Little red riding hood!

one month old

It's a been a little quiet. All the fuss about the birth is slowly subsiding. Jan is doing good. she is growing rapidly. wonderful to see that. wakes up about 2 to 3 times every night. she is very punctual about her two hour intervals between meals. loves to travel in her car seat in which she's mostly asleep. loves the bath. loves to stare at our faces. smiles her rare precious smile. plays with her pillows. kicks and boxes. loves to sleep with mum and dad in their bed rather than in the crib. knows and loves the mum, uncle and grandma very much. responds to talking. tries to make sounds. looks at colours but doesn't try to grab them. sleeps in awkward positions. loves to be carried upright. loves walking around with us.

Be Strong

You’re my daughter and you seem to be as adventurous and exploring as I am. I took you out in a cold winter night. I had to pull up a racket to do it. I was so fed up of staying home and I couldn’t go leaving you. I’d rather have you crying in hunger when I’m around so I can get to a corner and feed you. I want you to know this because no one was in favour of me taking you out but I dared them all and went ahead with I wanted to do. Sometimes you just have to.

And guess what Jannah? you were so good. you enjoyed it. slept better than at home. Thank you so much for corporating and being a good girl!

Don’t let people around you or the weather tell you how you should live your life. Follow your instincts. You are wise enough to know what you want. Jannah you should be strong. Once you make up your mind don’t let others change it for vain reasons. It’s only you who can make your life bright or dull. The weather has little to do with it. Jannah if the cold hurt you I’m sorry but you need to learn to live… to get it under you and to go on… I don’t how long you’ll have to live in this lost and almost haunted land but don’t let it get in the way of what you really want to do or be.

On top of all of that you were fine and you slept better than you do at home. I think you enjoyed the short ride as mush as I did which wasn’t much actually. I just needed the fresh air.

Jannah my dear, Be strong!
