My son is 8 months old now. During his first 2 months I used to think, it would be better once he reaches around 6 months. I had my reasons then,
- He is too brittle to lift, carry, bath and so on.
- Need to spend time to burp him after every feeding.
- Won't understand why he is crying.
Now, while the above problems got reduced. There are 'n' number of new problems.
The biggest problem is, "he moves now". While he moving(crawling) is nice to see, he does lot more then that. He tries to stand and falls down, then he CRIES. He moves near by objects and push it, when the object falls he CRIES. He moves close to the door and waits there, when we open unknowingly(even slowly), he CRIES. He now puts everything in his mouth, if we take them away, he CRIES. If he gets hungry, he CRIES. If he didn't get our attention immediately, he CRIES. If he gets sleepy and we delayed in putting him to bed, he CRIES. Oh My God, previous state is so much better.
Sometimes, I will think when this phase will get over. Then, immediately I will realize that the next phase might be even worse.
But, this little fellow exactly knows what he has to do to make us tolerate all this. He smiles and crawls towards us when he sees us after some gap(like 30minutes). That small thing will make us fall in love with him over and over again. Ofcourse, not just that.
- His eagerness to respond when I talk to him. (Ofcourse, I don't understand his language)
- He trying to do new things everyday.
- His adorable face expressions.
One hand, I feel when will he grow up. On the other hand, I am worried that he is growing up too fast and I will be missing this version of him. By the way, I am already missing the earlier version of my son.
