Asalamualaikum
Hi
I think im being secretive about zahra since the child pornography issue. I dont post much pictures of hers anywhere. And i dont talk about her as much too. Trust me, she's the center of our attention now and ever but sharing her out and abouts is still at alarming rate. I hope it stays that way actually. Oh im just an overprotective mother.
Furthermore, i found it unfair to those who is trying to conceive and have a child of their own when i talk about zahra all the time. Yes, once i made that mistake of talking about her 24/7, and i learnt my lesson. So i wont do it anymore insyaAllah.
But, a once in a while updates about her is forgivable i hope. Like this one im about to write. Hew. Being that she's only a newborn for 40 days, a baby for 2 years, a toddler for another few years etc. She's growing into a healthy baby girl alhamdulillah. In fact a toddler next year. How fast the time flies. I once held her with one arm and she was so light. Today, i can barely lift her and she's in fact heavier than dhiya who is older than her by 4 months.
Im grateful and happy with her growth alhamdulillah. She's a happy gal with sprinkles of her own personalities. She's growing her interests in many things such as reading and drawing. She has her likes and dislikes. Yes, she throws tantrums from time to time and thats ok by us. She listens. She pays her attentions to things around her. She's still picking up at her speech department but she has a few vocabularies. We believe that she knows the things we say but she chooses to say and pronounces only her favourite words. At her stage, she's mastering nouns and her favourites are; duck, dog, ayam, meow, horse, fish, air. She knows nasi, cicak and many more but she ignores when we ask her to repeat after us. We think that that is the only thing we need to work on right now. Other than that, she's an angel.
As for us, her parents, it is such a beautiful experience to see her grow everyday. My life might sound boring to you, but she is my miracle and our happiness and joy. Even seeing her wakes up everyday is the happiest thing we can ever experience. Watching her new behaviours, listen to her babbles can melt our hearts forever. I honestly miss her when she sleeps. We wouldnt know what to do without her. I can see my husband hurting everyday when he's off for his work for days or weeks. The two of them have this special bond even i cant figure. They love to play mime with each other. Now that zahra knows how to video call her ayah, she'd say ayah a million times when she's in a bad mood. Seeing her ayah can put a smile on her face. If she was in a bad mood at that time, she would forget about the whole thing and she'll go play nicely after her ayah says hi.
We just hope that she will be ready when the time comes for her to step up and become a big sister. She looks like she into babies. She loves to play with lily but we wouldnt know for sure unless she has a baby sibling of her own right? Huhu. As for now, we are going to squish her hard as she's our only baby. But she likes to put her hands on my belly once in a while and say meow. Haha. I cant wait for her to see my belly moves up and down from the baby's punches or kicks. I'd like to see the look on her face. Bet she'd scream in fright. Lol.
Umi & ayah saaaaayang Zahra. Or should we call you kakak already? XD
Ps: i will have to see my doctor on the 21st. Im afraid i'd forget so im going to chant that until i fall asleep. -.-
