There is nothing like watching a new momma navigate motherhood. Ok. Watching a new baby is pretty special too, but I LOVE new mommas. I love all mommas, but new momma's are just something else.
It's like watching a young'n play. You know what I'm talking about... when they are finally interacting with the things around them. Every sound is fascinating to them. Every new texture or smell. The simplest of things are awe-inspiring and each new discovery requires their undivided attention.
New moms are kind of like that. They delight in every new sound their baby makes. They stare at each little feature in complete awe and amazement. They can spend hours munching on little baby toes and kissing little baby noses. Every little thing is deserving of an 'ooh' or an 'awwh'.
New moms are charmingly overprotective and lovingly hesitant with their babes. They are often uncertain, but quickly learn how to comfortably hold their newborn and how to calm them. It doesn't even matter if they have had a lot of experience with other people's children because this is their baby. They are the momma instead of being the auntie or friend. The momma. And there is something special about momma's.
Another thing I love is how they marvel at the perfection of their child. They are deliriously happy and cannot believe that they could take part in creating such a perfect little being. They radiate joy and pride even when they are more exhausted than they could ever imagine.
It's really something wonderful.
