Today was such a blast!
This morning when Eli got up, he says to me, "are you getting up or staying down?" I was totally sleepy, and said "staying down." But Martyn wouldn't let me stay down for too long, which is good. We got up around 7am.
I pretty much just hung out with the baby. Every chance I got today, I just played with him, or talked to him until he got tired and needed a nap. It was great! I love that communication we have. I think it's funny too, when he's in the bassinet, if he wakes up and wants to call me before he starts really crying, he will chirp. It's kind of cute, but really amazing that he already seems to understand how that works. If I don't respond to his chirping within a minute or two, then he'll start making more noise, and crying eventually. But the chirping he'll do and wait a few seconds, then do it again.
Babies are so incredible.
Martyn was very chatty today. He just wanted to tell me all about it too. While I was making dinner, I sat him on the floor in the dining room, with the boppy and his blanket and another pillow so he could sit up and watch me in the kitchen, and so I could have both hands free. I turned on some music and went o work. He was totally content to watch and listen to me the whole time. I think he's developing a taste for music too because on some songs, he totally "sang" along...which was super cute. He was really experimenting with different sounds and baby noises, and flailing his little arms and kicking his feet.
When I had everything going for dinner and was done with the cooking part, I picked him up and danced him around the kitchen and sang along with the music that was playing and he got very quiet and observant. He's such a smart boy!
We were sitting in the recliner quietly, for a few minutes before Eli got home and when he came in and came over to us, Martyn totally got all excited and started talking to Eli like crazy....he must have just been really happy to see his daddy and that was heart melting for both of us.
After dinner, I passed the boy over to Eli and took the dog for a walk...she stayed on the leash the whole time, and we had a great walk. Nice and brisk, but relaxing at the same time. When we got home, Eli was sitting in the recliner, with Martyn passed out in his lap. Very precious....much better than the other day when we got home from a walk to find Martyn screaming and the dog being a bad girl and running off into the neighbors yard, ha!
I nursed Martyn when he woke up a little while after and then was holding him in my lap...he was standing up and I wasn't paying attention and he totally spit up all over me....and when I looked at him, he gave me the biggest cheese face....I said to him while I was reaching for the spit cloth, "that's not funny son...." and he almost laughed. That little stinker!
Days like today make me feel like everything is gonna be ok. Not that it isn't already, but I just feel good about being a mom, and a wife. I feel like I did what I was supposed to do, and I enjoyed doing it. I was thinking about how much I enjoy interacting with my boy now, while he's small....I'm SO looking forward to when he's bigger and can hold an understandable conversation, and wrestle (with me and with Eli) and just cuddle up. I love watching his development right now though...he is just amazing to me.
I'm so glad to be his mama!
