Eesa's Crib: May 2006

Voices..

That newly articulated word, repeated over and over.
The gleeful giggle, that makes my day.
The whimpering coo, made in pain.
The cheerful *MAMA!*, down the grocery aisle.
The wistful sigh at the doctors office.
The agonizing cries, made to demand.
The ecstatic, perky rain of incoherent ramblings
That hearty laughter after a funny sound
That dreamy early morning murmur.

The loud thunderous voice of my life... my lil Eeso0o!

Booboo 1 meets Booboo 2..

So we had everyone over for dinner last night. MashaAllah your cousin is showing evidence of his existence, not just through the bulge in chachi's belly but by the kicks he masters through her onto everyone's palms! Well chachi introduced you to booboo 2 yest. She's blogged your experience here.

Apart from that you've learnt how to show off your 'muscles' (A.K.A blubber), your evil laugh, you swing your arms across your chest and scream like tarzan the moment we take off your shirt, you've mastered wheels on the bus and are now working on calling everyone by their names!

We're spending the weekend at daadi's tonight. let's see what else you pick!

Love, Mum

I miss you.

I've been having THE most amazing time with you lately. You're my high and my low. Abbi and I love the way you interact with us and communicate with us. We can't wait for you to start talking but at the same time dont want you to stop your non verbal communications etiher. I love the way you wake up in the morning and kiss me and look at me whle you drink milk. I love the way you smile at me.

You're out venturing with grandma and grandpa right now. I'm supposed to be catching up on my homework and preparing for tonight's dinner with abbi's family... but I miss having you around. I miss the way you sit on the counter while i cook, I miss the way you bring shoes from the closet into the kitchen. I miss the mischeif in your eyes. Your daring smiles. I miss the mess you make!

I miss you, my kooshkin! Come back soon!
Love, mama

I love you...

I love you. Three simple words. Three profound words. Three meaningful words.

I. Love. You.

I. Your mother. A daughter.
Love. Fathomless. Unspoken emotion. An indescribable bond.
You. My son. My love.

Penned by Mama and Baba, this is our humble attempt at capturing your growing up days with us. A small way to remind you of the many events of your life that you might (obviously) not remember, the many relations you might not recall, the many feelings that may not surface for you. This is to put a picture to many of the lessons we may not teach you verbally. This is not only our diary of your life, this is the crib of our family.
