Anson is babbling all of the time now - to me, his daddy, to his toys, the fish, whatever and whoever will listen. Sometimes it's a squeal, other times it's a gentle coo. It is always heart meltingly sweet.

I can't wait for him to start saying mama and dada. I imagine the first time he says mama will be mid-cry. Dada will probably some one day when Mark comes home from work. I think this because when Mark walks through the door I almost always bring Anson to him saying - dada's home! Yay! He gets so excited. Him crying mama, I think that because when he wakes from his nap and starts to whine I always say mamas coming - mamas here. So those are my guesses.

Real talking seems so far off, but then again it seems he was a little newborn just yesterday - so I bet it will get here before I know it.....Then he will be off to college....oh the thought of him growing old makes me sad in a way. I love my little baby boy.

Super Daddy Weekend

Super Daddy Weekend

Anytime my husband gets a three day weekend - like this weekend - we call it a super daddy weekend. I love having him around. He is such a great husband and father. I feel very lucky. I hear about husbands and wives fighting constantly, husbands not appreciating what their wives do from day to day. Wives being too demanding, not "trying" after the wedding bells. Our relationship is truly a give and take. We communicate so well. I hate being around women who are bitching about their partners - when they all look to me to start with my bitching - I have nothing to say.

He is also a good dad. He changes Ansons diapers, plays with him (currently trying to help him to learn how to roll over) and he loves to snuggle Anson. He doesn't see Anson as some burden, as other Dads might do. And I knew even before we chose to have a baby that he would be a great, caring Dad.

Today we went grocery shopping. It was super cold so Mark dropped Anson and I off in front of the store. When we were done he had us wait inside for him to put the groceries in the car and he picked us up right in front of the store. I didn't have to ask for this - he just did it.

I just feel so lucky.
