Things I Already Miss About My Baby

Do you know what doesn’t stay tiny long enough? Little babies, wow, they grow so faaaaaast! Of course, I did enjoy all the itsy bitsy stage and yet it went way too fast for me

I can hardly remember them all, but I know how anxious I was for Alaan to start crawling and my mom reminding me that he would do it in time. I was in the same anxious state for him to start rolling over, waving, cutting his first tooth and walking and all the other milestones. And now I find myself getting a little misty about all the little things he has already outgrown.

I just miss the adorable toothless gummy smiles, having to carry him in the baby carrier for walks (now he has outgrown this), monthly portrait sessions (we took portraits photos till one year on every month on his birth date), etc
I guess the only way to really fix this nostalgia is to do this all over again 

The Light of My Life

These days I have been wondering a lot about being a mother and what it means for me now as well as the implications it has for my future. I think about fights I had with my parents when I was in my teens and I fear the day that my baby can see my blunders and is mad enough to call me out on them.
But for the time being, my son is the shining light of my life. However much I complain about sleepless nights when I am used a human pacifier, the grumpy and crabby days, and even the fussy drinking; I could not possibly imagine this point in my life without him.

Right now, I am so grateful for my babyish baby boy Alaan and for the happiness he brings to our family. I am also incredibly grateful to have a very supportive and caring mother who looks after Alaan when I am at work. My mother is the best grandmother a baby could ever have, and she jumped in with two feet right along with me in bringing up this wonderful baby. Yes baby, you are light of our lives

Mohamed Alaan Ahmed

A year ago I gave birth to the most beautiful and adorable baby boy! We named him Mohamed Alaan Ahmed and he has this cute little dimple on his right cheeks. My heart melted when i caught his first dimplish smile :) Little did I know then how amazing it would be to be a Mother but I soon found out. I simply love being Alaan's Mom so much. I thank Allah for bringing him into my life. He really is such an amazing little boy and here are a few pictures from his month. We just love this little guy to pieces and can't imagine life without him!

My Babyish Baby

If I was an organized mommy, I would have started this project from day one. Instead I am starting it on twelve months (my son just marked his one year– that’s not too late, right? I may not be organized but I most definitely want my son to read what his mommy wrote here when he grows up. And a blog is the perfect online keepsake to record the milestones of your little one. So babyish baby, here we go!


This is the first time Maamee saw tiny babyish baby in 4D scan, and you were the most beautiful baby ever and i could not wait to hold you in my arms :)
