Spring has Sprung~

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! Lala how the life goes on...The Beatles

My little infant is growing into a boy before my very eyes. Everyone warned that the time goes very fast and to enjoy every moment, I happily took the advice to heart and truly relish in all of the moments, but never could I have ever realized how fast they grow up. It is so bitter sweet, of course I want my child to grow and progress, but with each step forward is one more step away from the the precious infant that once was...
I was recently laid off (mid Jan.) and what felt like such a hard, painful blow at the time, has come to one of the biggest blessings in my life. Spending every waking moment with Michael Henry is sheer joy! Being greeted every morning with his huge smile (with two bottom teeth and all) is completely sublime!
Michael is approaching 8 months old, and more delicious than ever! YUMMY! YUMMY!
He laughs hysterically when we say things (in that high pitch voice) such as..."DVD", "Vienna Sausage", "Your an awesome baby"...odd and random I know, but when something we say puts him into a fit of laughter, we stick with it.
He is now so curious about the world around him, and delights is hearing his own high pitched squeal and seeing his own reflection in the mirror. His is incredibly social. We take him anywhere and everywhere and he just loves it. He sits up on his own and plays with all of his toys ("his guys") for long stretches of time...he never gets bored, and that is great, because in my opinion only boring people get bored. His sleeping habits are perfect, he loves his crib and is always more than happy to get to bed after his productive days, he also loves his cat naps (sometime only for 20 minutes or so, but enough to rejuvenate). We are yet to come across a food he dislikes.
In the coming months, we look forward to visiting Nonny and Poppy in Fl., Seeing Great-Bubby for her 85th Birthday, visiting Gram and Grandpa in Maryland (for Easter), our vacation in the Bahamas in May...and many, many more exiting adventures!
