Lordy, Lordy, He's a Boy!

Jack is not a baby anymore. Over the last month he's really come out of his baby-ness and become a boy. Austin and Jack play together pretty well now and I can see it in Austin's face: excitement to have a playmate on-hand 24/7.

This blog is a little random at the moment. I just don't have it straight in my head what I want to write about. I just know that time is slipping by and things are changing and it's all going to be behind me before I realize it.

Poor kid. Jack always seems to have something going on. Right now we have diarrhea going on and this morning he seemed to have the early stages of a double eye infection. He's become very attached to going to bed with a bottle of milk at night and it's the first thing he expects in the morning. It's an odd (bad) habit we've started... I would have thought my breastfeeding would have prevented this from happening, but really it sort of replaced me. He's such a sweetheart. I can't wait to have more one-on-one time with him. He does this thing where he waves hello to people when we're out and about. The other day at the playground he was playing at a car wheel thing and he looked up to see where I was. He saw me and I smiled and waved at him. He waved back with a big smile and kept waving and waving and waving. Then he walked toward me with arms outstretched like he does. When he got to me, he kissed me and then immediately turned right around to walk back to his play equipment. Then he repeated it all again. It was his little game he was playing and I was part of it.

I want to feel that connected to him all the time. I am with Austin because it was just the two of us for so long. I am having to fight for it with Jack. And I will win, I promise.
