I feel very lucky to have had my little guy. I think I’m more keenly aware of that blessing since I had a miscarriage after Vivien. I also love that I birthed a terrific straight man. For someone who loves comedy as much I do, this is pretty awesome.
(Btw, I am writing this with 3 generations of noise makers right behind me right before dinner. ”Yes, the leaf for the table is under Oliver’s bed….” “Rex went to the potty? Oh, yeah, he knew he was peeing in his diaper,” etc. Photo of it here)
Anyway, back to the video of the day. In all the bits and pieces of life, it’s easy to keep charging instead of savoring my baby.
Now, as for my inherent motor mouth and self involvement, that’s another story.
Yes. Perfect timing like that is definitely a gift.
Great post! I just had my second baby (a boy!) and I’m trying to treasure every moment with him. I think it’s easier this time around than it was with my first because I’m not as overwhelmed.
Plus, little boys are so cute!

Daphne! This is precious.. I was feeding Drewlbug his last bottle last night as he fell in a deep comatose sleep. When he sleeps he’s so beautiful. I try and capture it in a picture but the camera doesn’t see it like I do. During these moments, I pray really really really hard that he always feels loved, cherished, treasured.. that nothing bad ever happens to him and he never knows the taste of tears or disappointment.. And I just get a small glimpse as my heart fills up.. I get a small glimpse of God’s love for us.
You always seem like a good, tuned in mom. No matter how busy you are. I love seeing him with whatever toy you’ve assigned him as you film a CoolMom video. Such a hip mom you are!
I absolutely love that he’s playing with bright pink legos. That’s a future strong and confident man right there.
So darn true! Our kids will never see our best parenting. When they were little and completely dependent on us for their lives. TIS TRUE DAPHNE THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION.
(Sorry, as I described previously my daughters are now 13 and Mom is a Flake. Thankfully Son appreciates me.) Whoa, I sound bitter tonight!
I can safely vent here right?
Thinking tomorrow night I will pull out all of those videos we made when they were little and we were still considered Super Parents!! Heh. Or wait till one of them births one of their own.
You are right:
the memories are for us.
We can have the memories…
