1st quarter

Dear Amir,

You're 3 mths old now, well plus a few more days today actually.

Last nite, while cuddling you in my arms, i cant help noticing how big you have grown.. you're almost like a different person than the little guy who arrived 3 months ago. I'm not sure how much you weigh now but exactly a mth back you were a whopping 6kg bundle!. U must be double your birth weight by now. You've also grown in height and hence outgrown most of your rompers. (Giving me good excuse to buy more!)

You have also lost most of your hair and have grown new ones. With a bald head, most say you look even more like Uncle Yeh now. Tok Ma said you've turned darker, hmm.. I dont think you've been out and about that much. Anyway, you've been going without your mitten for few weeks already now. Your hands are your biggest fascination and they mostly spend their time in your mouth. Your little feet, are not as little anymore cos most of your bootees are too small for them now.

Your 'vocab' has also improved tremendously and you also chuckle occasionally. Yesterday, u let out a loud giggle when i tickled your armpit. It made my day. I wanted to tickle you some more but papa was against it. Tak sportingla papa ni :P

Personalitywise, you are getting more talkative when u're up to it. But if you're not, you wont even look at us no matter how we sing, call ur name, wave your toys.. That's wat Tok Ma call, 'the sombong mode'. You've also grown strong preferance for Papa and Tok Ma. As for me, i dont know if it's inferiority complex but i think you like them more. You will turn to papa intuitively when it's time to play but will show me the muka kesian only when u're hungry and tired. It's ok dear cos i like gazing at u when i feed u and put u to bed. One thing for sure, u somehow has strong rejection towards Tok Pa and his brand new car. We tried telling Tok Pa that his voice volume may be the reason why but i guess he enjoys the privilege of being the 'scary' one cos then he can bully you all he wants. Yes, making u smirk and cry seems more enjoyable for him than making u smile.

Oh well Amir, I can go on and on about you. But i'll just end here (heh..finally) by saying no matter what, we love you as much and more as the days go by.
