As my baby is turning 14 months in a few days...and just growing leaps and bounds by the day, by the hour, by the Minute...it makes me sooo emotional (ohhh my poor husband!!). He is beginning to show little strides of independence and it just....makes me want to cry. I know the bigger picture of parenthood is raising your babies to one day push them gently out of the nest and watch them fly off to make their own life... and making plans to make them their favorite meals to fill their tummies when they come home and pamper them as best you can on their next visit. (ok...I know that is looking WAY into the future- but that is the ultimate goal, right?) The number one best thing that I've experience as a mom so far has been the absolute adoration on Henry's face, that faith that mama knows best and has the answers to everything, the total trust that mama will take care and make him feel safe, secure and comfortable.
Writing about Henry and mommyhood will probably be a large part of this blog. Kyle and I love being parents and we definitely make a great team and even eachother out well. I think the first few months are tough on dad's because the baby is attached to mom constantly, but now that Henry is in full blown toddlerworld, watching the dynamic between Kyle and Henry pulls at the heart strings and the bond they have is so sweet. I get so excited thinking about the future...about giving Henry brothers/sisters, endless activities to do, holiday traditions, trips to be taken, memories to be made. Nothing brings us more joy and we've really settled into our roles of mama and dada.
I stumbled upon this picture on pinterest, and thought it was too cute not to share. Ohhh the joys of parenthood! :)
