Roark isn't so little anymore...he is pretty much outgrown everything. He will soon be wearing Erik's clothes.
He is so much more interactive these days. Watching everything and making comments here and there. It is so wonderful to hear him make his noises.
Then when he smiles...warms my heart.
I've never experienced joy like this and I savor every moment. Just last night when I was holding him while he slept I took a mental snapshot of everything...the dark room, the warmth of him on my chest, the weight of his head on my arm, the feel of his skin, Annie's Song playing in the background (yes, he still falls asleep to John Denver and an occasional other artist)...
It is times like last night I realize that being angry, mad, frustrated with the world and being pissed off at the jackass at the grocery store who rammed his cart into mine, and holding those grudges isn't worth it. The weight that one carries with such anger really can distract from the beauty of life...
Life is as simple as finding happiness in a bouncy swing. It is a shame we don't have those for adults (unless you consider bungee jumping and equivalent which I would argue with based on the recent events of the woman falling into the crocodile infested waters...)Bungee.
