Fills My Heart

So in case it wasn't already clear I feel I need to say it, my favourite thing in the whole world is when my little man holds onto me.  I was waiting for the moment he'd start ever since I first laid eyes on him and I'm so happy that in this past week it's now a regular thing. 

Our little man is so fun to watch.  I can sit for hours as he reaches for toys, turns them around and then places them back down.  He's still a determined little man.  He is able to sit up from a reclined position and it's entertaining watching him as he works so hard to get up.  He tries, and falls back, then tries again...and this can happen a couple times before he finally makes it but he's so happy when he does and he flashes a big smile.  I cheer for him, I mean...he's just a baby right.  That's still an accomplishment.  Actually I know adults who have a hard time with this.

My monkey still thinks I'm pretty funny.  This evening we had a thing between the two of us.  We'd just look at each other and both start laughing so hard.  I think Daddy thinks we're crazy.  Declan's laugh is so strong.  The sound, it fills my heart.  We're so lucky that this is the nut we get to spend our time with.  I hope he's always got reasons to laugh.
