- waking up in the morning and hearing Aiden talking and playing in his crib down the hall
- Aiden's gigantic blue eyes and long eyelashes
- getting Aiden dressed in his cute clothes. I'd say nowadays that boys are just as fun to dress as girls. Of course, I've never had a girl..haha
- Aiden's little button nose. I kiss on it all the time :)
- that Aiden sometimes smirks when we kiss him. He knows he's loved!
- the sound of Aiden's adorable little sneeze. I love baby sneezes :)
- that Aiden will sometimes just stare and stare at me until he gets my attention
- picking out Aiden's little boogies. It's seriously so satisfying and I think to myself that I'm helping Aiden to breathe better. I also love picking out his ear wax. Is that totally disgusting?!
- Aiden's little thunder thighs, delicious cheeks, and chubby little hands. I gnaw on his chubbiness all the time ;)
Just look at him! Seriously love his little hand in this picture
- going on walks with Trent and Aiden and listening to Aiden just talking away in his stroller until he undoubtedly falls asleep :)
- hearing the rustle of Aiden's diaper when he moves around. TOO cute! I often pat his little bum just to hear it :)
- that Aiden's personality is really starting to come through
- that when Aiden's sitting or lying between both Trent and I, he'll continually look back and forth between us. He loves when we're both next to him :)
- when Aiden smiles so big that his eyes become nearly nonexistant
- when Aiden laughs out of the blue and totally surprises us
- how curious Aiden has become and how he grabs everything to look at it
- that Aiden doesn't complain when I have to put him in the backseat of the hot car. I always feel terrible, and it's going to get so much worse :(
- taking Aiden outside everyday to greet Daddy when he gets home from work
All in all, I LOVE being a stay-at-home mom and I'm so grateful that Trent works for our little family and allows me to do so. I just ADORE my two boys and thank the Lord every day for them.
What a beautiful list! I wish I could see the list your two boys would write about you. I love the way both Trent and Aiden look at you (like they love you more than life!) and I am so grateful for the wonderful wife and mother you are. I love you!

I second Tanis! I especially love, love, love that you and Aiden greet Trent when he gets home from work each day. SO precious. I bet Trent really appreciates that and loves it! Can't wait for a future family :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first comment. Listening to a content baby is so nice. Aiden is certainly feeling loved and secure with 2 adoring parents that are so good with him!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me cry...So cute :) I can't wait for the day when I get to have my own incredible husband and adorable child. You are such a caring, loving mom :) Such an example to me! Love you
