Baby jokes

It was an exciting morning. Our gunden wakes up and started to caress my forehead (that is our current routine wake up act). So, I carried him slightly after kissing him and placed him in between me and Satya. Just then we noticed that one of his socks was missing and acknowledged him about it. I quickly found the missing sock and placed it on his hand. He examined the sock attentively and after careful considerations, he placed the sock on Satya’s left ear. Amused by his act, I started laughing. Seeing that he has entertained his mom, and something was funny, he mimicked my laughter and continue to put the sock on Satya’s ear and tested if I laughed again. It was a hilarious moment as we continued to laugh everytime he puts the sock on Satya's ear. As the joke started to wear off, Satya and I started to converse about something else. Just then, he held the sock, looked at me and mimicked the most artificial laughter as if wanting me to laugh. Of course, I naturally laughed to his gimmick and cuddled him. Well, that’s our 10 month old gunden. Progressing each day with something either unique or funny. His presence certainly changed our life and we are constantly laughing, happy, and merry because of him. Of course, our lives are still full of troubles and hardships but looking at him eases our mind and keeps us going J

He walks

My baby is 9 months old now and he had started walking. It started with fast crawling around 6-7 months, standing up with support around 7 months, cruising and now walking. He started clumsily and now the steps are getting steadier. He enjoys being chased, also loves to chase us, and most importantly he loves to play hide and seek. He likes to find us at our hidden spots based on our voices calling for him. My parents are visiting now and he enjoys their company too with Satya and I around. When I’m sitting down and my back faces him, he loves to lunge and bite my back (he's still toothless at this point) while hugging me. He loves to kiss my cheeks and bite my chin. He loves to pull and bite our hair as well. Satya enjoys when he cries when he leaves to work. It’s nice to see so much happiness in Satya’s face these days. Having a child, changes so many things and our life revolves around our son at the time being. We love him too much and look forward every day to spend time with him. We are also proud to have raised and learn to raise him mostly by ourselves. We hope to raise a healthy, happy, caring and confident kid. We have registered to enroll him in daycare at the university that I belong too. He is currently so much attached to me, and I dread the day that I have to leave him at a daycare to work. It will be difficult for me as well as I have not left him to be cared by anyone else but us, his parents. But, my doctorate work is long pending and I have to finish my thesis and submit a paper for publication by the end of September 2016. Also, he is almost always alone and fearing that playtime may get routine and also to let him socialize and explore the world around him, it is best for him to interact with other kids. Daycare at Osaka University seems to be the best choice as they have excellent care takers. I just hope that my son learns that amma has to finish her studies and that the separation is just temporary. I hope he learns very fast that I will always return for him and that I live for him....
