Chapter 408 - ONE YEAR
Alina Hailee Tordoff.
It was the name given to Hailee and Ramon\'s little daughter, and regarding the usage of Hailee\'s name as a middle name, it was a secret to both of them.
However, Lexus always teased Ramon by saying that his older brother could not be separated from his wife and loved her so much, until he would give each child the name Hailee, even if they had a son for their second child.
That was what Lexus always said when the journalists asked about the name of the Tordoff couple\'s first daughter who had the name Hailee.
On the other hand, Ramon and Hailee were very difficult to find or ask for information or just an interview. They both preferred to keep their lives very private.
Since not even a photo of their daughter was released in the mass media, this actually made the public curious who were so obsessed with seeing the face of the little daughter of the Tordoff family.
However, the tight security made it difficult for them to find more information.
=====================
In the first three months of the little baby being at home, Ramon and Hailee felt that reading all the books or parenting counseling and also the advice they had heard almost had no effect because reading theory and listening were completely different from experiencing it firsthand.
Hailee was even hit by the baby blues after the first two months of Alina\'s birth.
"We\'ll get through this together," Ramon whispered softly. "It\'s okay..." he said as he kissed Hailee\'s forehead and wiped her tears.
"I\'m not a good mother," Hailee sobbed. "I\'m not going to be a good mother." Tears flooded Hailee\'s face again.
Alina was breastfeeding well and fortunately Hailee\'s milk was also smooth and there were no problems.
However, Hailee had no time to fall asleep for a while peacefully because she was too tired to carry Alina and her sleeping hours were really messed up, therefore, their baby choked and cried so hard that her face turned red and Hailee felt very bad because of it.
It took Ramon a while to calm Hailee down.
And it wasn\'t just the first time, but there were times when Ramon found Hailee crying and kept saying she wasn\'t well.
But luckily it didn\'t last long, because after Alina turned seven months old and looked much stronger and started rolling around in bed cheerfully and was starting to respond to voices, Hailee\'s condition got much better.
Hailee tried to take care of Alina alone because she felt like she could be closer to her daughter, even though Ramon had prepared two babysitters to help his wife.
So was Ramon. The first thing he did in the morning was kiss Hailee and stare at his daughter\'s sleeping face.
Sometimes Alina would wake up in the middle of the night and Ramon would tell her things, as if the little baby could understand. Maybe she could understand what her father was saying, because the little baby would always smile and reach out her hand to grab Ramon\'s fingers, whenever she saw his father.
As for Lis and Lexus, the two of them didn\'t need to be questioned anymore, because they would always look for the little baby every time they entered Ramon and Hailee\'s house and wouldn\'t agree to let her go.
"Lexus, she\'s not wearing any diapers," Hailee told Lexus one morning as the man carried ten-month-old Alina.
The little baby had just woken up, but Hailee suspected that Lexus had disturbed her and woke her up, then carried her into the dining room, where they would have breakfast together.
Alina yawned and rested her head on Lexus\' chest, feeling comfortable in her uncle\'s arms, while stuffing all her fingers in her mouth.
"It\'s okay, Alina is a good girl," Lexus said with a laugh and kissed the top of Alina\'s head, which was now covered with hair thick enough for a baby her age. "She is my best friend! The best niece in the whole world!"
But, a moment later the expression on Lexus\' face changed and he let out a startled scream, making the little baby flinch in confusion from her sleep.
"She peed on my shirt!" Lexus exclaimed. "I have a meeting this morning!"
"I told you that she wasn\'t wearing any diapers," Hailee said, smiling happily at what her little daughter did to Lexus.
The expression on her brother-in-law\'s face was really cute.
Ramon immediately took his daughter who was confused to see uncle Lexus hysterical and gave it to one of the babysitters there so that they could change clothes and bathe the baby.
But, before that Ramon kissed the top of Alina\'s head and kissed both of her cheeks. "Smart girl," Ramon said and got a happy laugh from Alina, showing off her two little teeth that just grew.
After that, Ramon walked over to Hailee and kissed her lips, saying a few sweet words before he left.
"Ramon! Do not go yet! I have to change clothes! I must take a bath!" Lexus cried frantically.
However, Ramon turned around and said viciously, "If you\'re late for the meeting, I\'ll send you out of town." And then he added, "Don\'t wear my clothes."
Which meant, Lexus had to go home to change clothes, in that case, how could he not be late for the meeting later?
Whoops! Ramon just wanted to keep him away from Alina.
=====================
There were some things that Alina didn\'t seem to like and it was quite the opposite from her mother\'s nature.
And the thing that stood out the most was; Alina didn\'t like anything with scary voices, even when there was a commercial break showing an ad that tended to be a little scary, Alina would crawl away from there and look for her father or mother.
However, tonight something seemed different, Hailee and Alina were in the living room, sitting on the thick carpet while enjoying a snack, when the television screen showed a pretty scary advertisement.
Hailee laughed when she saw her little daughter turn her head away and hide her face into Hailee\'s chest.
"You\'re so cute," Hailee said as she hugged Alina and changed the channel.
But, when Alina saw her father walking closer, she immediately freed herself from Hailee\'s embrace and fumbled toward Ramon.
Alina started walking at the age of eleven months.
She took three steps and fell, then got up and took four steps, then fell.
Hailee and Ramon who saw it were quite surprised and Ramon immediately approached his daughter and hugged her.
"Alina started walking," Hailee almost screamed. She was amazed, but then a smile appeared on the couple\'s lips.
They had just witnessed their daughter\'s first steps and wished they would be with her every step of the way.
