Really watched him while he played... Looked at his arms.. His little legs .. His tiny toes.. His cheeks all puffed up.. His delicate ears.. His pretty eye lashes... His button nose.. His baby mouth...
And I couldn't stop being amazed at the miracle of a baby...
I'm not even going to go into the nine months they grow in the tummy... I'm still just fascinated by the journey he's taken in the last 16months...
It's a miracle, really, to watch a little baby transform into a little boy, into a little person ...
To watch him not just grow physically, but to see how his mind develops.. How he reacts to things.. To us... How he understand things..
Simple things like understanding a language.. The words.. Loving words angry words.... To know when we are playing around or when we are serious...
Understanding who loves him, who his people are.. Who his family is... Understanding there are other people, strangers, outsiders.. Some are good some we don't know...
To see his emotions.. When he gets upset or when he feels love... The days he randomly comes out of nowhere and comes kisses me... It's interesting to think how that little being feels that emotion... Or has the emotion of jealousy of anger...
How every time Aadi gets a chocolate and he leaves his toys to come sit on his lap and eat with him... Because he knows papa will never say no..,. So he just plonks himself on Aadi's lap... Never with me...
He's so little so so little., and yet he's grown up.. From that little thing swaddled and in my arms, dependant on me for the smallest things... To this boy who knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to ask for it...
It's been such a wonderful journey.. And I'm so blessed to be able to have witnessed him and his life from the very start...
Can't wait to see more!
