Dear Adel,
You are now just days shy to being a handsome young 9 month old baby. I must admit that some days I have it a little rough since I did not get enough sleep as you are down with fever and flu the past couple of days. You just love to cling to me, to be held close and although I am tired, I find myself reaching for my phone to browse at your recent pictures and videos and comparing it the old ones once you are sleeping. I would have a big smile across my face seeing all the progress that you have made, watching your laughs and your giggles.
I am so proud of all your progress. You can now crawl on both hands and knee, you can stand up with support from the sofa or other furniture (this drives me nuts because I often fear that you will fall and bump your head or something like it) and the best is that you have learned how to show things. I would ask you " Adel could you please show me the fish?" and you would slowly push your tiny fingers to the picture of the fish on the book. You understand some of the things that I tell you such as chew, sit, smile and hopefully more to come. It is funny how I would be shriek, clap and laugh every time you get to do something new.
Living in Abu Dhabi has been amazing so far but I do hope that we could get some sort of play date soon. We do not get to meet other babies that often since we are living in an apartment but I do try to take you to the little park that we have here where most of the kids there are big boys. You do seem to enjoy it though.
We will be traveling again soon, in the next two days in fact, and we will head back to Malaysia to meet with your family, aunties, uncles, cousins and your maktoks etc. It is going to be a 7 hour flight and it is just going to be the two of us. I hope we will get through it. I have prepared some items for the flight: iPad fully charged with lots of fun baby Apps, little toys, snacks for you to nibble on
change of clothes, enough nappies, baby lotion, bottle for water, socks and a sweater just in case you get cold. I really hope that your runny nose clears up before the flight and we could enjoy the flight back.
All the travelling has made me realize that you are growing up in a very tough world with temptations everywhere. I pray that you will be strong emotionally, physically and mentally, an that you will be wise with every decision that you choose to take.
Be strong, Be responsible, Be Smart
I love you.
Love,
Mama
