a new milestone: cheeku sucking his thumb

9-jan-10--Chiku growing fast--breaking my heart...

My sweet little newborn is growing so fast. It breaks my heart... He is two months old today. It feels like maybe two weeks. The time slips away from me so fast, as does the newborn stage. I hear so many people say they prefer when their babies get a little older and have more personality. Not me, there is such innocence in the newborn stage that you never get back. He is so sweet and precious. I really don't want him to grow up at all. I want to keep him safely snuggled in my arms forever and protect him from the world.

I love him so much, I want him to have a life of joy and laughter. I want him to have confidence and strength. I want him to believe in himself and his potential. I don't want him to be like me. I don't want him to get hurt and struggle like I did.

I know it is inevitable, he will grow up. He will face challenges and heartache. Hopefully He will make better choices than I did. But right now, more than anything, I just want him to stay little. I want him to stay a newborn in my arms that is happy and safe and loved. I want to cherish every big grin, every coo and gurgle, I want him to be my baby as long as possible.

Cheeku ko sulana mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai... :((

He woke up at 9 PM yesterday..or abhi tak khelta hi ja raha hai..his fav. play--staring the walls, lights, fan...and talk to them actually..:) Its 10 AM and he is still on..are bhai mere ko to ninni a rahi hai...but he wants me to enjoy the walls with equal intensity and interest...

koi mujhe iss cheekuu se bachaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooo............................ ;))))))))))))

3:06 A.M. What is everyone doing?

Cheeku woke up around 11:00 PM, Dad still awake, cuddled him and took him in lap. Baby decided that he just wanted to hang out for a little bit, so when Momma heard his cries of protest about going back down to sleep she has to slip out of bed. L'il Cheeku was starving and wanted an urgent feed, and some snuggle time with me. How special do I feel when he just wants to snuggle his little self all into the side of my neck and tell me "ahhh goo". Translated? "ahhh comfy, momma".


I just finally got him into my arms and loved him a lot..not enough to my baby..he even wants more...he was literally trying to move and walk around..A big cry came at 1 AM and all I was left was to give him a comfy walk in the room so that he can inspect all the walls and interior :) It is his favorite play and playtime..He just loves to walk around the room in night and stares at wallls with os much excitement..cant tell!

Its 3 AM ..and mum is really sleepy now..dad managed to sleep finally and I put my earphones on..hearing some music while playing with cheeku and walking him in the room...Its a great workout infact ;) 4,5,6,7,8,9..and cheeku has had n number of feed and play sessions :) just one more hour to go..it will be 10:00 and he w'd need a nap in mumma's arms...

I just had a great idea, just looking at Cheeku's blankie. How great would it be for me to learn how to sew, use an actual sewing machine, and make baby items. I'd love to be able to make pillowcase dresses, sweaters etc. I think it could be a new hobby for me to get into, I just need to learn how to sew and use a sewing machine, plus learn how to crochet, because the sweaters would require that. Something to look into, definitely!

Back to my sweet baby boy, just snuggled so content, binky in mouth, all peaceful sleeping. Ahhh. I did a great job. Every momma's greatest accomplishment, putting your babies to sleep, especially when they're overtired, sick, or just plain cranky from too much stimulation. I've never seen anything greater than a sleeping baby.

Goodnight....zzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZ............
