Milestones

My baby turned 5 months old yesterday, and I realized i’m already late to begin recording his milestones. While Masoom and I have captured all important moments, we haven’t compiled them in one place. Parents do all kinds of special things for their newborns- professional photoshoots, custom made clothes, monthly birthday celebrations. We haven’t done anything of that sort. While I don’t think that that makes us bad parents, I do feel that there should be some place which Gautam can return to when he is older. A place which lets him know how special he is to us and how excited we were to have him in our lives.

This blog is going to be that place for him…and us. So here is my resolution to never abandon this blog. Besides being a companion for my personal journey, this Blog will also be a place for all the precious memories that we make as a family and a place through which Masoom and I communicate with our son.

So here goes- a lists of Gautam’s “firsts” so far:
