That First smile!

The last couple of days were spent thinking about all the topics close to my heart and I somehow seem to be enjoying this journey of self-introspection. As I lost time letting my mind wander deep into some of the important happenings of the past, there was one incident that made me feel great and brought a wide smile on my face! Happiness sure grows when shared, so I decided to share that incident with you all and make it infectious :)

And yes, its about my little cupcake who has made my life so colorful ever since she was born. So little V was a much awaited baby at our home, for it was a while since there were any baby blues :) I used to be super active and energetic when carrying V that i would sometimes forget that I was carrying. That surely shows now, as I see little V super active and looking forward to life with so much excitement.

It was 2 AM and a usual night routine for the little one when she was 5 weeks old. I was tired of waking up from sleep for her usual feed. I was so tired and could hardly keep my eyes open. My mom, my guardian angel was around to help me out if i needed any assistance. However, i dint want to disturb her because she had done enough during the day for me and the baby. I peeped into the cradle to see the little one wide awake shaking her arms and legs vigorously ! Until then, I had not seen her acknowledging my presence. I must admit it was a wonderful feeling. Until then she was a new born who just needed to be fed and cleaned. But that night was different.. she seemed to know me.. i felt great.. As i finished up with feeding and burping her, i put her on my lap to see if she was still awake, and she did something so so beautiful that I will never forget it till my last breath. She gave me this wonderful toothless smile, a warm one looking into my eyes.. I almost froze in that moment, as i realized that this tiny little creature was responding back to my emotions. She spoke to me in the language we all knew but used little, the language of love. 

Been more than 3 years now, ever since that night, but its been moments such as these that makes me look forward to beautiful things in life , reassure my belief in goodness and calm me down when the days are rough.

Hope this post gave you a good feeling and made you nostalgic about some of your life's best moments too!! May these best memories stay on forever!
