I love the physicality of motherhood. My baby is 6 months old and I love being a part of his sensory, bodily world. Rolling on the the floor with him, I stroke and pat his soft doughy belly, I snuggle and caress his warm little body, I kiss and nuzzle perfect soft cheeks. I love the way his body can be held and moved a thousand different ways. I am rewarded in my mothering with the kisses he bestows when I hold his drooly wet pink lips to my cheeks, his exuberant laughs and smiles, and his blissful purring contentment when you shovel a spoonful of baby food apricots into his mouth. I love my little boy!1. being mother
2. capturing a moment
3. baby boys

ReplyDeleteNOTHING makes me baby hundry. Nothing.

ReplyDeletehelp me smart mama...help me to be smart and learn to SPELL :)

ReplyDeletespell check is overrated-- as long as the thought is generally communicated - its all good- remember i used to be a teacher- I am totally down with invented spellling- LOL
I am loving the 6 month age. My little one sits up and plays with toys without falling over too often. Now I just have to rid the floor of the choking hazards (ie magazines, legos, and debris).
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at his long dark hair. Where did that come from? He's very cute. I'm sad I can't get closer and just squeeze him--he looks very squeezable.
ReplyDeletejamie- Its actually half brown (darkest ont he tips and growing in light blonde! Very ted koppel, donald trumpy

ReplyDeleteOff topic, for some reason your blog updates are not showing up in my bloglines. Very strange. I'm glad I thought to check your blog.
I love him too. He reminds me so much of baby Hayden. They have the same hair and sweet face. Sigh...I need a new baby! Who does he look like? I stare and stare and I just can't tell?
