Half a year

It's already new year 2006 and Baby Khalis is now 6 and a half months! He can get up on all fours and leaps forward like a froggie. Learning to coordinate his and hands and legs and is beginning to crawl properly. His fourth tooth is visible and he already has 2 big bunny teeth and a little tooth on the bottom (which was the very first tooth to appear.)
He's able to pull himself up when he's sitting in his cot. Argh! He's growing up too fast! I kinda miss those times when he wasn't able to move as much. When he could only look at me and grin and he was all mine to carry and nurture...
I remember how small he was when he was born. The first time the nurse put his small cot beside my bed, I was overcome by a feeling of joy and awe. How can a little person, so tiny and helpless catches your breath and keeps you fixated? The magic of a newborn...
As the hours and days went by, the feeling became too overwhelming, making me a little depressed. Baby blues they call it. I was confined to my privacy. I needed to take it slow and breath. My little bundle of joy was not as I had expected. But then again, what was I expecting? Thankfully, he slept a lot and is a contented baby. Adjusting to motherhood was tough and there were times when I wonder if I was doing it right.
Now, my tiny baby has grown into a lil 'dinosaur'. His cheeks, thighs, arms and tummy are filled up! =D He grunts and squeals when he wants your attention. Can be a bit grumpy every now and then.. just like his daddee!
I'm happy and proud that my son is developing well and we are able to bring him up in a proper environment; considering we don't get a lot of help from others, just an advice here and there, which suits us just fine)
He can be a handful these days, but he makes us happy with his cheekiness. Never failing to thrill us with his new abilities and with his every smile! =)
