A newborn takes up the entire universe of their parents the instant they are born. There is unmatched delight and excitement in celebrating every coo, smile, and little milestone. We are thrust into a world as new parents when time seems to stop and each minute is treasured like a priceless jewel.
Seeing how fast development happens is one of the most fascinating things about the baby world. Infants are always learning and exploring their environment, from their first hesitant movements to their first steps. New experiences—the feel of holding a toy, the sound of their own laughter, the flavor of their first solid food—arrive every day. Before our eyes, a path of development that leaves us in wonder of the amazing process of life.
But there’s a whole universe of feelings and relationships just waiting to be discovered, beyond the tangible turning points. These precious times spent kissing, hugging, and whispering lullabies strengthen the relationship between parent and child. There is a connection that speaks louder than words, a quiet comprehension.
There are several different ways that babies communicate. Every sound, every gesture—from the soft gurgles of a newborn to the chattering talks of an inquisitive toddler—is a way of expression. We parents pick up on these cues to interpret the wants and desires concealed behind those innocent eyes. Said from the heart rather than the tongue, it’s a dance of love and empathy.
And there are the inexhaustible marvels of the developing mind, a world of invention, curiosity, and imagination. Simple joys like feeling the softness of a warm blanket or watching a vibrant mobile spin overhead can arouse instants of pure delight and excitement. On this voyage of discovery, we parents take on the role of tour guides, urging our children to look around them with wide-eyed amazement.
But there are obstacles to overcome, even in the middle of the wonders of childhood. The never-ending cycle of feeding and nappy changes, sleepless nights, and teething problems can try even the most patient of souls. We discover our parenting strength in these trying times, though, as we tap into stores of love and resiliency we never realized we had.
The touch of a little hand in ours, the sound of contagious laughter filling the room, the wonderful sensation of holding a sleeping baby near to our hearts—all of life’s small pleasures are brought back to us as we travel through the world of babies. We change on this path, becoming the parents we were destined to be.
Let us thus welcome every second of this journey into the fascinating world of babies—the successes and the setbacks, the laughing and the weeping. Ultimately, though, it comes down to experiencing the deep beauty of love in its most basic form rather than merely nurturing a child. We discover the biggest adventure of all in the eyes of our children.
