I can't sleep and all I can think about his how I want to just wake my little man Mack up and hold him in my arms. I of course won't do that cause he is so peacefully sleeping but I am going to blog about it. I just love that little guy more than words can describe. Today we sat in the rocking chair for over two hours just gooing and ahhing at each other. His big blue eyes would stare into my mine and time stood still as we admired and smiled at each other. He is such a perfect baby. I am so glad that I am his mom. I thank my heavenly father for blessing Adam and I with such and sweet baby. His the greatest accomplishment I have ever done. I want him to always feel loved and secured and know that I am always going to be there for him.
I also came to the conclusion that i am not going to worry about reading all the baby books on how to raise and schedule him. I am his mom and I know what is best. If he gets hungry in the middle of the night and needs a snack then that is OK. He is only little once and who is some stranger that wrote a book going to tell me how to care and raise my child. I am confident that my motherly instincts knows what is best for my baby. I can tell just by the sound in his cry and noise what he wants or what he needs. I know what is best and I can do this. I am doing this and I and loving every moment of it. Each day he changes and grows so I have to soak it all in and cherish it.
Here are just a few of the moments that I love....
-When I feed him he wraps his arm around my side and open and closes his little hand against my skin. He loves to feel skin to skin.
-In the middle of the night I he will wake up and I can hear him smack, smack, suck, suck. When I check to see what he is doing he is admiring his hands sucking and smacking on them.
-Eating is such a serious thing for him and he is really good at it. Almost every time he sucks so fast that he starts to choke. He pops off for just a brief moment to breath and catch his breath and then it's right back to business.
-I look forward to how every morning he kicks, stretches and entertains himself in his bassinet until you get up and gaze over at him. The moment you make eye contact a huge grin comes across his face.
-I love how he is never embarrassed or bothered when he lets one ripe. I laugh every time I hear or feel the bomb go off.
-The cutest thing is to see him kick his legs like crazy in his bouncing chair to get the rattles and toys above his head to move. He has not realized that he can just reach up and grab them to get them to move.
-I love how he lets me try just about anything with him. I bought him a tummy time toy and he spins around on like a break dancer. I can tell it's not his favorite thing to do but he will humor for a few minutes on it.
-The latest fun thing is the Baby Bjorn. I love to snap him on in front and go about cleaning and putting things away and watch him swing his little arms and grab at things. I loved packing the laundry with him in front and having him think he was doing something amazing as he grabbed and admired all the colorful material in his reach.
-Also he is defiantly a music lover. He can be crying but once I put CMT (Country Music Television) on and he hears the beat he quickly stops and enjoys the tune.
-Oh and how can I forget how he loves to be bounced around in front of the television. It's his favorite way to watch Big Brother.
-Last but not least I love how he talks back to me. I will goo and then he will. I will laugh and then he will. We can play copy cat for about 10 minutes straight before he is ready for something new.
What can I say I just love him so, so, so much. Nothing can top how great he is in our lives.

You are going to be the best mother ever for him. HE is truly blessed to be in your and Adam's lives. I'm almost jealous of your experiences, almost ;)
You are so refreshing, thanks for sharing your thoughts and going with your motherly instincts!
