Happy Seven Months

Dear little Sheraz,

Today you turn seven great blessed months. Bunda and ayah are so proud of you, little angel. Just when you had celebrated your half birthday, you hit several developmental milestones in a row so quickly.

A day after you turned six months you were able to sit on your own - unassisted. You knew how to get into a sitting position from tummy. Within a week of practising you mastered to sit up steadily. When you were 6 months and a week old, we witnessed you took a few steps of crawling which started by moving only backwards. Within a few days you were able to crawl from one end to the other end of the room. At the same time we noticed your first two white caps peeked through. They're the bottom two middle ones. It wasn't easy to see them since you did not let us to have even a little look at them.

Sheraz, bunda's little poppet. When you entered six months and two weeks old, we witnessed you standing. You like to climb, grab the nearest objects and pull yourself up to a standing position. As of today you are still practising the skill you have mastered. You're even able to stand and balance your body by holding onto something with only one hand. You show it to us excitedly and make a happy proud face. That happy smile is something I wish will grace your lovely face forever.

Sheraz sayang, ayah's little boy. We now can see your not-so-gummy smile when you have revealed your big top front teeth. The thickness is double the size of the bottom ones, as if they do not belong to your little gum. You look different with those pearly whites, and they're so cute. Since the major teeth have already popped through, I slightly feel your bites during nursing.

Sheraz, our little sunshine. You're such a busy joyful baby. You're always busy practising skills you've been eager to master, you're busy exploring, discovering and learning a lot of things. You still like to experiment your own voice. Most of the time you sound so funny. And surprisingly you also 'sing' whenever bunda sings. Another thing we love about you is you're a happy baby who loves to laugh, a lot. As what we believe from the very beginning, you're an amazing character and a perfect addition to the family. We love to have you around. We're so grateful for having the chance to get to know you and to have the duty to raise you. I pray to have all the strength we need to hold this responsibility.

Bunda loves you. You will be my little boy for as long as I live.

Hugs and kisses,
