Things to Remember

As I watched my baby boy the other day, I realized that there are so many things I don't want to forget about him at this stage. Every time I look at him I am filled with so much love. 

He is now seven months old, and has two bottom teeth.

I never want to forget the way he tugs at my shirt, grabs onto my sleeve, and rubs his face all over my chest area when he sits beside me on the bench at church. He's so goofy.

I never want to forget the way his arms vibrate as he holds them out to the side whenever food is in sight.

His tongue always cracks me up. He's always licking his lips, rubbing his tongue on his bottom teeth or sticking it out.

I love how easy he is to put to sleep at night, and I extra love cuddling him. I enjoy when he snuggles into my arms. After a minute he turns his head to the side, closes his eyes, lets out a deep breath and nestles his nose into me and then becomes super heavy when he zonks out.

I never want to forget the way he shakes his head side to side like a crazy, with a huge grin on his face.

I adore how quickly he has picked up on humor. He will sometimes pretend to nibble on my shoulder to make me laugh. The other day in the car he was turning his head side to side like a crazy to make Camilla laugh, and then he would crack up laughing.

I never want to forget the sweet way he rubs his face into his blanket when he's tired. He has always been a fan of his blankies. He is such a snuggle bug.

He loves to be carried and can frequently be found propped on my hip with my arm around him. When he is here, he is happy and content. He will grab my hair and hold on tight, sometimes turning to snuggle his head on my shoulder for a quick rest.  Nothing is better than a baby willfully melting themselves into you.

I love watching him zone out when I wash his face in the bathroom after dinner. As soon as I start wiping the crusties from his nose, his eyes become super tired and he stares off into space while I finish cleaning him up. So hilarious!

I love his adorable little nose wrinkle. I get it when he flashes me those energetic baby blues along with his giant smile.  It pretty much melts my heart.
