Our
first baby Andriel made our life almost complete. It was
a wonderful feeling the first time we had a
glimpse of his face, his smile, when we first heard his cry, his
voice. You can imagine how great that occasion was.
It's the happiest moment of our lives
indeed...... But the responsibilities of new parenthood are
awesome and dramatic. Thank God, Lola was always there to help
us in the beginning.
But with grandma not around, it's really hard. Good thing we
got this great book "What to Expect the First Year"
which answers almost all our questions. It contains such accurate
information that it seems we have a pediatrician living with us.
On this page we will be sharing this information,
experiences and tips from time to time which might be of help to new
parents like us.

Portrait of a
Newborn
Most first-time parents are
unprepared for the appearance of the bundle of joy that is handed
them at delivery. The good news: Your new baby will sleep a lot during these
first few weeks (up to a total of 17 hours a day!). The bad news: It won't be
all at once. Since most babies won't sleep through the night for months, sleep
deprivation is a fact of life for new parents. But did you know that,
babies can be trained to sleep through the night starting in the
fourth month. It will be good for you and for the baby as
well. We will tell you more about it.

 "I can crawl now!.. come
on catch me!" |
 "Come on, let's play!"
Andriel shows a lot of motor development during the fifth
month. He started turning-ove,r then moving around, crawling,
sitting, standing and a lot of things to explore his capabilities.
Check the Baby Milestones page to see how's your baby's
growth and development. |
 "I'm
five months old! I can do a lot of things now. Want to
see, some of them?" |
 "See!
I am now developing the new
software program that you may be using in the future. I'll be
updating my web page so you'd better visit us again, okay?" You
will need some patience to deal with these explorations of your little
angel. Give him some old magazines to read when he's
approaching you while you're reading. Let him rip it up he wants to. |
