FARAH ABDUL RAHMAN-Our Little Princess.

The other day my husband and i were speaking about blogs and how everyone has a blog for themselves or their passions. I have not been good in keeping a journal for our daughter and decided this was the best way.we didn't want to forget her milestones, her first words, her reactions to new things, her "first everything".

so here i am typing my very first official journal for our girl. I can never forget the day she was born or the 14 days prior to her birth. She came almost 5 weeks prior to her Estimated date of arrival. She was so tiny. She had these Gorgeous, Beautiful Large brown eyes.My husband was glowing with pride.

Me and Abdul had shortlisted Ayesha and Farah for girl names and he said i could chose any name for boy.This was because he knew that it was going to be a girl and I didn't. I chose Zuhayr or Suhail for Boy names. Then one day we suddenly realised that Farah was a combination of his name and my name and we really felt, almost childish happiness. We named her Farah Abdul Rahman.

First few months were a bad roller coaster ride for us. My health issues and hers weren't good. Abdul was caught between the two of us. And we were also moving into our new home, our first dream home that we were building.

Farah was always slow in her physical activity. it was 6 months before she finally flipped and when she started doing the military crawl, she went backwards.she was so frustrated whenever she tried reaching for an object, she would go away from it. Then Abdul and I had to coach her to crawl forward. it didn't stop there, we had to coach her to walk when she finally started standing up when she was 11 months old. she took her first steps when she was 13 months and started walking. There is no stopping her since then.
