I Love...

Honchito (my made up spanish for little boss) has been in our lives for 100 days today and in honor of the occasion I came up with 50 things I love about him!

I love...

1-10. His tiny fingers, toes, his big blue eyes, looong eyelashes, semi-bald head, big belly, his hand size booty (seriously, fits right in my hand!), perfect skin, sweet smell, BIG smiles

11.  How tightly he grips my shirt

12.  When he pulls my hair

13.  When he smiles so hard his eyes crinkle shut

14.  His almost laugh

15.  When he chuckles in his sleep

16.  Kissing his cheeks

17.  How much he loves reading “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”

18.  Snuggling with him

19.  That he slept in our arms almost exclusively the first 6 weeks

20.  When he looks like Louis

21.  When he looks like me

22.  That I made him (!)

23.  That God gave the perfect gift to us at the perfect time

24.  That he has discovered he can control his hands

25.  Reading to him in his rocker

26.  How tiny his socks are (and some still aren’t tiny enough)

27.  That his eyes follow me when I walk away

28.  How strong he is

29.  When he really cries- like the “waaaaa”- so cute!

30.  His pouty face (one of the things he got from me)

31.  How much he loves baths

32.  Dressing him up like a little man

33.  Skin to skin time

34.  How he smiles at Sadie dog

35.  When his tummy is full & his whole body goes limp

36.  When he's upset but calms down the second we snuggle him

37.  When he kicks & waves his arms with a look of intense concentration

38.  When he rests his hands on his tummy

39.  When he stares at something & you can just see the gears working in his head

40.  When he looks at something & smiles like it’s the coolest thing he's ever seen

41.  That he is such an easy going guy!

42.  That even when I feel cabin feverish, I know that I am doing what God made me for & I delight in that

43.  When he is startled & his hands fly up like a wizard or orchestra conductor

44.  That Sadie's barking doesn't faze him because he heard her barking for months before he was born 

45.  What he has brought out in Louis

46.  That despite my diabetes he is perfect, not too small at all!

47.  And because of my diabetes I got to meet him 13 days early! (assuming he came on my due date)

48.  Dreaming about his future

49.  That (God willing!) he is the first of several children we will have & I can't wait to have more

50.  That he is mine!
