He sure is the joy of our lives in every way!
There are so many sweet and funny things I forgot about having a newborn...
The way they flap and flail and posture when you lay them down,
I'm Superbaby!
the sweet gulping and cooing and happy sounds they make while nursing,
the way they collect lint between their fingers and toes and under their neck,
how LOUDLY they can emit gases from their tiny bodies,
how they can sense that you've just sat down for a meal,
the way they can go from perfectly happy to starving to death in an instant,
the way their first smiles make you completely forget that you just spent the previous six weeks getting zero sleep,
the way they open their mouth and just move their head back and forth, waiting for something to appear,
how between six and eight weeks they suddenly get acne and cradle cap and lose their hair in patches and just generally look kinda funny for a while,
how tightly they can grab things with their little fists,
how you get total amnesia about everything that was unpleasant about trying to conceive, pregnancy, bed rest, labor, and delivery the moment you lay eyes on them,
how you can't help but wonder - how did I ever deserve him? how can I possibly be so blessed?
