Little Giggles

We went to pick up our Little Man from his Nana and Papa's house after work and just loved the soft smile he gave us when he turned around to see who had walked in.  I love that he is happy to see us!  When we got home, I changed him before putting him down for a nap and before I could get his diaper on, he started to roll over.  I was being silly with him, telling him that he was being a goose for trying to get away and he laughed.  I got him giggling by tickling him and blowing on his belly.  What I think is the cutest (and he's been doing it for a few weeks now) is tensing up, putting his hand up and giggling before my hand reaches his tummy for tickling; just the anticipation of what's coming is cause enough for laughter!


I cherish every smile that he gives out and every giggle that rises up from his belly, which, thankfully, is very frequently.  It's fun to watch him get excited and smile over something as little as seeing one of the dogs or the cat (which, by the way, wants absolutely nothing to do with him).  I love when he gives his "hugs," leaning his head toward you to touch foreheads (sometimes ending up as a little series of headbutts!).  He's learning to give "kisses," mouth wide open and very wet, but precious, nonetheless.  Watching him start to copy our actions is so fun.  He now is starting to lean toward and reach up for us and it is so awesome to be needed by him by choice!


I love our happy, affectionate little boy.  What a blessing he is!  The time spent with him is priceless whether we're being silly and laughing or he's sitting quietly in my lap, holding on to my necklace, feeling the charm with his little fingers, just trying to figure it out.
