Parenthood was a learning experience! I'm sure many of you can think of a million things you did as a new mom. But now as a Grandmother @Grandma,
I am now just experiencing this role. I have heard stories that the love for grandchildren will be different from the love for your own child. Most of my friends who are already in the ‘Grandma circle’ said, that you will love your grandchild more than your own. I have yet to confirm if this is true. I'm learning every day that you can never be prepared for what lies ahead and the experiences you go through. I hope that we as grandparents will not spoilt our grandson as Datu Danial is the first grandchild for our in-laws as well.
Datu Amir Shah Danial bin Datu Ahmad Shah was born on 17th February 2010 a day after his Grandfather turn 60 years old. Born 3.02kg, he is now 7.5 kg.. He is growing sooo fast. He is now almost 4 months and getting physically stronger and better able to coordinate movementsHe is sleeping a little better …as most nights Danial will be sleeping with us (my hubby and I) since we want his mother who had a caesarian. to have her rest too. And yes, I said sleeping! He is finally getting his days and nights on track, but still not sleeping more than a couple hours at a time.
Danial is becoming a "momma's boy" and loves to cuddle. He is responding to us with coos and gurgles, and now responds to smile with a smile. At times, he will squeal with delight and laugh out loud. . He may have not liked something a week ago, he may now. Danial can now open and shut his fists and learning to hold his bottle.
I read that we need to encourage the learning process by talking to your little one, responding to his vocal expressions, and providing colorful age-appropriate toys. His parents and us his grandparents (His mum;s side as well), have bought for him. His parents are so eager and anxious to see him grow and learn to walk, that they have already bought him a 'walker'. hehehe..
I'm learning things every single day and I'm doing things that I had already almost forgotten, having 5 children of my own. Like, surviving on a few hours of sleep, and running errands etc. I've been getting a pretty small amount of sleep lately. Mostly, due to my busy schedule hence, I don’t have time to sleep in the afternoon. I'm running on my backup batteries right now and they must be the generic brand to energize me. …This whole experience is just amazing and I couldn't be happier.
I couldn't write this boring blog without posting a couple pictures!!
