Baby time is Funtastic time !!

SO finally my little one is 2 months old and i have just become a 2 month old mother!!! Just when i thought it would get easier i realize it's just become tougher!!! Earlier the tantrums were just while feeding or sleeping now it's for most of the things , our hero is trying hard to fall on his stomach and when things go awry he just does the one thing he knows , cry harder so that mommy picks him up and coochi coos him ..

Though motherhood is no fairy tale , though it's a full time job with no holidays , no sundays, and lots of sleepless hours , it has its own fantastic perks that no other job can match. The amount of satisfaction this job gives matches no other job ..

Every time u feel the touch of soft skin against urs , every time u r suddenly bestowed with one of the cutest and most unadulterated smiles and every time u put him to bed with the most serene expression on his face after hours and hours of lullabying is PERK TIME..

Every time i get a call and people ask me 'How is he ??' , i feel 'He's doing fine' is not an answer that does justice to that question .. Each waking moment of his , he has a new discovery to make , he has a new color to remember , a new face to identify , a new word to learn , a new action to make .. I can watch him for hours and not get bored and to tell that he gets tired just watching this new world that he's occupied for only 2 months is not an under statement...

One of my best experiences is when he tries to identify his own voice , i have heard that babies like to hear their own voice , whenever he makes a new sound , he has that wierd expression on his face which clearly says 'Where did that sound come from ?? Who did it ??' and he does that same sound again and again

As motherhood is not a bed of roses am sure babyhood is not even close to a bed of roses , for each and every thing the baby has to struggle , from suckling hard to fill his stomach to falling on his stomach and hitting his nose hard , everything is a learning process. Babies learn early that u dont get anything without working hard for it , there are no shortcuts no cheat sheets , if u want to sit u need to crawl first...

Babies are fair in all respects ,they cry only when they are hungry or are uncomfortable , they do not cause unnecessary trouble ,they dont have ridiculous demands. Shower them with attention and they are all urs and the unconditional love they give u is worth any trouble they may ever cause, not to mention the instant bonding and joy they bring in within the family .. If he managed to pull my brother out of his computer and force him to cuddle him for hours , u can imagine the amount of influence he has on his grandparents , father and mother!!!!
