Ok I know I did not write daily. Yes I was being lazy. But I have good excuses. After I go to my home from work. I am with my son until he goes to sleep. And the time I am spending with him is really intense in both emotion and physical activities.

Since the first blog I wrote, He learned much. First he is standing up on his own by holding onto our hands/shoulders. Second he started play with his toy cars (hotwheels, matchbox) more gentle. He puts his index and middle fingers on top of the car and drive them. He really started to mimic me :).

And lastly he likes to shake hands. Whenever I lift my hands in front of him in a shaking position, He looks at me and understands it. He lift his hand (And he knows which hand to lift :) ) to shake my hand and he smiles while doing it.

This is it for now. I will make a pause here to continue later. Bye

The first one

So hello to anyone who somehow stumbled upon this account. I have created this account for a couple of reasons:

I need to improve my writing skills.

To put an end to forgetting some words and improve my vocabulary.

Simply make a diary for events with my family (as of now, me, my wife and my 7 1/2-month-old son).

For now, I have decided to write every day. But time will show. So no promises there.

So.. Today I was home at an average arrival time. My son was, as always, really excited when he saw me. And that really makes me happy and also sad. Because I can't spend more time with him in a week day due to my job. And I need to mention that in the first six months of my time with my son, I was unemployed. And I was at home on 7/24. Therefore, I believe I have a stronger connection with my son than I would have if I were employed at that time. Thus I miss him much more during the day.

My plan was to play with him in the living room with his toys, but he spotted his little "balance bike" on the way. And he loooves his bike. That gives me only one option for playing. I believe you figured out that option :). So I took him for a ride on his bike. The thing is that the bike's height is like 50 cm, and my height is 180 cm. Either I will bend down or crouch (a duckwalk). The first one is dangerous for my back, and the other is really tiring. When I stop for a minute to catch my breath, he makes grunting voices, and if I don't continue, he goes mad and starts yelling and crying. I try to reason with him, but… well, he is 7 and 1/2 months old. Then I brace for the fatigue and continue until I cannot. I am trying to distract him so that he can relax and forget the bike. I am not sure that he forgets, but this is the way (yes, I watched The Mandalorian ;) ).

Sorry, but I am too tired to continue writing. It is too late. Apologies in advance for the grammar or other mistakes. Take good care of yourself.
