Isn't baby fat beautiful? I was feeding Walt yesterday and looked down at those fat little legs and was just amazed at how much he's grown! In others ways, too, I can tell that our little baby is growing up. He can find his fingers to suck on more often than not now. He's slept more than five straight hours two out of the past three nights (yippee!). And the best thing is that I think I just got a real smile from him!
I feel as though I'm growing up as a mommy too. I'm getting much braver about taking him out by myself. In the past week he's been to a Boys & Girls Club board meeting, out to lunch with a friend and her 10-week old little girl (his first date?), out shopping with another friend yesterday, and to my prayer group last night. He's been very good during all of his outings.
As exciting as it is to watch Walt grow, it also makes me a little sad because, for one thing, it means my maternity leave is almost half over, but mainly because I know he'll never be this little again. These really are such precious days and I thank the Lord for them everyday!
And thank you so much for sharing some of these precious moments with us. When Walt was 1 month old, we were talking how it seems so much longer ago since Walt was born. How long can a month last and last and last when you can't wait for the next.(in our case of course). In three weeks we will start the packing, ironing and cleaning the house, and then............ We will finally get to hold Walt!!! four weeks and two days from today.
ReplyDeleteUntil then we will be glued to the boys websites, thank you Ginger and Josh for this wonderful way of sharing your little wonder with us!!!
Love
Harriet
