I Love it when...

• he first smiles at me in the morning and his whole body wiggles because he is so excited to see me.
• he kicks his legs up in the air when he's happy.
• he cuddles with me anytime I want.
• he holds onto my shirt while he's nursing.
• he stops sucking to look up at me and when we make eye contact he smiles and gets back to business.
• he sneezes and waits for me to say "Ooooo... God Bless You," and then he giggles.
• he coughs and waits for me to say "is that your bad cough?" and then he giggles.
• he stops whatever he is doing to find Ron in the room when he comes home from work.
• he sucks on his fingers and hands until his whole shirt is soaked and I have to change his clothes.
• he raises his eyebrows when someone new looks at him and he is surprised.
• people compliment how cute he is in the store.
• he smiles at anyone who talks to him.
• he cries and it sounds just like he is saying "ma....ma....." (I swear, this really happens)
• he listens so intently when Grammy tells him about "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
• he finds himself in the mirror.
• he is fussy and cuddles his blankies to calm himself down.
• he tries to reach out and grab his books when I read to him.
• he wiggles his whole body and talks to the TV when Teletubbies is on.
• he looks just like a little angel when he sleeps.
• he looks happy to see me every time he looks at me.

Most of all, I love it when I feel like I have the most important job in the world, which is to be his mommy. And I feel that way every day.
