Love Grows Here

Happy as a Lark!

Today started out as usual, Matthew woke up with a smile that said “I love you Mommy, can I eat now?” So downstairs I go in my jammies to feed my adorable little boy. (taking the stairs gingerly trying not to take another tumble!) After he ate he took a little nap while I compiled a few new recipes to try out, made a grocery list, and waited for my little one to wake up so I could get him dressed for our weekly adventure to the market. So, Matthew finally wakes up at about 9:30 (much to my delight), so I get him out of his jammies, change his beyond soaked diaper, and picked out an adorable outfit for him to wear. I was not prepared for what happened next. I went to put his shirt on over his head, but no, IT DOESN’T FIT ANYMORE!! Just to make sure nothing shrunk in the wash, I pulled out a similar shirt, and low and behold, that didn’t fit either! I am digging thru all of his clean clothes now, something has GOT to fit!! I finally settled on a little onesie, that was a tad too tight. (but I still got it buttoned with Matthew barely tolerating all the changing!) On top of all of this…I found out that Matthew is a HAM! We finally made it to the market, Matthew fully awake and talking. Not just talking to make noise, mind you, but to get the attention of anyone within a 50 mile radius just so he can get some one to oggle over him. And it wasn’t that hard since there was nothing but cute little grandmas and grandpas shopping this morning. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun to have someone else think my son is super adorable! After we got home, I put Matthew in his swing while I made him a bottle, and he is still going at it, talking that is. I think God decided to bless me with a little talker, just like I was as a little girl. I can’t wait to see how he turns out! After both our lunches, I was trying to get Matthew to take a nap, but having no luck, so I put him in his swing, and turned on the TV. Then, out of nowhere, I hear him laughing, not just a little laugh, but the big ‘ol belly laugh. I look over to see what could possibly be making my son laugh so hard, only to find that he was watching me the whole time. I have no idea why I was so funny, but he was certianly getting a kick out of me sitting on the couch. And as soon as he knew he got my attention, he was laughing even harder. We spent the next hour laughing and playing together, it was so much fun! I can’t think of any better way to spend my afternoons. Oh ya, tomorrow we get to go clothes shopping! Can’t wait!!
