Every Day is Wonderful... well optimistically

My little man will be 6 months old before I know it... that's 1/2 a year! Holy Crap!! There are so many little things that are so precious so far:
When he was just born he would stretch his little body and crane his neck til he got comfortable.
He contorts his body in every possible way to be able to get his feet in his mouth.
He giggles when he sees himself in the mirror during his bath time.
In the mornings when I say "we're at billie's" he gets the biggest smile.
He wants my phone every time I'm on it... tries chewing on it.
He can play for long periods of time on his own but then he has this sound that he makes when he wants to make sure that I'm still in the room with him.
When it's nap time cuddling with my lil man on the couch is my favorite place to be.

On the days where I am so exhausted and burnt out and I just want to close my eyes and pretend I have 5 minutes of peace and quite I open my eyes and see the smile and curiosity in my little mans face and realize that I only get one shot at this thing called parenthood. That there are things that I could do/or not do for that matter, that could affect him for the rest of his life and I have to remember that he is my life now, and no matter how much I think I "need" some me time... Toby truly NEEDS me.
