The Joys of Parenthood

We love James so much, it is such a joy to be parents! He is starting to respond a lot more by smiling really big at us and "talking" to us, it is so much fun! We know he loves us anyway, but it really is nice to have him stop crying and smile at you when you come in the room, because he is so happy to see you! The other day he was crying, and while usually that means he's hungry and feeding him calms him down, he was content to just sit on my lap and cuddle. What a cute guy! It's times like those that make the OTHER times worth it - like when he spits up ALL over you (as in, all down your shirt, inside and out, and all the way down your skirt and dripping onto the floor!) or when he wakes you up every hour or two in the night because he's hitting a growth spurt and is always hungry!

Me and my baby. I am just so happy to be a Mom! I love it!

This kid is gonna steal all the girls' hearts when he's older...
