TO ZAHHIR!!!

Dear Zahhir,
 
I decided to dedicate this post to you since it's been four weeks(one month) that you joined us,now i feel like our family is almost complete(not ruling out a bro or sis in the nearest future). First of all, i give thanks to Allah for giving you to us(i will forever be grateful),this journey called parenthood has been very hectic, stressful, emotionally draining but above all,it is one of the sweetest job in this world.  I pray that Allah continue to make you a source of joy to me, your dad, the whole family and the rest of the world.May Allah bless you with good health,intelligence,brilliance and may he also make you a good Muslim so that you can fulfill you destiny in this world(and the hereafter). Amin  It's been four weeks that we started getting to know you and it seems like you have been with us forever.Sometimes, i look at you and i start crying(hormones i guess) because i cant imagine anything bad(God forbid) ever happening to you.I have never felt so responsible for anything in my life as i feel for you.  Yes, you cry a lot and it seems like you are always hungry but i am always happy to breastfeed you,change your diapers,give you baths that you seem to love so much and just hold you.There are some things i know about you now,like u getting impatient when you can latch properly on the breast, you seem to prefer sleeping on your bouncer to sleeping on your bed and you just love to be held by mommy and daddy. You also respond to your daddy's voice anytime he speaks and you love listening to both of us when we gist.Oh! and you love smiling at me.
 Sometimes, you cry for no reason,at these times, i just strap you in your bouncer and abandon you in the sitting room to self-pacify then when you have quieten down, i give u cuddles.  Recently, your dad traveled, so it's just you and i in the house,so we sleep on the same bed,you formed the habit of holding my cloth or my hand,just to reassure you that i am there,if i move an inch,you will wake up and start crying. 
You are already growing so fast, no wonder Aunty Mariam asked if you have started walking yet.Well, with the look of things, that might happen sooner than expected because you are attaining milestones meant for three months old babies at 3-4weeks.
 OK, i have so many things to say to you because one day,i hope you get to read this, but right now, you have started crying,so i have to pick you up.  One more thing..dad and i LOVE YOU so much....
