*giggle giggle*

Mr. Silas is now three months old! Where does the time go??! He is growing like a little weed:)

This month has been a fun one! He is finally mastered his smile and shows it often for us. Such a sweet little face. He is also learning how to giggle and it just makes me so happy. To see him react to us and express joy is so much fun! Just this week he started yelling.. at nothing in particular, just voicing his opinion at random times!LOL

Tummy time is enjoyed daily although he wiggles so much he's going to take off one of these days. We've also found a new love of cartoons. I never wanted to be one to park him in front of the tv but when it entertains him for a few minutes and I can take a break.. well I guess we'll sacrifice a few rules for Mom's sanity:)

Worth waiting for..

As every new mom knows, sometimes you don't always get things done when you want.. I meant to post this a week ago but.. well... life got in the way. :) I'm hijacking Si's blog for now..

So it is said that "The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." (Rajneesh, courtesy of the quote garden) I believed this but never truely understood until my tiny little bundle was finally placed in my arms. The woman that I once was is just a memory to me now, she seems almost a stranger. The longing I felt for a child of my own had now been fulfilled. What a miracle this little life is.

Finally the day came that I have been waiting for. A day that I would normally avoid anything public (or most things on tv for that matter!) and one that I would wish to pass by as quickly as possible. Mother's Day. I had waited for so long to finally be able to celebrate the day as "mommy". It may seem like such a silly thing, Mother's Day.. maybe just a Hallmark holiday to some.. but to me it was finally reaching the unattainable. The journey was long and sometimes heartbreaking. The wait is over now though. No matter what happens in this life I will forever be "Mommy".
