A few of my favorite things from the last few days?
Max likes to wake me up in the morning (because he's sleeping next to me) by tapping my chest and putting his face THISCLOSE to mine, and then his little voice says "Hi!". And when I open my eyes, he's right there breathing his little baby breath on me, grinning from ear to ear.
I've been counting down to any transition during the day by telling him "Two minutes" and holding up two fingers, and then "One minute". Of course he has no concept of two being more than one at this point, but I figured it would be a good habit to start. Except now when I say "Max, in one minute we're going to put our jammies on" he says "TWO!!"
I wiggled my nose at him today, and he cracked up laughing. And then put his fingers on his nose and wiggled it. And then when that didn't work, he just shook his head back and forth to make it wiggle.
Amazing, my boy.
So don't ever think for even a second that I am not absolutely in heaven about being this gorgeous, brilliant child's mother. And a wife to this guy...who's pretty wonderful too....

Thankful for the blessings of family. For this woman in particular, whose mothering built the house of love that keeps my own little family warm and safe. I am so thankful for her, my Momma, and for her laughter, good sense, and friendship. She anchors us, and I am so grateful for every visit we share.
