sit up

at 7.5 months, chloe is able to sit up by herself.  she can even pull herself into a standing position by pulling and holding on to... well... my cloth or my bra... lol

here she's chewing bryan's eye cream.

no empty promises from mom

alan cried so badly last night, and this morning, he told me it was because he was scared that i would leave him.

dear baby alan, i wanted so much to tell you that i would never leave you, but i couldn't.  i couldn't give you empty promises that i was unable to fulfil.

you will grow up and leave me to lead your own life, and mom will one day leave you in this world to pass to the one beyond.

but please always know this, my baby, that my love will always be with you.
