I've noticed so many things happening in the last few days. It's absolutely amazing what a few days of sunshine bring. For example:
The buds on the trees are "hatching" into little green leaves.
I walk out the door at the house and smell the beautiful fragrance of hyacinths. My favorite spring flower-- next are the lilacs, which are budding wildly too.
Yesterday I attended a bridal shower and for the first time sat and tried to pay attention as I was now a "mommy" and not a mommy wannabe. It was a beautiful shower and was so thankful for the life I have as wife and mom. It's good to see people fall in love, stay in love, and do things the old fashioned way.
On the way home as dear Levi slept peacefully, the breeze in the sunroof of my car I smelled the delicious scent of fresh mowed grass. A true sign that summer is approaching. Seeing the splashes of color in people's flowerbeds made me smile.
I don't know, maybe it's strange that I notice these things at all. But I try every season to take it all in. I notice the changes in order to appreciate how quickly things change and pass by.
I'm excited to see the nice weather hang around.
Now on to the changes I've noticed in my little man. I love him sooo much. He will be six months old in a few days and has entered a new phase- interactive and Mr. Social. His smiles light up his whole face and I love that gummy, drooly grin.
He's started squealing and it's adorable. When he gets going he sounds like a little dolphin. A strange comparison but cute.
He loves pulling his feet up in his hands and rolling back and forth from side to side. I don't know if they(his feet) will make it to his mouth- his legs seem too long and his belly in the way. I can't talk much I know I couldn't even begin to attempt that move.
He is such a good eater. He hasn't found anything he doesn't like. As soon as he gets in his highchair, he knows what's next.... food. He looks longingly at his bottle while he eats his food.... soon I will have that.
I don't know what I did to deserve such a perfect little boy. I cried and tried so long for this darling and now he's here and I don't know what I'd done before. How I'd lived without him. He fills my entire heart everytime I look at him. I'm eternally grateful for him coming into our life.
AS much as I don't want to rush the time more than it's already going, I look forward to watching him feel the grass on his feet and sand between his toes. To see him chase waves someday on the beach. Come to the door for lunch covered in mud and a smile. Help Grandpa stack firewood and hammer nails. Because where I'm from there was always fun in the work we did. Oh the memories.
