Like a Rose

Clad in pink and looking sweet,
Baby booties on her feet,
There’s nothing like a baby girl,
With rosy cheeks and shiny curls!

As precious as a tiny gem,
With flowers sewn upon her hem,
This dainty girl is quite a dear,
Her little face is so sincere.

She’s looking lovely as a rose,
From pudgy feet to button nose,
Yes, baby girls are sweet as pie,
To love her, you don’t have to try!

My Precious Baby

My precious little peach is what I live for,
From the moment I saw her face my heart began to pour.

I love her chubby little hands and tiny little feet,
And her big dark blue eyes that stare into me deep.

From her soft olive skin to her button nose,
I love my baby girl from her head to her toes.

A thick head of brown hair and gummy smile,
I could go on and on but it would take another mile.

Sweet Baby Boy

Hang in there sweet baby boy, not yet ready to be born,
God make sure this baby is well and healthy and happy.

Sweet baby boy you’re like a flower the seed in the womb,
Stork come right on time not too early.

Mother and Father’s pride & joy, their first baby,
Let doves bring your baby.

Poem of the Month

I Dreamt of You

I dreamt of you and can’t wait to see,
The first smile on your beautiful face.

I hope the world is what you expect,
I hope your dreams are all fully met.

All the love this family has given,
Will teach you to love all others.

So now we wait till that moment,
When we can tickle your toes and steal your nose.

Till the moment, when the baby will know the same love.
Every time you look at these stars, remember that I love You.

Poem of the Month

On The Day You Were Born

On the day you were born I held you so tight,
Your skin was so soft, and I never felt so right.

I never knew I could love something so much,
But then I felt your loving touch.

Needless to say I was in love,
I swear you came from many heavens above.

You came home in nothing but blue.
And I swear ever since my love just grew.

Your first smile melted my heart.
The way you look at me I know you’re so smart.

From your wiggles to your laughter,
I swear this is happily ever after.

I know there will be many firsts for my little joy.
Today is your first birthday I love you baby BOY!

Baby Footprint Poem

If you have already started a scrapbook for your little one, feel free to add this poem along side his or her footprint. With so many milestones along the way, don’t forget to document each one. When they are all grown up and you go back and look at all the keepsakes that you saved, you will be thankful. Also, it’ll probably bring a tear to your eye. That said, here’s a beautiful footprint poem. I hope you enjoy it!

Reminder

A little baby’s footprint,
Impressed upon the clay,
Will serve as a reminder
Of this moment and this day.

It makes a lovely keepsake
And a valuable heirloom,
It looks so nice upon the shelf
In precious baby’s room.

The sweet and chubby little toes
Will never be so small,
One day you will just be so big,
And grow so very tall!

Things to Remember about Baby Clothes

Buying clothes for your baby is not the same as doing so for others. This is because in the case of your baby, you have to take all the decisions yourself. The baby is still not mature enough to have a taste or preference of its own.

Moreover, your child cannot convey whether a particular dress is comfortable or not. That is why you have to keep certain important facts in mind while shopping for baby clothes. It is always advisable to go for slightly larger dresses for a newborn baby. The reason is that in the initial few weeks, a baby grows really fast and if you buy a fitting dress, it would soon become too small for the child. In some cases, the clothes that are supposedly meant for newborns do not even fit them properly if the baby is slightly bigger in size.

The choice of baby clothes is also dependent on the fact whether you are using diapers or not. If your baby does not wear a diaper, you should purchase clothes that have a zipper on the front or the bottom has a snap opening. If you go for clothes that require pulling them off from the head of the baby, it has to be made sure that the clothes have a very soft opening in the neck area so that it can be easily removed from the head without applying much force.

When it comes to baby clothes, extra attention has to be paid to washing and cleaning. A baby’s skin is very sensitive and easily susceptible to rashes and infections. In such a scenario, you have to be careful about the fabric used as well as the method applied to clean them. It is preferable to go for clothes that can be dried clean with the help of machines or hand washed easily.

Elastics, snaps and zippers sometimes cause much discomfort to babies especially if they are placed in awkward spots. A child can also feel uncomfortable if the dress is too tight and the elastic or the zipper rubs against its skin. This can also result in its skin getting scratched and bruised by the repeated stroking. Zippers are a bit difficult to avoid. That is why it is important to go for clothes where the zippers have a protective layer of fabric beneath so that it does not come in direct contact with the baby’s skin.

In most baby clothes, there is one more clothing layer so that they can be protected from cold. There are many clothes that are available in the market which come with the facility of adding or removing the layers. It is always better to go for them so that your baby can wear them in all seasons. These are some of the important things to remember about children clothes.

Some Facts about Baby Boys

A baby is, after all, a baby. In that case, there should not be any difference between a baby boy and a girl. However, in reality, it is not so. Right from their birth, a number of differences can be noticed between a baby boy and a girl and this paves the path for the obvious differences that exist between them later on in life.

