		<description><![CDATA[Motherese Vol 2, Issue 3 Dearest Clare, Truth be told, when 2008 rolled along, I found myself riding a huge tidal wave of events and suddenly, time and energy is much more limited than before. So I find myself wanting to spend the spare bits physically with you, instead of writing about you. Which explains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motherese Vol 2, Issue 2 Dearest Clare, You&#8217;re now a 14 month old going to 14 year old. You are extremely cheeky this month, often doing things that you know will get a reaction out of your dad and I. As in the picture above, you love going for our shoes. The minute we turn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motherese Vol 2, Issue 1 Dearest Clare, Now that you&#8217;ve turned one, I feel like I&#8217;ve got a different kid altogether. You&#8217;ve stopped crawling entirely and would sometimes insist on walking on your own. It&#8217;s definitely a big relief for me most times because it makes it easier to carry things and it gives me [...]]]></description>

One year ago, at this time, I was nursing a fever while waiting for you to make your foray into this world. Gosh, it seems like it wasn&#8217;t that long [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t believe how fast time has flown, and the days certainly flew by much faster then during the time I was carrying you in my tummy. I look at you these days and realise that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motherese Vol 1, Issue 10 My dearest Clare, You&#8217;ve officially spent more time out of my womb than inside it now. I often think about the days when I called you Flipper (because we didn&#8217;t know your gender then and you flipped inside my tummy a lot) and am constantly amazed at how Flipper became [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motherese Vol 1, Issue 9 My dearest Clare, This month, you decided that you&#8217;ve just had about enough of being a little baby and became this tiny little person with the personality quirks you&#8217;ve displayed. Most notably, you&#8217;ve learnt to communicate you wanting something by staring at us and screaming away. We found that out [...]]]></description>

Everyday I look at you in amazement because I can&#8217;t imagine that eight months ago, I painfully squeezed your tiny self out of my body. You&#8217;re a big girl now &#8211; one who is able to sit [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t believe that you&#8217;re more than half a year old and in no time, we&#8217;d be celebrating your first birthday. In this seventh [...]]]></description>

This is the first time I&#8217;ll be away from you for more than 24 hours. I&#8217;m terribly excited with this opportunity [...]]]></description>
