Dear Mummy,

It's been five months since. Yeah five months since I've terrorized Papa's and your life. I know the first three months was really trying for you. You used to lead the life of a duo with not much of a responsibility on your shoulders. Now it's plus one (me!). I could still remember your first hug,your first kiss and your first tear (when I was crying non-stop in front of the family on the 2nd day). I also got you real worried when I was vomitting all the milk I've drunk in minutes, the jaundice I had, the one in every minute farts. the non-stop stretching plus crying and the regular wake-up calls that made you walk around like a zombie. Well, all that has passed right? the doctor did comforted you that it will soon be smooth sailing right?

It's great to be out here in the world, mummy! When I was in there, all I could hear was your voice singing to me and Papa asking whether I am alright in there. Oh at times, I do hear Abg Thaqeef's voice saying hello to me! Now out in this world, I could see everyone clamouring to hold, hug and kiss me. It's such a pleasure to feel so wanted. But truthfully, I feel safe just to be in your arms.

Everyday, I look forward to the times we will just be together. The morning Oprah Winfrey, drama melayu, Rachael Ray shows where I will just gulp my milk and then sleep while you are busy copying recipes you've never tried. Then on Wednesday till Fridays, I look forward to the Price Is Right where I see contestants jumping around like monkeys and makes winning so easy. Mummy, how can someone win a car in minutes and do basically nothing? Is that how the world works these days?

On another note, Mummy, don't get so worried and compare me with other babies of 2008. I may not grow as rapidly as they are. I know you expect me to be chubby and fat fat but don't get so worried k. Dr Chuang says I am at the right weight and there is nothing to be worried about. This new Enfalac milk is really good for me. My vomitting has reduced tremendously and I am drinking more milk now! Well let me comfort you with this, I am doing things beyond the regular expectations. I can flip in a second and I can do push ups. I can even communicate with you in baby language and I'm very sure you understand what I say. Only you know what I want at any time! That's really amazing! Give me a few months and I'll call you.

*sighs* But I know you will be going back to work soon. I can't bear to separate with you at all. I am so used to having you linger around me 24/7. I can't sleep without you to hold me close and kiss my eyelids to sleep. I will miss your kisses and hugs and our cuddles. Mummy, can you not go to work? Can you just be a SAHM? Please pretty please?

Love,

Kashif
