Your first trip to Pakistan!

Dear Mustafa, 

You are now 7 months old and went all the way from Dublin to Islamabad in an aeroplane. The feedback that I got from Mama was that you were ... well ... very cranky on the plane, and also very loud! I hope on the way back you enjoy it. 

You had a wonderful time to meet all your cousins for the first time. I can't wait for you to grow older and then for us to play football and cricket as well! Enjoy your trip and have loads of fun with the family. 

You are cheeky monkey!

 Dear Mustafa, 

It's amazing how fast you are growing up - you are already 5 months old and are trying to crawl as well. I think you'll soon start walking as well. 

I love the smile you have when ever I come back from the office and I can see how much you love your sister. Mama is taking great care of you and you know what? Your Dada and Dadu came to see you in Ireland. You had a great time with them!

Very soon I think you'll be heading on your first aeroplane ride! Please be nice to Mama and take care of her at the airport...hmmm... I think you're still too small for that, but one day I'm sure you will.

I also wonder if you will like aeroplanes when you grow up?!

Love, 
Dad

Apr 2013 - You came!

 Dear Mustafa, I'm not sure when you will actually read this but I wanted to let you know that today, 30th Apr 2013 you come to the world! Everyone has been waiting for you for such a long time, espeically your sister Zaynah .... yes you will get to know her very soon and will be playing with her a lot, hopefully not fighting with her!

This is you in your first hour wondering what's going on!

Your sister, Zaynah, was super excited to be with you and welcome you to the family! She even wanted to sleep with you in your cot, but we told her not to. 

I can't wait to see how much fun you and me will have --- I will try to play a lot with you and maybe you ca help me with fixing things as well!

Love, 

Dad
