From the puck to the world.

heres the deal.

i enjoyed maternity leave. i truly did. i enjoyed being home with just my son, spending time and bonding. i smiled and agreed when people said isn't it amazing how much he has changed since he was born. and i guess i saw it. or maybe i didn't. after all, i saw him every day so the change was gradual. and while i loved it. in truth, it hasn't been until recently that i have really enjoyed it.

because we are now in the curiosity, and development stage. he now rolls over, he now looks at you and instead of wondering you know he is looking at you and actually sees you. he smiles at you. he cries for you. its all so magical.

and last night..

so there we were in the middle of target, in the entertainment aisle. we were in between the kiddie movies and the start of the book section. we were deciding whether we should buy classic movies now or wait. i looked at logan and said. 'it just means more stuff to pack.' in my best little kid voice. and he looked back at me and...

laughed

he actually laughed. and this is the first time he has done so. i stood in there, amongst the shoppers, my husband and the workers repeating the sentence over and over while logan just laughed and laughed. it was the greatest sound in the world....i didnt care if i looked absolutely absurd. i wanted to turn to anyone and everyone and tell them...but then i knew i wasn't the only who's child laughed for the first time. and while they may have smiled and said great. they wouldn't have cared.

so i just looked at andy and smiled..jumping up in down in pure giddiness. thinking that this stage thus far. is by far my favorite.
