You will be 3 month tomorrow. I am bumped with lots of thoughts and new things to learn every day and time becomes more precious than gold day after day. I browsed about 10 new websites today, each of them on a different topic: from child development, to baby formula, to Persian songs for babies, to other Iranian mom blogs …. I also talked with one of my good friends on the phone. She also has a newborn (her first one as well) and we were talking about our challenges … one of the hot topics was how children need multiple attentions and not just attention from mom and dad … the other hot topic was breastfeeding challenges … we finally concluded that we have done great! (You cannot believe how it is essential to moms to know that they have done well! We all go through lots of new challenges … it is like we enter a whole new world and on top of that, our hormones is ready to make us feel guilty for every little thing that happens)
Well, I should learn to be a quick writer as well; otherwise my head will blow up with pile of thoughts ….
OK, OK, I was writing about your big day … Today, we took you for a walk in the baby carrier for the first time. You daddy was carrying you and you were facing forward (away from him). Oh Gosh! Aren’t you the cutest? I wish I had my camera or my blackberry with me to take a picture of you. You should have seen yourself! Holding your head up -although it is hard for you- and looking around carefully with your eyes wide open like you were discovering the world for the first time! You were all surprise (I love this curios look in your eyes … my heart melts for it … you become even cuter!) and you were quiet all the time … I wanted to eat you up! Yummy yummy yummy!
Then we came home and I put you in your crib and you started to cry … I was dead tired (but I have not sleep yet, you see why I am tired, well … :) ) and I put you on our bed, laid down on the bed next to you and hold your favorite mirror toy in front of your face. This is what I do recently to calm you down and it works just perfect! There is a rolling ball in the corner of the mirror that you are fascinated by it and it makes noise as we roll it. I rolled it for you and then you stretched your arms and reached for it and …… yes!!! you did it yourself … you rolled it and then you did it again and again … UH it was such a moment …. I called your dad and he got the video …. You have been trying to grab things this past week but I think so far you were doing it just accidently but this time, you knew what you are doing! You aimed for it and you rolled the ball on purpose … such a beautiful moment.
Now you are sleeping and I’ve got few hours to eat and sleep … well, an hour is passed already so I have to hurry up!
Love Love Love Kiss Kiss Kiss :)
