Dear Baby Mummy

Dear Baby Mummy,

You screamed your way into this world five months ago. But once we held you in our arms, you settled down, as though you knew immediately that it was with Mummy and Baba that you belonged. For the first few months, all you wanted to do was sleep, eat, poo. Sleep, eat, poo. You only spent about a total of one hour awake the whole day. But you were so good at night. You only used to wake up twice for feeds. Even then you would go straight back to sleep. But you hated when I wrapped you in your blanket. You wanted your arms and legs to be free. You would turn red and cry.

Now, you're a tough little boy who looooovvveeessss attention. All you want to do is play. When Mummy or Baba are not paying you any attention, you scream. And you always smile when you see us. You know who your Mummy and Baba is.

You can roll over and you try your best to move now. But all you manage is to reverse :) You laugh and smile and are such a joy to be around. When anyone (eg. Baba, Kak Man, Midget Mummy) is tired or upset or grumpy, all I need to do is show them you and they forget everything else and smile. You literally light up their lives.

Keep on playing and smiling and laughing my baby. Even though there are people who rejected you from the day you were born, at the end of the day, it's their loss. They won't be able to get to experience the joy you bring. And there's no way I'm going to let you near them either.

Keep growing as the happy, healthy child you are Baby Mummy. Because there will always be so many other people there to laugh and smile with you. To cheer you on when take your first step. To chat with you when you learn your first words. To teach and guide you when you learn and explore the world.

Mummy and Baba can't wait to see you crawl, walk, talk, run, learn, make friends, go to school. It's been such a quick five months. Take your time growing up. We want to see you happy always.

Love you Baby Mummy :)
