| Feeling the loouuvee |

As the title suggests, feeling extreme love towards BSK, want to document them. Feel free to skip.
Love the way she extends her hands to come to me. Love the way she kicks her legs in happiness.
Love the way she smiles with her mouth wide open. Love the way she sits on my lap facing me, with this admiring look on her face. She would find anything I do amusing. Love the way she got so excited when I gave her little water to drink straight from the glass. She took a sip, then smiled a mile to a dozen and kicked her legs in joy before heading for the next sip. Love the way she adores her own pic on the iPad, she jumps in joy. Love the way she transitions between sitting and tummy position like a pro. Love the way she rolls all over between DH and I in the night before sleeping. Its her little workout, by the time she is ready to sleep she is sweating with her head wet. Love the way she stands up immediately after I put her in the crib and watches me go about getting her stuff ready. Love the way she brings her hand up when I give her a 'hi-fi!'. Love the way she supports on my legs/arms, pulls on my clothes to pull up to a stand. Love the way she not only explores the floor but also tries to pick up any small speck of item and puts it immediately in her mouth and makes a chewing motion even if she didnt get anything in, making us all go down on the floor with her to see what she put in her mouth. Love the way she says 'um' every single time we call her. Loves the way she talks to her toys. Love the way she says mama, amma, papa, appa, and also sometimes whispers the same. Love the way she gets excited when she gets a tiny speck of ParleG biscuit when we eat some and her happiness when eating it. Love the way she screams when she is unhappy. Love the way she arches her back to ask us to take her out of the high chair. Love the way her cries stop like a flip switch when I lift her. Love the way she gets so excited when looking at all the stuff at WalMart, wanting to touch and taste everything. Love the way she gets excited looking at the colorful pages of Goodnight Moon, touching the red balloon, the stars, the night sky, the kitten and everything. Love the way she shows her preference to color pages over black and white with cries and pushes. Love how one minute she is playing peekaboo and the next minute she is yawning and the next minute she is asleep. Love how she tries hard to defy basic laws of physics. When we give her the bottle when she is playing, she would put her mouth on the upright bottle and suck hard. Obviously no milk would reach her. If we tilt her so the milk would flow she would just tilt her head when her body is straight as she continues to play. She also sometimes drinks like its some snack, takes a few sips, continues playing, and comes back for more and so on. Yesterday at Walmart, I was trying to give her the bottle while she sat in the stroller. She was playing with the bottle cap also. At one point, she wanted both the bottle AND the cap in her mouth! Baby, there is only so much multitasking one can do! She would drink her milk, push it away to put the cap in her mouth, then she would see the milk and again pull it to herself to drink and continue alternating. For now she seems to prefer me over DH, if I may say so. I know it wont last long. Daughters will obviously prefer dads. So I will bask in glory for a while.
Little baby, how come I find you so cute? I love your bright little eyes, and tiny little nose, and your gummy mouth. Your little fingers with strong grasp enough to pull out all my hair at once. Your strong legs that kick a storm. I even find your tiny little tummy cute beyond words. I am totally smitten, and love you a ton. My heart will break if something were to happen to you. Being a parent is an intensely conflicting experience I think, the conflict is between an individual wanting to live his/her life and the person who wants to throw everything away and just dance to the tunes of the little being she/he created. |
