will baby talk for us to scribe. And now, at 3 months old, her neck and back are strong enough to allow her to sit up on the sofa, though she still requires some support. Looking at her physique, I think she's going to be a tall gal when she grows up.

A little person is starting to emerge too. She recognises voices, faces and places now. Despite bringing her out regularly and exposing her to people, she’s beginning to show her preferences. Only Dad, Mum and Grandma are allowed to carry her, and she’s the happiest at home. Grace is generally a cheery and playful girl who grins a lot in her sleep, and when she’s awake, she squeals with delight easily.

Grace has brought our family a new meaning. The word "us" now has even more committment and dedication as we journey together. We will seek to educate each other (not just her, though she should feature more prominently), to grow to become better people, and to be role models.

To our dear daughter who may read this one day, all we want for you, is happiness. And while I am at it, there are actually many more very desirable adjectives (like creativity, intellectual ability, prosperity... and the list goes on) that we will want you to have too.

Grace has a new addition to her toys recently – A swimming tub!! She enjoys kicking and splashing in the water tremendously. Swimming at an early age is purported to benefit babies physically, mentally and intellectually. However, the hidden agenda is to expend her energy. Somehow, the water therapy calms her down and she sleeps really well after a swim. This actually kills two birds with one stone. It gives us a breather and lets us have a few moments of peace in the evening while she has fun! Keke... = P
