Happy 6 months, babies...

Its the babies 6th month today. We had witnessed their growth over these 6 months with a lot of joy though we faces challenges which any new parents will have faced. The only difference is that we had double dose of the good and the bad. Felin and I aren't really very hands-on people. We don't normally learn new practical skills fast and naturally. Our characters are somehow slow moving and prefer to do things at a relaxing pace. Thats why I think our learning curve are probably a bit more steep than a normal new parent when we need to learn and adapt very quickly. Our decision to breastfeed and the fact that Felin is a busy working mother adds on to our stress.

6 months is fast for those who watch our babies in facebook or those who visit us occasionally but to us, this 6 months feel so long and we seems to accomplished so many things over this short time frame. I somehow feel overwhelmed that there are so many things yet to come and thousand of challenges still awaiting us to learn. The babies are getting more difficult because they knew what they want and is capable in making a lot of complains when they are not able to achieve their objectives. The way they shout and cry are very different from what we see compared to 2 to 3 months ago. Their cries back then were predictable which can just be hungry or wetting their diapers. Their cries today can be due to boredom, feeling hot, feel sleepy, just wanting our presence, etc...

Time will continue to crawl and we have years to learn in this parenting journey. I must continue to lead in this family as a Father, psychologically, financially and spiritually. May God bless me with good health, good business and wisdom in my relationship and career...
