I swore I'd never be one of those mom's whose life completely revolves around the baby, and they can't talk or think about anything else. But, I'm finding myself being sucked into that. Last night, LB woke up hungry, so I went in to feed him. He obviously wasn't that upset about it, because he started falling asleep as soon as the bottle hit his lips. But he was sucking away, so I just let him sleep and eat.
No big deal, until a few minutes into the feeding. Something made him open his green eyes and glance at me with this complete look of innocence. He was still in the middle of a REM cycle, because he went right back to sleep, but I could have sworn if my heart had a voice, it would have sung. It was just so adorable, like he was just checking to make sure I was still there.
After all the fighting yesterday (he's learned how to wriggle just enough that I can't put diapers on him properly), it was just a very sweet moment that almost let me forget about the other stuff. He's sleeping right now, and I'm tempted to go in and steal another sleepy innocent look, but I'm too smart to wake up a sleeping baby!

Oh, how sweet! Those are the moments you live for, definitely! I have been known to sneak into Sarah's room to watch her sleep, only to hit the deck Mission-Impossible style when she starts to move around. :-)
