He:
I:
– am not squealing over his cuteness every time I look at him anymore. It’s more like 75% of the time these days.
– am able to stick a pacifier in his mouth while driving and have nursed him in the backseat of the car in the Target parking lot several times. I feel like a Real Mom.
– adore the mornings after he eats at 6am. I unswaddle him and drape his little body over mine and we fall back asleep together for a few hours.
– cried watching this week’s episode of Project Runway when (spoiler alert!) the designers’ moms came to visit. Because, dude, they were so happy to see their moms. I am a mom. I hope Gabriel is that happy to see me when he’s older. Wait. That means he won’t always live with us. He’s going to grow up. MAKE IT STOP.
– am a parent and feel like a parent, but find it weird when I call myself a parent aloud. I asked Mike last night if it was weird to be married to a mom. :)
– love this, this (the book, too!), and any books by them. I am surprised by how much I want to read about parenting.
– feel like the best mom ever when I can get to him to stop crying and feel terrible when I can’t.
– take entirely too many photos of this little munchkin:
