The Little Things....

There are so many moments in my day where I just want to sit and watch what my little boy does. Some of my favorite things about having him around:
1. The way he smiles as he is falling asleep, warm and bundled up with his mommy, he looks at me as his eyes drift closed and smiles. And it is a beautiful smile.
2. When he wakes up from a nap and he stretches his arms above his head but his little butt is still curved like he was sitting and he grunts little grunts as he stretches.
3. When we take him out of his swaddle in the mornings he stretches both arms over his head in a triumphant "freedom" stretch.
4. After getting up with him all night, his 5:30 am cry I nudge Ty and ask him to go get him. I listen to Toby cry as Ty changes his diaper and here they come through the door, his little head tucked into Tyler's neck as Toby is still whimpering, his little diaper is all he is wearing. He lays down next to me to eat and as he drifts back to sleep I love to just lay there and look at my little boy.
5. Watching him laugh at Griff, and watch Griff where ever he goes... but more so watching Griff play with Toby.
6. The way his little lip tucks into his mouth and his eyebrows furrow before he gets all pissed off because he is hungry.
7. Watching Toby sit on his daddy's lap, and I swear he is the happiest most content little boy I have ever seen.
8. One time we put him in the bath and he started to pee right afterward. We grabbed the towel and started to pull him out and the look that he gave Tyler we he lifted Toby out of the bath is one of those looks I would have killed to catch it on camera. He proceeded to give us his "pissed off" cry until we got the bath water switched out and put him back in the tub.
9. The way he lays in bed with us in the morning and giggles at every little thing or stares off all around him with a look of wonder and amazement at what he is seeing like he is seeing it for the first time.
10. The way he looks into my eyes while I talked to him and when he talks back. It is true genuine love.
