The first time I saw her, her tito was cuddling her. A slip of a girl, very cute in her pink sleeveless baby tee. I was excited at the sight of her, but just a little wary coz I knew she was yet too small and I’m quite scared of holding infants for fear that their soft necks might snap at my arms. Yes! I am a little crazy noh?
But to my surprise, this 3 month old baby can proudly hold her head already. Wow! I didn’t know babies are such fast learners these days? Or maybe, it’s Japan? Or possibly the Baby Plus gadget my best friend used to strap to her bulging tummy? Of course to my friend, it’s the genes! Kanino, I asked? Nicky ovbiously looked like the bald headed love of my bestfriend’s life. Nic!!! How could you be the split image of a baby girl? Ayaw!!!! And then the little princess broke into a huge smile at my tirade. And to my surprise, the baby looks like my amie after all. Sige baby, smile ka na lang parati hahaha
Nicky is a curious baby. The way she looked at me and Jenny, she must be thinking "who are these noisy women fussing over me and taking over my Nanay’s attention". Well baby, we are your Tita’s and you don’t have a choice in the matter. The ones who think nothing about meddling in your Nanay’s affairs. The ones who will undoubtedly cheer you on when you try on your first make up set. The ones your Tatay is very wary of. Baka daw mahawa ka sa kaartehan namin. But no need to fear us little girl. Just by looking at you, the way you holler for milk, the way you demand for attention while having your milk, the way you are able to roll over at your age, I know you’re a handful! The world awaits for you. Hmmm it would be exciting to watch life unfolds for you.
