Little Guy's Smile

For those of you who have checked out the video Chad posted on the website about the little guy's smile, I have to say a few things about it. First of all, yes, I know my laugh sounds like a witch. Apparently I do that when I get excited without even realizing it. My son must already know how silly I am because every time I intentionally laugh the "witch laugh," he smiles and laughs too. We couldn't resist putting that video up on the web, as we both have enjoyed it several times already and wanted to share it. Next thing about that video is this. I am beginning to see me in the little guy now. When he was first born, I thought he was going to be all Chad, but I'm beginning to think that there just may be some of my looks in him too! Others have also commented about it just this past week...a lot of people see my brother's looks in him too. Yay! My brother's cute, so I'm okay with that! :)

I am still really enjoying my time home with him. I don't have to go back to teaching until May 2, which I feel so blessed about! I can't imagine leaving this little guy already! Even though he's already almost two months old, he tugs on my heart strings every day! His smiles, pouting lip, and cute noises all tell me that he's more aware of Chad and I every day. He especially likes to snuggle with me...something that I will hold onto as I know he won't want to in a few years. I'll take it while I can.

He is beginning to sleep more at night now, which is definitely a welcomed change. The past two nights he has slept for six hours! The first night his extended night's sleep occurred, I woke Chad up right away as I thought maybe he wasn't breathing...but he was...and is...let's hope he continues to sleep for such long stretches at night. His mommy and daddy sure appreciate it! Speaking of which...I should probably go to bed as he just fell asleep. Gotta get in my sleep when I can.

Goodnight!
