love you

YES, he finally said it to me! Cole has mastered repeating practically everything we say immediately after we say it except, of course, the one phrase he's heard from me about a kajillion times since he was born. Tonight, the three of us were lounging on the living room floor watching George when out of the blue, Cole runs over to hug me and said, "love you." He just made my day forever!

bye bye no more

Cole has a tendency to burst out short exclamations in his sleep which gets me to the baby monitor to make sure he's okay and able to get back to sleep. Tonight, he blurted out that he needed his boat back. Um, no boat in sight. Another outburst woke him up enough that he sat up and asked for more milk. Nope, no milk around either. Both times, I went into his room to tuck him back in. The third time I was there was to pick up the milk cup I gave him. I thought he was back in Dreamland until he said, " You go bye-bye no more, Mama. You lie down." Even when he's half asleep, he melts my heart. Yes, I am sleeping in his room tonight cause I can't resist listening to him breathe and getting wafts of baby Cole scent.

{this moment}


{this moment} A Friday-ish ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
