I suspect my beloved furry Mimi will start talking soon! It has been quite a challenging last month. My baby reached her sexual maturity, to my surprise, when she was only 5 months. I rescued her when she was 4.

For the first time in my life, I got what the new parents among my friends described to me when it comes to their sleepless nights! It was exhausting, to say the least, given her agitation was at its peak during the night.

As a desperate trial to distract her, I started playing with her like I would with a human kid! She began with standing up, and I captured the moment while giggling! The next step will be talking in all likelihood.

And, since her Mom loves dancing, she might surprise me with having some moves as well at some point, who knows, right?
