... three fourths of achieving!

Abbi Misses You!

Hi baby!

It has been 3 days that I have been away, working hard to bring home the spoiling money required for you and mama! lol. Just kidding.. (sort of!). As time goes by, I feel the emptiness, lack of joy, boredem, wanting your presence around; mostly when I'm in my hotel room and hearing nothing but the air conditioner. I am looking forward to meeting you at the airport during my transit, urging to see that grin you have when I return from work; the grin that takes away all tireness and stress from my day.

I want a hug... a nice tight one.. with an "aaaaahh"! I want a kiss, on my cheek, not in the air rubbing your cheek against mine - lol! You're sooo cute! There are too many things to describe how adorable you are - mama is keeping a regular update on your life - kudos to her! Every day you do something new, and for the 2 weeks that I'll be gone, I want a replay of it when I get back - but for the short time I'll see you tomorrow morning at the airport - hugs and kisses work for now!

You are a true gem attracting everyone to you with the love you show them. Keep it up baby! I love you to bits! *HUG*

Your Abbi,
Imo

The lil Swimmer..pix from July 3rd

Above are some of Eesa's pix from his second swim this season with his dad. The first swim was with chacha and chaachi but they took no piccys. They took a piccy when they went next and can be found on chaachi's blog.

Baw, dish, Dipuh and Joosh!

I am happy to report you're turning into one slick charmer. Abbi's been gone three days and we both have been upto ALOT of mischief and kudos to you for being one slick one!

You've been behaving rather well for a 21 month old. You're upto the typical 21 month old mischief but I can't help but fall further in love with you. You wake up early in the morning and start patting my forehead but I still fane sleep. Then you kiss me and go 'mama, mama'. then you come lie down on top of me and keep patting me. I LOVE it. You've learnt how to rub lotion on me and spoil me silly!

Lately, you've been muttering a few coherent words amidst you typical 'pata pata bobidas'. Yesterday, you mentioned 'dipuh' for diaper and today you said 'book'. You say joosh for juice in the most adorable fashion. And you've been saying 'dish' for this and 'laieet' for light for a while now. You picked up how to say no a while ago but now each time you fall down or walk into a wall, you give a stern look and go 'no!' and wave your index finger!

A few days ago, you spilt some juice(i think it was) onto the floor and started clicking your tongue as if to say tsk tsk tsk! it was adorable! Abi and chachi had a hard time controlling their laughter in order to mantain a stern face at the fact that u spilt the juice!

Last night, you woke up at 1:30a.m. and were looking for abbi going 'abba baba" and then twisted your palm as if to ask where. When you couldnt find him, you went into his closet, wanting to wear his clothes. I didn't allow you to do so but his basketball jerseys were in a drawer nearby. You saw the NBA logo and kept going 'baw' for ball. You wanted to wear abbi's Garnett jersey. So i took it out and attempted to make you wear it on top of your clothes, but you insisted on taking your top off so you could wear it. The jersey was longer than you and you kept tripping on it but you were very content. You then climbed onto the bed and lay down on the bed and fell asleep very peacefully.

Love u to bitsy babester,
Yours,
*~Mama

But you decided, two can play at this game. You started hugging and kissing Atikah too. LOL! and the look you had on your face, the mischievious lil grin!

Love you lots essie

Jay cat:P

It's been a while since i last updated abt you. Summer's here and you're kicking it big time at daada's pool. day before yest, Lena and Aunty Lubna came over. They joined you, phoppo and I for a swim as well. (ill upload the piccys later inshaAllah!). During lunch, Lena was sitting in JJ's lap. After a while Lena went to her mum and you climbed JJ's lap and enacted everything Lena did. You had the biggest sheepish grin ever. you leaned your head back into JJ or you'd lie down just the way Lena did. Later on, in the pool Lena sat in your old pool float. you waited patiently until Lena sat, but the moment she left, you climbed outta the pool and grabbed the float and insisted to sit in it. then you'd sit and copy everything lena did!

Alhamdolillah, the good thing abt u is that mashaAllah you dont show your jealousy violently - yet. I hope you stay the same when Booboo two arrives! you're extremely possessive about everyone.

Last sat we went to Mohammad uncle's wedding with Saima. You drove me CRAZY. you probably had a sudden adrenaline rush or something, you were running around the place like crazy. You'd crawl under the brides chair or whiz thru the guest tables. you were up and around, everywhere! I'd seen kids running around at wedding and frazzled auntys, never in my wildest dreams imagined that you'd be like them! *hugz* i luv u lots!

towards the end of the dinner, you climbed onto chacha and refused to go to anyone else. you've become really possessive abt chacha lately. God bless chacha once booboo two arrives!

lately, gravity seems to have an extra strong pull on you... except gravity seems to come at you from every direction - not just the ground. you're turning into a walking talking disaster just like ur mama! Oh my God, you run into walls and pillars like anything!

Recently you've been giving me disciplining dilemmas. I've got to do some research on disciplining methods. You're going through pre-terrible two's and its crazy. You've been expressing anger by throwing things and hitting. I've never really hit you except during the time you were teething and you'd bite while I nursed you. Even then i'd flick a finger on ur lip and that was ageees ago. Last friday, you threw a book and i punished you by locking you into the office. I wanted you to pick up the book before we would leave for jummah. you persistently tried to get away with it, i hugged you but remained mad until you picked it up. I wanted you to know that as much as it hurt me that you were crying because I was mad at you, you had done something wrong and you needed to be corrected. I love you to bitsys!

i think thats all for now.. its 2 am and i really should be sleeping!
love you lots

Enough..

To the baby of whom I can't have enough of. I miss you. You've been spending time at grandma's who has been painting the town red with you! You guys have been wandering all over centre island, niagra and this morning Ontario place. I'm in montreal but think of you morning and night. Can't wait to see u soon inshaAllah.

Enough is not enough, when it comes to u!

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.
