My book "Melas Angels"--Betty's first year (7)

Betty's first year--continue (7)

Every morning, we took Betty and let her at the day-care center but without the baby bag now because the center took care of the diapers and clothes although we needed to bring the bottles of milk or baby food. The caregivers at the center thought Betty was very lovely, cute, and very tiny, just liked a doll. Everybody wanted to hug her.

When Betty was about 8 months old, we bought a baby walker. She could move her little feet and went around the house. She was so tiny that sometimes she moved underneath the table. It was very funny.

At one year old, Betty weighted only 13 lbs. Other babies of the same age started walking but Betty could only crawl. In fact, she didn’t take her first step until she was 18 months old. In her first year, it seemed that she had no serious illness. She looked normal – only she was so tiny.
