It's been 10mths since my precious came into my life. It's hard to believe that this hyper nut was once a gentle gentle being growing inside my womb. You have changed me in so many ways, my life, my temper, my compassion, my expectations.. and I love every tiny bit of those changes.
Whatever hurdles and hardships I'd went thru during your initial days on earth, all's been forgotten when I think about what I'm about to type below.
I love it when you wake up and cry for help and the minute you see me, you beam and let out a hissing laugh.
You're so adorable to watch when each time I put you on our bed, you'd roll around the bed like a gymnast doing her routine covering all corners of the gymnast's ring.
And then when pillows (especially the ones with blue covers, with moon and stars prints, aka my chau chaus) are thrown in front of you, you'd bury your face and snuggle against the pillows.
That shows, you're really mummy's boy...
because mummy does that too with her "chau chaus".
Oh, and you'd rub your nose when you feel sleepy or when your hair irritates your eyes.
And that's my bad habit too!!
I love it when you sneak a peek when I put you to sleep,
just to make sure that I'm still beside you.
I also love watching you amuse yourself in the dark, watching and wriggling your 10 little fingers in silhouette lighting...
You always expect some sort of cheer whenever you manage to come down from the couch on your own, and lately, you seem to expect cheers in everything you do.
Like this morning when you woke up, you pulled out your socks, followed by daddy and mummy's socks... and we cheered.
And you'd do the cricket thing with your feet each time you're done pulling out your pair of socks,
that shows, you're daddy's boy..
cause daddy does that often too... crickety crickety feet.
And then you grab hold of my thighs and slid down from the bed, and again we cheered.
We cheer when you finished your breakfast, lunch and dinner.. and of course the cheer comes with raising both our arms in the air... "yayyyy"...
You'd hi-5 with me whenever I prompt you, followed by shake of hands.
Now that you're able to shake your hands while grasping other people's hands,
that...amuse me even more!!
Oh you'll stretchhhhh for real when I ask you to,
each time after you wake up. And then I'll stretch too,
and there'll be giggles all over!
You give a cheeky grin whenever we smile at you.
You'd flap your hands frantically when you're excited.
Particularly when I hold up your mickey doll, and sing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song,
you'd flap your hands excitedly,beam brightly and show off your 2 bottom teeth!
I love watching you shake shake shake your booty whenever you hear music,
and then you'll turn to look at us, like as if to get some sort of encouragement or to join along with the beat.
I love it especially at night, when I'm about to tuck myself into our bed,
I see either your head, your fingers or any part of your limb reaching out to touch your daddy, just so you feel secure, having someone sleeping next to you.
It just melts my heart watching such a blissful sight...
It's a funny sight that whenever you're stripped and ready for your bath, you'd crawl speedily away and I'll shout "naked on the run!! naked on the run!!" and that makes you laugh.
When I wash your hair every morning, you let out signs of protest by wailing out loud or that cute cry... that too amuses me.
Seems like everything you do, you always always amuse and bring a smile to my face.
Your daddy brings out the best in me,
and you my precious... you make me a better person.
And I'm certain you won't stop bringing light and millions more of smiles into our daily lives in the days to come.
With that, HaPpy 10 MoThs oL my dear raTsy...
you reaLLy ARE my PriDe & jOy...
WiTh LoVe.. Mummy....
