I don’t blame you. He is so beautiful. I love it when they sleep with their arms giving the “touchdown” sign. I have many pictures of my kids doing the same. Now, I want to take a nap!

He’s beautiful Christina. I have a photo of my son at around the same age, in the exact same pose except that my son has his hands behind his little head.
Sweet, beautiful boy.

That much love feels like so much, doesn’t it? It kind of hurts somehow…

Christina-
I just noticed your list of books to read in 2010. The first book on there (Alice Munro) was just reviewed by my website today! Here’s a link. I’m reading it now…. loving it.

It’s so hard not to want to nuzzle those cheeks and kiss those chubby pink lips when they’re so still, eh?
I try not to grieve their growth but, dammit, I can’t help myself. Ivy was running in her walker today and I was so choked up and laughing, I couldn’t operate the video camera. Then I felt like crying about that. This gig is rough on a girl.
