Happy 6th Birthday, Wakaba!!!

My Dear Sweet Wakaba,

We wanted you before you were born and when a 3, 518 grams healthy baby girl was held into our arms on June 7, at exactly 6:25 PM , we named you Wakaba. I could still remember that during your first month check-up, you didn' t gain much weight compared to other babies that worries me and I changed from breastfeeding ( even though I have too much of it ) to instant formula for the thought that you' re not getting enough milk from me but you didn' t like the feeling of to be bottle- fed and so I continue to breastfeed you and WHOA! You almost tripled your weight during your second monthly check- up! Now I have learned something from it--- you have your own pace of growing up. And since you and I is always together, I am lucky enough to see you in your ' firsts ' of your milestone and I could say that you are just perfectly healthy!

When your sister Haruka arrived to our home, it was my first time to feel that bringing up a kid is isn' t that easy--- there is one incident that striked me out coz you feel some jealousy because all of our attention is isn' t to you but I' m glad it wasn' t too late for me to realize when you asked me ' Wakaba no kotto suki? ' ( do you like me? ) while looking at Haruka. A simple question that touched my heart to change and learn. Did you feel how much I hugged you at that time?

As years gone by, the two of you get along together well and sometimes the two of you are now ' partners in crime ' but you' re always there for Haruka to defend your lil sister from some naughty kids ( and so are you, too! ) at school. Hindi lahat ng heroes ay lumilipad, ika nga! ^_^

Ang bilis ng panahon, you are now 6 years old --- thank you so much for coming into our life, giving smiles to our faces and adding colours to our life. And I hope you' ll stop teasing me for having a X-cXp size but since you have your Dad' s DNA, I' ll have to give up on that! (T_T) Kidding aside, I love you, my sweet Wakaba! ^_^

With Love,
Mama