Let us discuss some of the tendencies that can be noticed in a baby boy. It cannot be contested that baby boys have an inclination to kick more right from their birth which means they are much more active than their female counterparts. When it comes to gross motor skills, they are a notch higher than girls and that is the reason why they tend to walk sooner than girls. That means you do not have to make any extra effort to make him walk steadily. Rather, you would have to concentrate on his fine motor abilities.

You would also notice that baby boys take a little bit more time to begin talking. This is because the portion of the brain that is responsible for processing language has lesser nerve cells and this impacts their ability to vocalize their thoughts easily. Also, when they at last begin talking, they do not use much complex sentences and prefer using simple ones. Speech delay is quite common among little boys and if your child is taking time to talk, there is no need to feel panicky. However, you can consult a professional if other boys that are of the same age as him begin conversing while he does not.

If you have a baby boy, you need to be extra careful since he is more at risk when it comes to respiratory infections. Bronchiolitis is one illness that many baby boys suffer from along with asthma and wheezing. The reason for this is boys’ mature skeletal systems are not as much as the girls. However, you have reason to smile as it is much easier to change nappies of little boys than that of baby girls.

It is also natural for baby boys to play with cars and guns rather than dolls. It is true that some of these traits are a result of social conditioning that start from birth itself, but scientific tests have also confirmed that there are some intrinsic differences between the two sexes and they are bound to make themselves apparent from infancy itself.

It is a myth that boys are not as emotional as girls. In fact, if you analyze the behavior of a baby boy, you would notice that there is hardly any truth to the statement. It is very common for baby boys to become easily upset when separated from their mother. This is because they take time to socialize and communicate. These are some of the lesser known facts that you should remember in connection to little boys.

Baby On Rails

Why does PHP and HTML sleep in the same crib,
Whenever I look, they’re sharing a bib.
They seem to support some code they call OOP,
I find it irrelevant, more concerned with my Poop!

Next thing you know I have a full diaper,
All this crap code is making me hyper.
They talk about simplicity and the importance of speed,
Give me two more days, and I’ll learn how to read.

My pet Python can easily extend,
Ruby on rails is my elegant friend.
MySQL has forks such as Drizzle,
It may even leak and gradually fizzle.

Is it true that flexibility is Perl?
If you don’t feed me, that camel I’ll hurl.
My mommy says, I possess dynamic features,
When I get older, I’ll make fun of my teachers.

Maybe I’ll remain in the crib, and be happy with static,
Curiosity won’t allow it, I must become pragmatic.
Crawl, walk, or tricycle, what’s easier to maintain?
The bottom line – I must expand my brain!

A baby shower idea

Babies are life’s most precious miracles. They are the beautiful joy brought into a couple’s life. It’s a new beginning for the couple as they start on this new adventure of taking care of a little human being, you see the big smile on their faces, the happy tears in their eyes, and the love between the family grow much deeper by the minute.

When you look into babies eyes, they sparkle with joy and their smile is like a perfect Kodak moment, it’s a moment you don’t ever want to end. Its life’s little experiences that make it worthwhile.

Babies, Babies, Babies!!! There are so many words that describe a baby. They are cute, adorable, cuddly and oh so precious. Those are the first words that come to my mind when I think of those cute little bundles of joys!

For me, the year 2009 was a year booked for weddings to attend. Many of my friends were getting married; the help with preparations and decision making were a lot of fun.

This year is different than the previous. Many of those friends who got married previously are expecting a baby this year! So far this year I had three baby showers during the spring time, I still have another two baby showers left during the summer to attend, and who knows if there will be any more announced sometime soon, the year is not over yet.

As the time approaches closer to a baby shower, I try to think of something different and unique to give as a gift. I am a very sentimental individual and I like to give something that the child may keep for a longer time.

I would think of clothing, but a child usually receives many clothing and eventually will grow out of them.

I think of toys, the child will play with these toys and eventually stop playing after sometime.

So I came up with an idea of giving a child a poem. I wouldn’t give the child just a poem by itself; I would get it engraved in a keepsake.

If it’s a girl, I would go to the engraving store and engrave this poem into either a wooden or silver plated jewellery box. This little girl can use this jewellery box for when she gets older as well.

If it’s a boy, I would get it engraved into a nice silver plated picture frame. In this picture frame the parent can add a picture of the little boy.

I think its great keep sake the child may have for years to come.  I received many compliments from other mothers who think it is a wonderful idea to add a poem as part of a gift. It is both different and unique at the same time.

As I am trying to finish writing up this blog, I am already thinking of putting my next gift together. The only problem is, my friend neither Amy nor her husband wants to find out the sex of their baby, they want it to be a surprise. Amy’s baby shower is only three weeks away, I have to think of an idea for a gift that can be given to either sex of the baby, but I must add a poem in there as well. Hmmmm……What will it be? stay tuned for my next blog as I will let you know what I finally came up with.
