Our's came to us on 31st of Jan, 2014 and since then the life changed completely in many ways. Today he turned 9 month ! Life filled up with all sets of new happiness and joy when baby arrives. We realized that he (his name is Aarav) made love more stronger. Initial 8-10 weeks he was mostly sleeping without knowing when to sleep and when not too J So that time was kind of challenge for us.. but you know, I must say even with sleepless nights I was totally charged in every morning for the work and having excitement to come back home soon finishing work fast to see cute smile. So the time was flying fast with an excitement to go home after work to see baby every day. After coming home we use to go out for walk with baby and believe me these moments are real memorable as you could see extremely different reaction, excitements and fun on baby’s face. We laugh when they laugh, we smile when they smile, Baby remind us what it’s like to be happy with the simple things in life. They are so innocent that whatever expression you give them they will return those with a cute smile which is what you always wait for and that will force you to smile... Isn't it ? :)
Somewhere I read and our parents also told us that we should go out for walk every day for few minutes. Giving baby an opportunity to see the world with different things, lights and fresh and natural air in their initial growth phase. This is very useful for the babies as it helps improving baby’s vision and grasping power in terms of their growth. Seeing your baby with different expression on their face is extremely different experience. Isn’t it ? I am sure the moment you see your baby with different expression, you would try to give the same expression in return. Isn’t it a fun you have ever enjoyed? Giving them a different expression with full of joy is a one of the great fun in the world. We have been realizing and enjoying these moments of life with ‘Dady’s little Guy’. At the age of 4-5 months he started recognizing people around him meaning he know who is mom and who is dad. One day we had a regular doctor visit when he was 5.5 months old. He was playing with us even when we were discussing with doctor. The moment we put him down for doctor for regular checkup, and the moment doctor touched him for checkup he started crying!! We realized that he is recognizing people ! The moment we lift him up he was smiling and started playing in his natural mood !
Another kind of fun I always enjoy is with my wife Lisa :), arguing on whether he is “Dady’s little Guy” or “Momma’s little teddy” !! J Especially when we are on shopping for Aarav. I always want to buy a cloths with printed statements like “Dady’s little Guy”, “Dady’s little Champ” etc… and She always wants to buy something like “Momma’s little teddy”, “Mummy’s little master” etc… ! With making arguments to each other we sometime end up buying two sets of cloths to make our self-happy or someone (mostly I have) has to compromise J. Isn’t it a fun shopping ! Yes it is, we have been hearing from many friends but now we are realizing the fun out of this little things. A baby makes love stronger, day shorter, past forgotten and the future worth living for…. !
Babies makes us charged everytime we see them, makes us stress free when you come home and see them. Every day is full of fun, surprises and happiness because every day they grow by grasping and learning new things. We could observe new things and activities everyday which makes us even more happy!!. Seeing your baby learning new things keeps you busy and charged.
Fun, Love ,Memories and happiness is what you get when you are in parenthood ! Enjoy your parenthood at its best and keep recording all memorable moments !
Love you LisAarav !
