Sometimes all I want to do is press my face against Chinipie and breathe her milky-self in deeply.
So I do.
It's great being a momma.

She
Smells So Good
I love
her tiny feet so much that I keep kissing them the whole day.
The portrait snaps had come a long ago and the walls of our house are decorated now.
Not to mention, this is my favourite snap of them all..

Miracles of Motherhood!
You might be the worst singer in the whole universe, but your voice is the sweetest and most melodious to your baby's ears! You might be the laziest person when it comes to scratch your gray cells to come up with something, but with your child you would be at your creativity best!

Fresh Mornings
Our mornings now-a-days are so fresh and bright as never before! We wake up to Chinipie's chuckles and gurgles and beaming smiles as we wish her good morning and recite our little morning prayer. And then all her coos and goos are sure to shake off the remnants of sleep from mum's and dad's eyes. She has that twinkle in her eyes and is all active cycling her legs and hands as she gets attention and is showered with kisses.
Her ways of waking up the parents are more or less the same. Usually, after the early morning feeds, she would look up at me and smile. (I really love it when she smiles at me when nursing, with which I am bestowed almost all through the day!). If my eyes are still closed and she realizes that she would have to make an extra effort to wake up mom, the smile would be followed by a 'aye'!, then a second 'aye' and then another 'aye' until mom opens her groggy eyes, looks at her and smiles back. And this is what her catch is! Just open your eyes and make an eye contact - she would make sure that you are not able to close your eyes again! She would smile at you so sweetly that you would die out of guilt of not playing with her if you dare to close your eyes!!
The morning chit-chat and the enthusiastic echoes between baby and mom tempts dad to wake up and join the clutter. What else could be a better start for the day!

Weird Dreams!!
Before I forget, I want to log the weird set of dreams I had in the morning. They were in a series one after the other and after each of them, I distinctly remember waking up and thinking, 'that was a strange one!' before passing off to the dream world once again! I now remember only two of them.
In the first one I see myself Chinipie, but when I look at my arms, she is not there! And yet I am nursing him. Scene change- DH is sleeping on the bed on his side and now wants to change side. I almost yell out,'Careful! she is sleeping just behind you!' and he turns very slowly so as not to hurt her as both of us look down at his side and again there's nobody there!! hmmm. very weird!
In the second dream, all three of us are swimming, when DH and I get out of the pool to discuss something leaving Chinipie in her floating tubes in there by herself (?!??) when she realizes that her momma is not beside her and calls for me. We are standing just outside the pool and I turn around to see her coming out of the pool using the steel rails. I warn her to be careful when she stuns me by standing on her two little feet with me poking DH with my elbow saying ecstatically, 'Look, she is standing on her own!' Again, a weird one!!
If my theory that some of the dreams are mostly based on whatever we have been thinking or whatever happened during the day, then I think I can understand the basis of these dreams to some extent. They might have some root in the events occurred earlier in the evening. I was looking into some of the baby magazines, where I had read that it's not safe for the babies to sleep in the bed with parents and I had thought to myself, 'These people are very careless. We all grew up this way!'. Chinipie has her own crib and sleeps in there in the night, but mostly when I take her out of the crib for the middle of the night feedings, I feel very tired and sleepy to put her back in there. So, I carefully, let her sleep with me by my side. This might explain the dream 1 to some extent.
The dream 2, I guess, is related to my visit to one of our neighbours, in whose lap Chinipie had tried to put her feet when she was holding her in her arms. This neighbour, who has one year daughter of her own, was surprised that such a small child would want to stand! (Talking of the visit to the neighbours reminds me, their lovely daughter, A, was very happy to see the baby and me there and was happily trotting around me when Chini, pecked on my shoulder, had noticed her and started shouting herself in excitement! You should have noticed the look on both of their faces!! Chini looking down, shouting with excitement and A looking up, bewildered, silent (she had been chirping happily just a second before) and wondering as to what is happened suddenly!! I take it as an indication that I should arrange play-dates for Chini or at least, start taking out her to the classes held for babies. Time for her to make her own friends! :))) Swimming would have been there because DH and I both love swimming and plan to take Chini for the sport once she's old enough. So, now that I look back, I conclude that these dreams were not as weird as they had seemed early in the morning. May be the other ones which I have forgotten would also have some linkage.
Or may be, the only basis for these dreams is that my thoughts and my life now are prevailed by Chinipie - I, literally, eat, drink, and sleep Chinipie!!
