Pete is a happy boy. His smile can light up my day. Usually after a good feeding and a full belly I can get some smiles and laughs out of him. I treasure the quiet moments after nursing where we just sit and talk, sing, tickle, bounce around and hang out together. He will start cooing and I know the smiles and giggles are coming. Here are a couple picture of the smiles/laughs I caught this morning. He had just nursed and I am sitting in a chair facing him eating my own breakfast.
Soon after breakfast he feel asleep in my arms. He loves to be swaddled and walked around. It can put him to sleep right away if he is tired. It took a few weeks to figure out how to comfort him but now I know what he likes and it feels so good when I can quickly calm his cries and make him happy and comfortable. Here is my silly boy this morning laughing in his sleep. As he starts to drift off his lips curl up in a sweet smile then he snickers a little bit. It makes me laugh out loud. I watch his face intently as he starts to fall asleep waiting for the smile and laugh that I love so much. Today I was prepared, I had my camera on him, focused and ready to shoot his adorable little laugh. It was hard and both my arms are tired from trying to get a picture but it was worth it.
I love this little boy so much. How do you ever explain the love you feel for your child? You can't. It is overflowing. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it and writing about it. I live to see him, hold him, take care of him, meet his needs and see him smile. I never want him to be sad or lonely or hurt. I had no idea how amazing this would feel. It is indescribable. He is such a sweet boy, my son. I am exhausted. Completely exhausted. But I am so full of love.
