Emilia suddenly started walking a lot more than before. The day care also told me that she was walking all day long today.
(By the way, at 0:24, that is her blowing a kiss)
Emilia was born on May 31, 2011, at 25 weeks and 5 days in gestational age. She came home on October 21, 2011 after spending 143 days in the hospital. Today she's a thriving, happy baby who continues to amaze us every single day. This blog records the journey of our miracle baby.

16 months update
Well, I cannot believe I didn't write anything for 2 months. I should have at least posted some Christmas photos, but life at home is getting busier and busier as Emilia becomes more mobile.
She had bouts of cold and last week she got roseola, which gave her a high fever for several days and then rashes when the fever was gone. Between me and my husband, we had to miss work for 4 days in total. Having to excuse myself from work AND staying home with an ill child - not excting at all....
Emilia started walking few steps at a time in November and eventually few steps became 10, and then 20, depending on her mood. Well, she is still not 100% walking, but she "chooses" to walk rather than crawl a lot of times and that's a good sign. She seems to acquire new skills everyday. The day care is planning to move her to the toddler room pretty soon. I think as soon as she can walk with more confidence, she will move to the toddler room.
Speech/language-wise, she is talking constantly but in a language only she can understand. However, today she greeted her daddy with "hi". She also said "hi" on the phone to her grandpa. How exciting! I guess this is what parents are - becoming so thrilled about every little thing their child learns and does.
And last, but not least, I am blessed that Emilia is still a great eater. I have never seen a toddler who loves eating this much.

Update (that is long overdue)
I have been too tired and too lazy to post on this blog since September. Not that I have nothing to talk about Emilia but it was so hard to make myself sit in front of the computer.
Emilia's bed time is around 7 pm, which gives me only about a 2 hour window to get out of the office and pick her up, make dinner, play with her, bathe her, read stories, and put her down in the crib. The good thing about early bedtime is I get to have some quiet, free time to myself after 7:30pm.
She really enjoys the day care. I can see that she likes the care provider and the other kids. These days, even after we get ready to leave the day care centre, she often goes back to play with the toys or other babies.
She does not walk yet, although she cruises and stands unsupported. She is now 14 months corrected so I try not to be concerned but I often wish she could walk so that I don't need to carry her when we are outside. She weighs over 25 pounds and is getting too heavy for me. She walks well when I hold her hands.
These days she does not spend much time playing with her toys. Her biggest interest is observing what grown-ups do and imitating the actions. For example, she like combing her hair in the morning while I blow dry my hair. When I put on make-up, she also picks up a body lotion tube and pretends she squeezes cream out of it and rub it on her face. She likes to open drawers and take everything out just to put it back in the drawer and close it. It is amazing how fast babies pick up and mimic. Also watch this video of her playing in the kitchen.
Since starting the day care, she's been having a runny nose, almost non-stop for two and a half months. I am really tired of seeing her with a constant runny nose (yellow, gooey stuff0. Her upper respiratory system is a little bit congested as well. We took her to her doctor but he was not half concerned. He said it's a very typical story of a baby who just started day care. We are visiting again next Thursday for immunization, so I will ask him to listen to her chest. I cannot understand how she can be sick coninuously for over 2 months - shouldn't her immune system start working by now?
