So I knew babies couldn't talk - out loud. What I did not know was that they could express in so many other ways: their eyes, their coos, their hands and legs, their cries, their facial expressions, and so on!
Until Ananya was born, of course.
Before even seeing her for the first time, I heard her cry. And I knew she was okay.
When she lay at the heated examination table, her eyes wide with wonder (I think.), I knew she was ready to see the world. Especially as she was late in coming out and had to be induced. :D
When she purses her lips just before she is about to start wailing, she tells me to pick her up before the siren goes off. ;)
She goes "woohoo" when she sees toddlers.
She screams her lungs out when we try to rock her to sleep against her wishes. When she wakes up from her nap, fully refreshed, she coos in this typical way to let us know just that.
Squinting eyes, screaming eyes (yes, believe me.), the oh-so-small face when she is sad, the serene, moon-like surface when she sleeps, the twinkle in her eyes when she sees her favorite toy, or well, her dad :D, the totally screwed-up face when we got her ears pierced, and when we had to take out the earring because of an infection, the seemingly shy smile she breaks into when we blow raspberries - what a range of expression she has! Oh, I could go on and on... but wait, while I am at it, I would miss some more expressions. So let me get back to admiring them! :)
