It seems like just a few weeks ago he was a tiny newborn swaddled in his bassinet. In the middle of the night I would peer over the edge to watch him sleep in the dim light...
Now he is a babbling babe who loves to read stretched out on the floor with Mom, or curled up cozy in bed with Dad. He loves to peer his head around the book, waiting for you to turn the page, to see if he remembers what's next. He has favorite books and will pick them out of a pile and when you hold them up he squeals in delight. He says Da and Ma, although we can't decide if he completely knows what they mean yet...He loves to laugh when Dad holds him up like a cob of corn and nibble on his ribs, or when Mom turns into the tickle monster and slowly jumps towards him with hands ready. He loves to smile at any stranger who will smile back, and has made friends with all the ladies at the corner grocery store who will always take time to chat to him and tickle his toes. He loves to suck his thumb and snuggle in Moms arms. He loves to lay next to Dad's face and carefully examine his nose and eyebrows while quietly cooing. He loves to play on the piano, shake a rattle, bang on pots and pans, listen to music and dance while we sing. He LOVES playing with the cordless phone and giggles when we hold it up to our ear and say "hello?" He loves rolling around on the floor discovering toys, turning them over and over in his hands, holding them in every which way. He is mostly just a happy baby, and is constantly growing and changing and learning, always curious...
I am so thankful for my time with him everyday. It is such a joy to watch him discover everything for the first time. I will cherish every day with him try to hold onto these moments...
