Re-living My Life
My lovely daughter – Pumpkin – turns 6-months’ old today. And this is what my weekly (BabyCenter) update has to say about the important milestone:
This month your baby will really learn to put her hands to good use. She’ll quickly master the art of raking objects toward herself and she’ll figure out how to move something from one hand to the other. And once she learns that she can hold something in each hand, she’ll quickly realize how much fun it is to bang them together. She’ll want to practice this new skill, so if you think you can stand the noise, set aside one kitchen drawer or cabinet and fill it with baby-safe pots and pans for her to play with.
I find myself re-living my life through the newfound experiences of being a Father.
Can you remember the time when the biggest development in your life was the discovery that you can hold two different things in two different hands, and bang them together ?!
P.S. : See Babycenter’s Milestone Chart if you want to see more such fascinating developments !
It is humbling to realise that all of our species go through the same process of physical development in this journey of life.this is one of the innumerable laws of nature that prevail over us.Why could we all not have purity of thought and goodness programmed into our minds just as all our noses have two nostrils ? The nature of Life remains a mystery.. I have no recollection of my life in the first five years and wonder what my mind as a toddler thought..
Congratulations!!! I’m sure this is the greatest joy you have ever known!
I loved when my daughter was that age, shes almost 10 now, it will go fast!
