An infant so very small, with its little noise that never does impose.
small little hands, ten perfect little fingers, small little feet, ten perfect little toes 
kitten softness, invites a fingers touch, a kiss on its nose. 

 

 

I am taking care of my 11-month-old grandson. I love every-minute and he's stolen my heart. I've seen the growth within him with lots of love and affection he gets. He is crawling and into everything.  I never realized how many things needed for this small infant.

Car seat or they won't let you leave the hospital without one 
As many diapers as you think you'll need 
Diaper bag that handles everything you need on the go
Baby changing table, diaper change as quick as you can they get pretty squirmy
Wipes for their sensitive skin
Diaper rash ointment relieves baby's painful rash
Grocery store plastic bags, fantastic for disposing all those stinky diapers
Baby bath tub, there is such a sweet smell of a freshly bathed baby  
No tears baby soap
Washcloths
Baby bath towels hooded or non-hooded
Sleepers with buttons and snaps, they are so much easier to put on
Swaddle or baby blankets, wrapped snug arms from wiggling free
Nail clippers, he loves scratching the back of my arms and face
Baby brush
Baby comb
Thermometer
Baby clothes, they'll grow out of it so fast
Socks 
Shoes 
Bottles 
Formula or milk for hungry 
Bottle brush
Baby teething ring to relieve sore gums 
Baby binkis it tends to calm them when they are not feeding
Baby dishes
Baby spoon
Variety of baby food and cereal
Juices 
Highchair 
Bibs
A rocking chair to rock and kiss them good night.
Bassinet or Crib 
Crib sheets 
Toys, age appropriate for learning
Baby walker, fantastic to keep them busy for a little while 
Stroller, a must when you walk or shop
Baby proof your whole house, once they start crawling, they are into everything
Camera, time goes so fast you'll want to remember it all.

A dream worth living for
Born in the image of an unspoiled soul
Newborn stretches it's small limbs 
Hungers, cries, crawls, and walks 
A new peaceful dawn, a new world unfurled
