His Smile...

       I've never been good at sharing how I really feel. But these last two days being alone with my precious son has made me think about all the ways I never thought I'd feel. I wake up to the sound of my son talking, and him giggling when I walk in a pick him up. I'm always amazed at how much love I feel for this little son of mine. All the days listening to him cry, never knowing if I could ever help him get back to being my happy little boy. All of that could happen over and over again as long as I get one hour of smiles from my precious little boy. Eric has this bright light in him, and every time he looks at me, talks to me, smiles at me, I get to see that gorgeous light shine. Each moment I spend just enjoying him I feel like I could walk a thousand miles and not have a care in the world.

       I feel like I've been blessed beyond all measure, because I GET to be the mom to this precious amazing boy. He means more to me than I ever could've imagined.

        I never knew my life would change so much just because of a little boys smile...

Life in the Long world...

       Well Eric is being a normal baby and getting into everything he can get his hand on. And he still believes in putting everything in his mouth. Which is fun sometimes and other times not so much. He's also starting to pull himself up on things. Which also means that the real baby proofing is starting... Matt and I spent the morning  running errands trying to get everything we could think of to baby proof our home. So far, the gate we got doesn't fit (it's too small) and the wall mounting has started. Thankfully right now, my little angel is passed out in his crib so I can take a second to let all of your know what he's doing and hopefully make our house a safer place for him to do his crazy stuff again.

And just for fun, here's some pictures of darling Angel!!!
