Newborn feelings

Someone said - "Making a decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body"

A couple of days ago, one of my friends had a baby girl. I was looking at the pictures of the newborn and it is amazing how these cute little doodlebugs can make you feel the same wonderful way everytime!
Sometimes, I wonder what might be going on in the tiny head of theirs! Those 9 months in the tummy, it must have been so cozy and comfortable with all the warmth and suddenly they are out in the open! The confusion, curiosity and the awe - watching everything and taking all in with their wide little eyes.

There is something about these newborns - whenever I look at them just out in the world, unconsciously I remember Tarush when he was born, what the day was like, the first sight of him just popped out and those 10 little fingers and 10 little toes curled up tight.. Then ofcourse, I open his first year album, refresh my memories of the past year and reminisce those mini milestones of their series of firsts - first smile, first bath, first word, frist step... And I look at him now grown up doing new things everyday and realize how fast time has flown by.
