Being a mom, we both agree, is awesome. In both the literal and the colloquial sense; we are often in awe that we even dared to attempt something so... crazy. And the smiles are awesome, and the laughs are awesome, and the new tricks - tongue clicks, babbling, beginning to actually crawl - are awesome.
Another new and cool trick: sitting up in the high chair. (Perhaps one day he will be as willing to do this during meals in restaurants as he is at home... as it is, mental note not to order anything that needs to be cut.)
I have to say, I love how he looks both so huge and so tiny at the same time. Even more, though, I love that he doesn't yet roll his eyes when I say things like that. And I definitely love the reminder to give thanks for all of the mothers in our lives - our own, our grandmothers, and our friends who have shared their experiences, their wisdom, their perspective, their wicked senses of humor. You know who you are (yes, you too!) and we love you all.
Happy Mothers' Day!
I hear that boys don't roll their eyes as much... but I don't know that first hand!
