Good morning. How you have a good night rest.
I was discussing with a friend who is a nursing mother last December and opined and I quite agreed with her that, ‘ baby growth is both scary and teary.’
Why did she say that and why did I agree? Because, in the space of 6 months, we have seen our boys and girls grow and develop, dropping our character or the other and displaying another one – both funny, not-so-funny, good and bad, bumbling and sick, in a jiffy.
And I won’t deceive you, they will still overgrow their present stages but as a father (or mother) you can make it memorable for you and baby by doing the following:
- Play with them. Laugh with them because a baby smile can disarm the formidable USA Army 😀😀😀. I can bet it with you that the smile won’t come every time you are with him/her, but each time you are opportune to have one, you will enjoy it and trust me, it doesn’t last ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
- Document his/her milestones. Be it crying, naming, baptismal, crawling, first step, starting school, family visits, grandma’s backing, play moments, one achievement or the other, etc. Take as many pictures and videos as possible – not necessarily for social media posting but for you to see the growth and development and be happy that you are in the lives of your kids and two, to preserve their childhood for them*
If you can take them two steps, baby fatherhood can be enjoyable for you.
Thanks for reading.
*make sure you backup your videos and photos to Google Drive/photo to safeguard it.
