14 months !

Dear Aarush,
Today you turned 14 months old -that's one year and 2 months. There is a kind of sadness that you will be soon out of the baby phase and a kind of excitement/anxiety to see you hit new milestones and grow into a young man. For some reason I wanted to see your first picture today, the one your dad took when you were just born. You looked like this

and today you look like this

I freaked out and was overwhelmed for the first few weeks of your birth. I wouldn't let anybody hold you too hard or too light. I was over protective. I  called you "Chitti chilaka", "Nanna", "Kannaya"  and by all other silly names. You were the most easy baby, you were never too cranky, easy to feed, easy to be burped, not many split ups, no major health deals and I never had or can remember any transition problems with you and I thank god for it.  You are my precious first child and I learn't to be a mom.
I will be writing more of these letters randomly or whenever my hormones hit the emotional chord.
For now, Happy 14 months son!

Love,
Mom.
