mothers day present
zahraa learnt new stuff 2-3 days back.. , even having a fever.. she can hold her bottle herself, bringing it to her mouth. She can hold her toys, and also try to bring it to her mouth. She lifted both her legs swaying to the her side, trying to roll i guess..she kicks hard and bend her body when she wanted something or irritated. Just in a week, I am so happy with her. It is a mothers day gift for me, for my first mothers day. On this mothers day, I felt happy, grateful and eager looking forward for many more things to come.
