A day in your life... |
|
Posted at Monday, November 03, 2008 |
It's 11.30pm here.. that'll be 2am in Singapore.. At 2.04am, you'll be exactly six months old.. Six months have gone by in a flash.. I still remember seeing you for the first time coming out from your mummy's womb.. I still remember you lying in the warmer, eyes open and looking around.. making cooing noises.. I remember holding you in my arms for the first time.. Unsure of how to hold you.. so afraid of dropping you.. but yet I wanted so much to have you in my arms..
Daddy can't be there with you now.. But I can imagine you doing the things you do... Waking up in the early morning, you'll be making crying noises.. You're hungry but it's still early.. So I pat you a little while, put your pacifier in your mouth and you eventually go back to sleep.. An hour later, you'll wake up again.. Head lifted up and crying again.. This time, I'll get up and make your milk.. Your mummy's woken up by you too.. So she pats you and tries to comfort you while your milk is being warmed up.. When I come in, I on the bedside lamp and lift you up from your cozy spot between your mummy and daddy.. You cry loudly in protest from being removed from your very own space.. I lay your head on my arms and put your handkerchief beneath your chin.. That's the signal that your milk is ready and you'll open your eyes.. Once you see the bottle, your hands reach out wildly to try to pull it quickly towards your mouth.. You suck quickly.. with your eyes closed.. Hungry and sleepy little boy..
When you are finally finished, I try to burp you but you almost always refuse to.. I put you down and you open your eyes.. looking around.. exploring the world around you.. You're full and refreshed now.. You're smiling happily.. Making little noises..
We bring you up to your grandma's place.. You see us leave but you're more interested in the shiny gate handle than your mummy and daddy.. But at night, when we go home, the moment you see us, you break out into a big smile..
I can see that smile... How I miss it so... Your mummy has sent two video clips of you.. one of you sleeping and one of you in your walker.. Daddy can't help but cry whenever he watches it..
Someday you'll grow up and you'll find mummy and daddy to be naggy.. I found your grandma and grandpa naggy too when I was younger.. But now, with you in my life, I finally can understand why.. The love your mummy and daddy have for you is one that can never be described.. It started from the moment you were born and it'll never ever fade... You probably won't understand it till you have your own children one day.. All I know is that right now, so far away from you, I know that I want to spend every possible moment I can with you..
Goodnight my dear Matthias.. Happy six months.. daddy and mummy love you so... |
