These are the best picture I could find of his "sunken eyebrows and melting into the sponge."---You'll read about these things:)The older my tay-bug grows, the more I love him and melt. I am enjoying our little family melting together as we make changes and learn new trials. Today I think I finally moved over my "working hump." Motherhood doesn't exactly give you the daily reward of a job-well-done as working does, however, rarely does working place imprints on your heart. There are times when I helped someone accomplish a goal, learn a new skill or strategy, and that was rewarding and I still remember their face. Thoughts crossed my mind that there wasn't a better feeling. WRONG. Never did I think I would BEAM over a baby hanging over my shoulder. So I have finally faced the thought I have been TRYING to learn.... motherhood is a lifelong reward that someday will reap success.
Thing that make me melt:
A baby who wakes in the night, I'm convinced, just so he can hold his mommy for a while.
A baby snuggled in the moon of my tummy, with a daddy holding us both.
Greeting a smile when instantly noticed in a room.
Eyes following me while I leave the room with a brow of disappointment.
Sleeping eyes on my chest in the bathtub.
A sigh of exhaustion, with a head draping backwards. (closeline)
One eye peeking, just to make sure I am STILL holding him.
Sunken eyebrows with hands folded beneath the chin. I AM THINKING.
Grunting for business:)
Suck-sucking of a binky, moaning, to concentrate sleepy time, or filling an empty tummy.
Coo's in the morning, evening, and afternoon.
The sweet "lick-licking" of a baby who has found his mommy's shoulder.
Tiny hands discovering puppy dogs, and fishies. BAT.BAT.BAT
Drifting eyes while singing lullaby's
Listening ears to goldie-locks and the three bears.
A steady heartbeat.
Soft snoring and giggles from puppy-dog dreams.
Flailing arms approaching displeasure or excitement.
Sinking into the sponge to get deeper into the water. Sunken Eyebrows.
Smiles. Giggles. Joy.
I love you Tay bug and your daddy too:)
