Happy Halloween!

..."For I am ‘King of the Jungle’,
I am a mighty lion.
I am the one who rules the roost,
so don’t even bother trying..."

And then he saw a flock of birds...

I read an article recently in a parenting magazine  that said that "often" the wonder and excitement of a new baby wears off when the baby is about 9 months old. Yikes. That would be horrible considering you would have to put up with that child for at least the next 18 years! Lucky for me that statement isn't true at our house. I actually feel better about him now then I did at the beginning (though I was always excited about him!) maybe because I am getting a little bit of sleep now (sometimes as much as 6 hours in a row!) and maybe because my body doesn't hurt anymore...

Anyway, I have moments when I look at my little son and am amazed that he is mine, that he grew "in my belly" and that our adventures are really just starting. He is getting more and more curious about EVERYTHING and notices everything from flocks of birds in the sky to tiny specks on the floor (and naturally has to taste them...), its so refreshing to think about the world through his bright eyes. He doesn't know all the mean, harsh, ugly things about the world yet (and hopefully won't have to know abut them for a long time). He smiles at everyone, doesn't care what people look like, dress like or smell like; he just likes them. He also likes Eskimo kisses, Baby Cat, Daddy, the humming bird wind chime and his Mimi's glasses... I could write about him all night, haha! THE POINT IS: he is amazing and I love him more then a little.
