I’ve noticed that it takes a very short time to get to know your baby. You learn their noises, facial expressions, and movement. You notice things that other people don’t notice, because it’s your baby, and as a mother you are super in tune to their needs and wants.
My baby is 6.5 weeks old, and it is so amazing to note the changes that are taking place each day. He has discovered his voice and now loves to make cooing noises. I never tire of hearing these noises and it is so neat to see the development taking place.
Of course my favorite development has been the social smile. Nothing has melted my heart faster than those smiles. He does it more and more often now, every day we’ll have a few *smiling sessions* and I can’t imagine anything more perfect that that.
He’s also growing and developing those cute little baby fat folds on his arms and legs. I look at pictures we took soon after the birth and compare them. It is so amazing that so much has changed in such a small amount of time.
Everyone will tell you that the time with a child passes so fast, and they often spout the cliched “They grow up so fast”. I’m finding that’s so true. I want to pause this time in my baby’s life and live in it forever. It is absolutely the best time in my entire life. If there is a meaning to life that people so desperately search for, this is it.
