Do You Believe In Magic?

Posted at 2:58 pm on Friday, July 20, 2007

AJ is 8 months old today. And I’ve known him personally for 4 weeks today. He’s definitely the most awesome baby I’ve ever met.

Three Things That Amaze Me:
1. That on very little sleep, he’s still smiling and happy and full of energy. I am the opposite.
2. My voice seems to sooth him. He loves when I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
3. He’s mine! How lucky am I?

Three Things I Love About Him:
1. When he giggles and smiles in his sleep.
2. How he screeches when he’s tickled.
3. When he holds on to me, or rests his head on my shoulder.

Three Things I Hate To Love About Him:
1. Even when he’s 90% asleep, as soon as his back hits the crib, his face lights up in the best smile ever. Its frustrating if you think he was totally asleep, but so cute you cant help but smile back. Even at 4am.
2. His Hulk Face. He raises his fists, clenches his teeth and turns his face red. It usually indicates that he’s frustrated or overwhelmed. I feel bad for thinking its so darn cute.
3. Every day is different. Just when I think I’ve got him, he does something new.

Hi-
I’m Mim, Cristin’s sister. A while back I clicked on your blog from my sister’s links and have since become hooked. As sporadic as your posts have understandably been I check back daily to see if there are any AJ updates. Even if there aren’t any blog updates I enjoy the giggle that inadvertently escapes my lips when I see new pictures of AJ posted on your Flickr site. I think it is wonderful that you’ve opened your heart and home to such a wonderful little boy and I look forward to future updates. I hope you get back on a semi regular sleep schedule soon! Good Luck!

You seriously do a mean rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle
