It occurred to me that a lot of my posts have been about the tough stuff, and not as much about the fun parts of being a mom. I guess it’s just that when I am motivated to write a blog post, it’s with the issues I’m struggling with; I don’t really feed the urge to blog about the daily good things that are happening.
So here’s a post about that instead!
Jack is such a smiler. There are so many smiles every day, all day. He’s also giggled a few times, which is a joy to hear. He loves to take walks; pop him in the Bjorn and go out the door and he’s happy as a clam. He still loves to see other people. He’s easy to take places and is interested in looking at everything.
He likes to look at books; we do a lot of reading every day. He just learned to roll from his back to his front and looks so pleased with himself when he holds his head up high on his tummy. He is starting to notice the cats and reaches out to touch Jemba when he’s near. (Max doesn’t come too close!) Sometimes he does “crunches” when sitting on our laps, lifting his head forward. He loves to be sung to; when I sing him a song before nap time it always makes him smile.
Not a day goes by that I don’t look at him and think how lucky we are to have him.
