Approaching the big ONE!

Hi all! Sorry for the long silence. Been so preoccupied with my Lil' Boy and business. We've finally moved house, although, technically, we're still staying at my parents' at the moment. We really hope we'll move in before Lil' Boy's first birthday.

That's right. My Lil' Boy is gonna be ONE! That means, a year ago, I was feeling Lil' Bean (as he was then!), kicking my inner bits. I was also seeing the Good Doctor around the same amount as Fella. And Fella and I were going crazy shopping for Lil' Bean's arrival.

I still can't believe that Lil' Boy is here. I thank Allah every day for giving him to me, and hope I am able to provide Lil' Boy with everything he needs untuk dunia dan akhirat (in life and beyond). I am engulfed with love every time I see his face; his sweet smile, his cheeky grin, his quizzical look and even his cranky expressions. I love his amazement over his hands, especially his realisation that he can move his wrists (which he does so often!), his dinosaur growls, his bubbly laugh.. There are no words to describe how much I love this Boy. Even now, I'm watching him sleep as I write this, and all I wanna do is just snuggle up to him and smother him with kisses!

Fella and I are hoping to throw his first birthday party next month - maybe Aqiqah, cukur jambul, naik buai and doa selamat in the morning, and a party in the evening. A lot of planning needs to be done, and so many friends and family to invite, as so many people helped pray for Lil' Boy to come into our lives, and the least we could do is to share this special occasion with them.

For me, though, I can't believe Lil' Boy is gonna be one in less than two weeks' time. Time flies so fast! He's also growing up so fast, with sprouting teeth like there's no tomorrow, and trying to start walking. On one hand, I want him to be my baby forever, but on the other hand, there's so much I want him to experience and explore, and I can't wait for those moments to come! So I guess I'll just have to let nature take its course, and enjoy Lil' Boy while he's still lil'!

And maybe it's now time for another lil' one? :)
