Mondays with Mom: Episode 2

Wow. I have a lot to catch up on. Last week was crazy and then we left to go out of town for one of my best friends wedding. So here is what you can look forward too over the next couple days/week. 

Fathers Day

Ascher's 15 month

Unglued Notes

The Hameedi's Visit

Our visit to the zoo

Utah Trip

Until then though...here is a Monday with Mom. This is a poem she wrote for Hadley, my niece. Say a prayer for my mom if you will. She hasn't been feeling very well. 

Baby's First Gummy Smile

Smile for your mommy...
Smile for your daddy...
Good baby!

New parents enamored with their newborn
So enthralled with the new gift of life
that has been entrusted to them.
Kisses, assurances, soothing songs
All heard frequently those first few weeks.
Then reality sets in, and while the new parents
are still totally in love with their newbie...
they are exhausted.
And just as they question whether they can exist on a three hour sleep night again..
it happens...
       

 The smile..
God knew just when to send it
The most wonderful thing you've ever been a part of,
 that new baby giving you all that smile,
 that perfect, gummy smile that says...
Thanks mommy and daddy. And...
Stay tuned after this smile there's more to come...
Giggles,laughter,vocabulary.
I'll be entertaining you for now on...
And you're going to love it!!
