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. 7/29/2019 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 5/14/2019 Poetry Contest: Writing Challenge 3, July 2019 - List Sponsored by: Dear Heart
