First Smiles

Today, Mason smiled at me. A real, “I’m having fun, Mommy” smile. He actually smiled at me 5 or 6 times, and each time I giggled and cooed at him, so he did it again. I was giving him a bath in his baby tub, and after I soaped him up and scrubbed between all his chubby fat folds, I rinsed him off and filled the tub up with clean, warm water. Oh how he LOVED it! Maybe he loved feeling so light, or maybe he loved the warmth of the water, but whatever it was, Mason was having a ball! He watched me pour water on his tummy and cooed at me. Then, he smiled such a cute, dimpled smile…I melted. When we first had Tyler, I didn’t think that I could love anyone else so completely, but here I am, loving my new son just as much!
