just spent the last 2 hours surfing through facebook.
i needed a little respite from my tired brain.
it's neat to see how well folks are doing.
gives me lots of hope in things.

i left work early for a dental appointment
which also meant that I got to spend more time
with the little one since I got home earlier than usual.

he's growing so fast! just 3 weeks ago he learned how
to crawl.
and now he has mastered pulling himself up to standing
position
and one time...he even cruised a little.
can this kid be any more amazing?

and when I look into those eyes...
they make me melt, truly.
it's just the best thing in the world.

tonight the SO and I watched the little one
as he slept.
after I gave him my usual goodnight kiss,
i put my ear to his chest
to have a listen.
i like to do that sometimes
since I am often in awe that this little
bright light exists in my life
that i have to hear his heartbeat
as my way of "pinching myself" that this is a reality.

and as I listened, I remembered the times
at my doctors appointments when we listened
to his heartbeat through my belly.
how quickly time flies, I thought.
I was left in awe yet again
that the little heartbeat inside of me
is now huggable
and whose smile infects you with nothing but pure joy and love.
