The baby IS cute!

Posted in Family

I know I am biased but our 6th blessing is really a cutie pie! Ok - when she's not bawling in my ear or waking up countless times in the middle of the night!

But it is amazing how she is able to charm the whole family with her antics and her totally cheeky grins. No matter how annoying she has been, her siblings adore her to bits. Every night, each will give thanks to the Lord that she is "very cute".

Someone with one child would tend to assume that by the time one has her 3rd or 4th or in our case, the 6th baby, mom and dad gets a bit jaded. But I can honestly tell you that it is not the case. Truly the person who said "love multiplies" is a wise one indeed.

I just can't help melting at her first smile, her first chuckle, her first everything! It still amazes me that the antics the 6th child gets up to can still make us smile as though she's our first.

Dh is similarly charmed. The moment she hears his keys jangling at the door, she drops everything and crawls to him and woe to him should he not acknowledge her presence immediately. She would protest loudly till he picks her up. And then she'd beam - triumphantly. Too cute!

Yes, having a large family is tiring and it would seemingly be easier if we had stopped at 2 children. But then I think of all the joy and sweetness we would have missed out on! Now if only the baby will sleep through the night.....................

Frankly, I've yet to be bowled over by any babies these days despite how cute they appear to be. Unfortunately, I've lost my naοvety.

Why would I miss her waking up??? No way man! I'd be thrilled to be able to sleep more than 2hrs at a stretch every nite! And even better is when she moves out of my room into the girls' room. Now that would be liberating! Lol!

And er...cute babies - I am not bowled over by other people's babies either. Only mine. Hahaha!

Hence I always want to burst out hysterically when strangers comment - oh you must like babies/children when they see me with all 6 of them.
