He giggles. He smiles. He grabs his feet. He smiles at funny noises. He's mezmerized by the leaves of trees, his daddy's beard, and the butterflies that float above his crib. First thing in the morning, he takes a deep breath and lifts his feet to face the ceiling. He bounces himself by pumping his legs. He sometimes pulls away from my breast while nursing, looks up at me, coos, and goes back to eating. I get to hang out with him all week since it's spring break. (Papa stayed home with him last week during his break from school.) Today we walked to the grocery store and watered the garden, visited Miss Sadie and did some laundry; read for fun, made a good breakfast with garden kale, napped, but mostly just cuddled and played.
What a blessed life I lead.
I WANT TO HEAR HIM GIGGLE!! and see him grab his feet! we just need to have a live video feed streaming from you and him to me all the time. that's reasonable, right? :-p maybe not. but perhaps we can skype soon and he can do tricks for me. I'm so happy you get to spend a week playing with your boy :) I know he loves it as much as you do!
ReplyDeletep.s. I want a photo strip of those pictures--they're so great!
ReplyDelete...and soon it will be summer vacation and you'll have more days like these. I remember moments like these when you and Erin were babies. I treasured them just as much as you are treasuring yours.
