Newborn

Today I babysat a newborn for a good friend of mine. As I sit and watched him laugh and smile and endure the hugs and kisses from my boys (he has 3 older siblings my kids ages so he was a champ!) I was so happy. I loved to see this precious little baby! And not one ounce of me was sad that I will not have any more newborns. I asked my aunt Stephanie once if she was sad as her youngest daughter was growing out of stages, and she said no, it was the opposite. I can see what she meant. As Colby screamed with envy as I kissed this cute little boy, I just laughed. He is a jealous little bug, a new revelation to me. Tristan's mom came and picked him up, I cleaned up the rest of my house, made lunch, and I go on with my day, while my baby sleeps at his regularly scheduled time! Soooooooo nice!!! Cael was ADORABLE with him!!! He shook a little rattle for him when he cried, danced in front of his car seat for several minutes, talked baby talk to him in a high squeaky voice and then looked to me like he was so proud of himself. Then Colby started to show off for him too. Fun to see Colby coming into his cute little personality and copying EVERYTHING he sees. Fun times...when the baby belongs to someone else. Been there...done that...and done with that!
