Favorite moment...



Baby Joey is here! I need to do a full blog on his arrival and all but in the mean time I have some moments to record. I don't want to let my perfectionistic ways stop me from recording these moments even though it means they will all horribly be out of order -as in coming before the birth story and blog announcing Joey's arrival.

So here is my favorite moment from today... well despite my semi-comatose state I have many favorite moments from today but here is one I wanted to record and share. Baby Joey has these long alert phases and what he wants to do the most during these times is hang out with the family and listen and watch. It's amazing. I'm in the other room with him where it is quiet, maybe talking to him some or holding him, and he gets fussy. We wander into the bathroom where Jack and daddy are having a rowdy loud bath time and Joey perks right up and focuses in on everything going on. At dinner he's not content sitting in his vibrating seat with his paci, but he wants to sit in daddy's arms propped up so he can hear and see (as much as the little guy can) what's going on. He knows all these sounds from the past several months.... he already loves the sound of his big brother playing loud and being silly. He loves when daddy talks to him and tells him sarcastic little anecdotes. He arrives and his part in the family has already been carved out in his little heart.
