Bringing Home my Baby for the First Time

I remember the first time we brought Daniel home from the hospital. He was 4-days-old and would sleep all the time. Everybody was eager to see him and take pictures with him. In our case, we were overjoyed and couldn’t wait to cradle him in our arms. As a new mom, I was extremely excited to be with Daniel and was determined to do my best in taking care of his needs. Daniel’s first days at home was one of the most memorable ones.

Uh, because he’s our son? I almost rolled my eyes.

Video: Daniel Playing “Clap Clap Hands” with Mommy

Daniel loves it when Mommy and Daddy plays “clap clap hands” with him. For some reasons, he finds it funny when I hold and clap his hands for him. He’s such a joy and hearing him laugh is priceless. These days, he no longer wants me to clap his hands for him. Instead, he grabs both of my hands, claps them for me, and giggles in excitement.
