Dear Baby Z,

You are three months old today! Where did the time fly? You are no longer the wee little thing I was scared to hold because of how fragile you were. By God’s grace you are a strong healthy girl I can more confidently carry around, especially since your neck is no longer like a spring. I can finally use the ring sling to wear you around! We are getting more and more peeks of your personality. You are a calm and confident baby. You are chill unless you are hungry or sleepy (just like your mamma) But unlike mamma ,you are really patient, and put off crying if we are outside.

You coo and gurgle and chatter so much these days! Both your dad and I can’t wait to get back from work so we can play with you. Our favourite thing is to say “I love you” to you because you try so hard to say it, moving your lips and contorting your tongue. We could just gobble you up! Our phone is now just a storage for your videos and we shamelessly spam all family WhatsApp groups with you, you cute button.

We also sing to you and you sing back to us. Well, either that or you are asking us to shut up and give you some peace of mind.

You had your first road trip before you were even 3 months! We went from Riyadh to Yanbu, travelling over a 1000 kms. You were a real sport Masha Allah.

You curiously looked around everywhere and seemed to enjoy the change of scene. Especially the beach!

You’ve already celebrated two eids with us, both of which mamma took as an opportunity to dress you up. If mamma had her way you’d even sleep with those cute bow headbands.

Each day with you is a blessing Z. Some nights I stay awake looking at how perfect God has made you and how merciful He is for gifting us you. I love every inch of you and sometimes i feel my heart would just burst out of love. You are our soulmate. Continue being the joy you are my Zaddoo.

Love,

Mamma
