I get to spend precious time cuddling my boy at least every 2 hours as I nurse him. These moments, as exhausting as it can be in the middle of the night, are so precious to me as his dependency on me for his necessities in life continues.
I cherish watching Drew leap up to take care of all Everett's other needs. He comes up with melodies and noises to distract Everett while changing his diaper or clothes. He is the proudest and most previous Dad I have ever seen. I am honored to have a front row seat to watch the man I love become the father he has always longed to be.
I love watching Everett's face as he finishes a full meal, he smacks his lips with absolute delight. In these moments we get to see his smile emerge quickly followed by a frown with his burrowed eyebrows. He makes the funniest grunting noises when he's tired but trying to do something. His favorite place to be is in our arms. He can already lift his head up which was alarming to me at first. He has unbelievable strength in his arms and legs as he uses them to push away from things he doesn't want. Our first official outing was to Target and Everett was incredible although his parents were a nervous wreck. He has attended his first "non-party" where he slept contently through the entire thing!
We have had moments of meltdowns and joy but the greatest things in life are never without hard work. Neither of us knew a love this strong could be so real and at nights as I lay listening to my husband and son sleep my heart feels as though it could burst from the love I have been given!
