Cole has two speeds.... full throttle and sound asleep. Today we spent the morning outside washing the car and pulling up weeds in our unlandscaped yard. Cole is right there under foot to explore and watch everything we do. Running all over the garage, yelling VROOOMM as the motorcycle, pushing his radio flyer around, and playing with Cali's water bowl and toys. He loves throwing the ball to Cali. She normally catches it before it hits the ground, which he either finds it funny or gets frustrated. He got soaking wet playing with the hose. He was drinking from it thinking he was so big.
It was time for a nap, so I took off his wet clothes and changed his bum. I held his little body and rocked in the rocking chair in his dark room. We snuggled with his light-blue stripped swaddle blanket and one of his favorite stuffed animals, Peter Rabbit. His body was so still and seemed to be so comfortable close to me. The connection I feel when he is so close to me is like heaven on earth. I don't have words for it. His head smelled like a little sweaty boy playing outside all morning. His skin is so soft and sweet. His little legs crossed against my lap and his head rested close to my heart. Rocking back and forth brings such a calming sensation. I love my sweet baby boy.
