Hard to believe it's almost been a month since Kiran was born!
So many milestones he's already acheived - the smallest no less than being able to some how communicate his needs to us via his cries! Though, we're not always good on the uptake (especially when it's a dirty diaper, 5 mins after having checked for one!). He's so full of expressions from the familiar 'grumpy old man' (inherited from papa) to his closed mouth smile. I hear him laughing sometimes at night - have yet to catch him gurgling in the daytime. The best cry ever is his imitation of a motorcycle that he holds up when he's waking up and hungry or simply just irritated.
He's already turned himself onto his side; He holds his head up quite well and can push off his arms (though I've been a bit remiss in giving him adequate tummy time up to now!). He also responds well to talking and singing. Actually, he'll sing along in his sleep if he can (though for the moment it's just a random string of notes).
I can't imagine life without him, and yet I know there was a really nice sleep-filled life prior to my pregnancy and his birth. But I wouldn't give him up for anything! I'm still not at that point where I would want somoene else to spend their days with him (makes it hard to face up to the search for caregiver/daycare that will come in some months time). Are all mothers this possessive? That said, I wish it wasn't winter as would be out in the park or simply OUT more often! He really needs to get used to the feel of other people around and other locations than within the four walls of our home. Hopefully our good friends in the area will help us solve that problem!
For now, he's being spoilt with just his Papa and Amma!
