And They Grow So Fast...

Babies changed at least three times in the first few months or so these folks say. As newborns, they mostly look like any newborns out there. Small, fragile, puffy and sleepy. And then as days passed, you will notice that they are starting to look more and more like either one of their parents. This will be the first of many change you will see in weeks to come. You will wonder, who does my baby look like? Me or Daddy? He's got my eyes but his daddy's nose. Or is it the other way around? Didn't he look like Mommy a while ago? You might not see the change but as days go by, you will notice the difference.

Aduka looks like his Mommy when he was born and then slowly we realise he actually looks like his Daddy. Small, dark and mysterious. Here is why we thought he looks like Mommy. He was born really fair a few months ago, with rosy cheeks until the UV light treatment for his jaundice tanned the little fella. It doesn't help that Aduka stretches a lot as a newborn, which further darkens him with every stretch and makes him look red. Stretching all day. His Daddy's trait. I stretched too but only in the mornings. Anyways, that aside, we are just really thankful he is a healthy bundle of joy.
