9 Months Old

I can't believe how time flies. 3 more months Sofea's going to turn 1. Which also means I've been home THAT long. My boss sorta give an ultimatum whether to come back to work or quit. I made the decision to quit. I remembered feeling really low that whole day. Eventually I emailed him my decision, went into the bedrm and gave Sofea a good hug. Then i cried. Maybe it's bcoz It felt so difficult to give up a good job. The pay is not great but i've been there for 6 years. Of course, there's some emotional attachments plus i think it will be hard on Wan should i be jobless. But then again, it's even harder for me to leave Sofea behind. Ultimately my resignation was rejected and my boss proposed that I work from home on a permanent freelance basis but with adjusted renumeration. Alhamdulillah! Rezeki from Allah!

So here I am, almost a year to Sofea's birth and still working from home. But honestly i find it a tad difficult to cope with work these days. Ever since Sofea started walking, she can't be left unattended and growing up also means shorter nap times and bedtimes. How i missed those days when i can put her to bed at 6.30pm and the night is all mine!

But turning 9 months is such a wonderful thing. i realised that Sofea can understand me better. I scolded her to sit down when she stood in her high chair, she obliged and sat but with a good cry. She understood when i'm happy, when i'm sad. When she's all grumpy and i asked 'milk, milk?' she'll give a wide smile and a whiny 'ah-huh ah-huh', meaning '' yes, i want milk!' And recently she started calling Wan Abah. And nothing pelat abt it!. She still can't call me mommy.. just the usual mamamama. Just this evening I put wan on speaker phone and the little maknenek heard his voice and went ÁBAH! Masyallah cerdiknyer!
