Hi, my name is Mel and I'm crazy. *crowd replies*,"Hiiii Mel"


Lol… sorry just wanted to be random. You won't believe how much I've missed blogging! No one can say I didn't try though. It's just unbelievable when internet isn't free. so let's talk. How've you guys been?! Me?! Oh, I've been awesome. I can't tell you how much becoming a mother has changed me. I would do anything for this beautiful angel in my life. Boy has she grown! Did I mention that she's walking on her own now? Yes I said it! Aiko is fully mobile! At 9 and a half months even!


I've gotta tell you how it happened though! So Aiko started standing up at about 5 months old. Walking with support by 7 months. Crawling between 6 months and the present time and just last Friday( November 16th, 2012), she took her first unsupported steps to freedom and independence! I was both shocked and SHOCKED! Hehehehehe.. So every night before we go to sleep, Aiko and I usually spend the evening watching TV with my brothers in their room and Friday night was no different. Well, except the fact that Aiko was still up at 22h00. Anyhu, I decided that it was time for us to go to bed since TV was boring at this time and we had to be up early the next day. Seeing as my room is right next to my brothers' room, it isn't much of a distance there. As I was still talking to Guy, Aiko noticed Jean( my youngest brother) at the computer fast asleep. It wasn't him that enticed her though, it was the light from the computer. At the time, she was standing and holding onto my leg. Without warning she let go and started walking towards Jean, I turned around to look at her and thought I was dreaming because right there before my eyes was a walking 9 month old! I was like huh?! She took a few steps before falling flat ion her bum and giving herself a round of applause. It took my brain a very long time to even compute what on earth was going on! Hehehehehe.. Once I did compute, I went buck! I was so excited I ran up and down the house telling everyone what had just happened. My dad was beaming. My brothers looked like death and Aiko was just smiling at me. Lol… I didn't care though. I saw my daughter's first steps!


Ever since then all she wants to do now is walk, crawl and make as much noise as possible but I don't care. She's put me on a high that no one can take me down from for a while! I love it!
