Happy 7 months old, dear baby Ansel! ❤
Today, you turn seven months old and you flashed your wide, toothless grin at me, like how you do umpteen times every day, when I took a photo of you.
It's been a month of gastronomic adventure and discovery with you in the past month. Let's see, your favourite food for now includes avocado, banana, pear and pumpkin but you've also tried potato, carrot, blueberries, apple, fish, chicken, sweet potato, brown rice, cereal and more! That's not bad for your introductory month of having solids, right? Although it makes me more exhausted having to cook your meals separately from ours daily, that bright smile of yours makes it all worthwhile.
You are also getting good at sitting down on your own though you tend to lose balance and fall over after some time. Haha. Like the previous months, you have been drooling and munching on your fingers incessantly but you have yet to cut your first tooth, so let's just wait patiently for now yeah.
Your sisters say you are very chubby and I think so too, you might just be the chubbiest one of the lot. It is a heartening thing to know because, like me, you are a preemie but I am relieved to see that you are gaining weight steadily. We love seeing your baby rolls and oh, you are easily tickled and will laugh and laugh when it happens.
We went for your vaccinations earlier this month and you were totally a trooper - your cries lasted merely 1 or 2 seconds despite having a jab on each thigh. That said, I think it's because I was there to comfort you and for now, judging by how you reach out for me or whine whenever I walk away, there is no doubt that you love me deep deep.
But you know what? That is not even a fraction of how much I love you. I can't even describe it but you are my world, or rather, our world because your siblings love you to the moon and back too.
Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in our lives and cheering us up every single day - something which we truly need during these gloomy times. Looking forward to more happy days stuck with you 24/7, my darling boy! ❤

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death
你欲奪走我的生命，我也將奪走你的
你想用你的毛瑟對我開槍，但我將從你身上碾過
所以你在等待下次攻擊時
你最好有心理準備，因為你無法回頭
號角響起，突擊開始了
但在這戰場上是沒有贏家的
刺鼻的硝煙味和馬兒們的呼吸聲交雜
我投入了這生死一線間的地方
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race toward the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day
馬兒帶著恐懼流汗，我們開始向前衝刺
一路上伴隨著俄國槍支的怒吼
當我們急速撞上人牆時，耳旁傳來我的弟兄們陣亡前痛苦的慘叫聲
我們艱辛的跨過地上的屍體繼續往前衝
然而俄國人再次對我們開火
我們離敵人如此近，卻又感覺敵人遙不可及
我們已沒有機會活命參加下次戰鬥了
We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
敵我之間的距離已經近到足以直接交戰了
當我進入一個俄國士兵的視線時
他對我扣下板機，我感覺到子彈在爆炸
爆炸的威力使我的馬兒翻倒在地
當我躺在地上仰望天空時
我的身體已經麻木了，而且我的喉嚨乾燥
當我孤零零的被遺忘在戰場上時
沒有流淚，我嚥下了最後一口氣
背景:
這首歌描述的是1854年克里米亞戰爭中一場名為Balaclava的戰役。克里米亞戰爭的爆發原
因是鄂圖曼土耳其帝國的衰弱， 俄國想要從其手上爭奪通向地中海的港口及巴爾幹半島的
控制權，因此進攻鄂圖曼土耳其，而這正是英國跟法國所不願見到的， 深怕俄國勢力出了
地中海後會威脅到他們在該地區的利益， 因此聯合正需要盟友來協助統一義大利的薩丁尼
亞王國一起幫助鄂圖曼土耳其帝國對抗俄國的侵略， 戰場主要則是在黑海上的克里米亞半
島。這場戰爭的死傷非常慘重，共約50多萬人死亡， 鐵媽選擇這場戰爭做為主題來譜寫此
曲，也充分體現了他們的反戰精神。
