Baby Talk

I was up late last night cause baby Idris wouldn't go to sleep. He has gotten into this habit of playing till wee hours of the morning recently. And catching up on sleep when I'm away at work. My mother in-law says I should be flattered. That he saves up every waking hour for me (at the cost of my very much needed beauty sleep!). I love rolling around with him. Cuddling and kissing those chubby little cheeks. And babbling away as though he could understand every word.

He managed his first real words just last week. Mam-ma. And then Ba-ba just a few days later. Which then quickly evolved into Ap-bah, probably a response to our endless questions of "Apa?" each time he starts gurgling his baby jargon.

I told Idris he's special. And so lucky to have Mama and Baba all to himself. No one else will. All his adik(s) will have to share. But not Idris. The little man gets all of Mama and Baba's undivided love and attention. Every single ounce of it.
