Dear Hayaa...

Tomorrow, at 6:18 am in the morning, you will be exactly 6 months old insha'Allah. How these months have gone past, I could never have fathomed. I've been wanting to write about you for quite some time; record all your milestones, remember the joy you bring to us each and every day.. as well as our share of worries and concerns :)

You are lying in my lap right now. This seems to be your favorite spot these days. You feed in my lap and many times even sleep, play and lie there for quite some time. I hardly know how I get anything else done.

Your recent venture has been to sit up by yourself and play with your plastic colourful blocks, though i believe the bright red box entertains you more then what's inside. This morning, your dadda asked me to get some soft toys for you, because he thinks the plastic ones you play with might hurt you :D He loves you so much and tries his best to protect you in every way possible, and the same goes with your abu.

Do you know, you spend most of your day staring at my face? You want me to be with you all the time, to hold you and hug you. You love it when I kiss you. So far, I'm your favourite person in the whole wide world, and I know, soon when you've grown up, I'll look back and miss this time and the love you hold in your eyes for your mommy.

I'm so proud of how far you've come in these 6 months. There was once a time when I'd just want you to remain sleeping and my biggest worry would be to have you awake. Though I'm still not so satisfied with your 10 minute naps, I now love spending my days with you; hugging and kissing you, playing and speaking to you.

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you with many more months and years of happiness, and grant you the best of this world and the world to come. May your parents find you a joy not only in your infancy but may you grow to be a righteous, respectful and loving young woman, one who is in constant remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and continuously seeking his forgiveness. Ameen thumma ameen.

Love,

Your Mummy
