Dear Son,
You are 7
days old today. 8 days in fact if we include the day that you were born. So far
you have been the angel baby that Mommy and Daddy have been yearning for.
Granny has been helping out with us taking care of you.
It is
amazing to see you growing up despite just 7 days. In this week alone, we have
witnessed very comforting phenomenon from you.
1. You have tears!
Usually newborns will not have tears till probably 3 months later? In case you
didn’t know, there is a way to determine whether a cry is fake or real by means
of the presence of tears. So ok, whenever you tear, we know you are not
kidding!
2. You start to extend
out your limbs! When you were in Mommy’s tummy, I am certain that you are
constantly in a fetal position: hugging yourself really tight in a
claustrophobic and dark space. It is little wonder you enjoy being swaddled
really tight and your limbs stuck by your little body. It was difficult to
reach out and clean those crevices between your thighs and arms. You may end up
smelling like Daddy if you don’t open them up soon! But you did.
3. Mommy kind of found
out that you tend to fall asleep easier when she dumps you in a prone position
on your belly. Somehow it works so please explain to us how ok? Daddy thinks
that this position may not be the most comfy but if it shuts you up when you
are cranky, we will do it. However the point is we see you starting to and the
best thing: Pushing yourselves up and lifting your neck to rotate to the other
side! Granny says that you will be pretty strong in future. Daddy agrees except
that strong is an understatement: My son shall be legendary strong haha!
4. My goodness, within 3 days of leaving the hospital, you have increased your milk intake by a whopping 100%. From 30ml to 60ml of milk was how much it took to put you to bed. At times even 60ml wasn’t enough. You sure have inherited Daddy’s appetite.

By the time
you are able to read and comprehend Daddy’s articles, you may think that those
points I’ve made are insignificant beyond redemption. However those small
achievements made by our 192-hours old son mean the world to us. We cherish
these small moments of you growing up bit by bit, cell by cell.
We love you
so much and yes we do love to smell you too. It just runs in the family. Oh
yes, have we told you we discovered you actually may have 2 dimples instead of
one? Daddy sure hopes so!
Love, Daddy
