Everyday I watch Nat and realize he is no longer a baby. Some days I find this very sad, and then I remember 1) there is another baby coming and 2) He is so darn cute as his personality emerges. Its all worth the changes.
Anyway today, he has had a cold all week (it could be teething) and we don't like to take risks with as many older people as we have at church, so A and I took turns and stayed home with him. While I had him this after noon he was running around the house getting a little silly and having a great time when I decided to ask him if I could have a HUG. To my utter amazement he finished his circuit, came right up to me and gave me a HUG! I wasn't sure he'd even realize what I was asking for and he isn't a very affectionate child most of the time, but it just melted my heart. That is when I love that he is growing up and can respond and do things because he knows what it is, not because mom did it first.
I love being a mom it is awesome, especially to my little man who just brightens every day.
