I love...

*rocking with my son while he's drinking his bottle and looking deep into his dark brown eyes.

*the way his little legs are crossed at his ankles when we're rocking. It's adorable!

*listening to him crack himself up over something and start giggling with his contagious laugh.

*that he loves to be held by Ben and me. All the time. I try to remember this is a *good* thing for attachment, and have learned to do dishes, vacuum, cook, and eat one-handed. It's amazing how quickly you can adapt when you need to!

*watching him learn new things every day. He waves hi and bye-bye, and is signing "all done" and "more." It's so fun to communicate with him!

*that he has grown from an intense fear of the water to loving bath time and swimming with Daddy.

*that when he's not feeling good, I'm the one who gets to console him, rather than a nurse halfway around the world.

*how his little face lights up and he screams with glee whenever Daddy gets home.

*watching my husband transform into an amazing Daddy before my eyes.

*being a mom!
