things i love about my son

• the way he smiles so huge when i make that one noise...
• the way he grips my finger with his hand
• the way he can't keep his eyes off of sonia when she is in the room
• the way he smells after a bath
• the way his eyes roll back into his head when he's eating
• the way he grabs my neck when we go down the stairs because he's scared
• the way he relaxes when i sing beatles songs to him when he's going to sleep
• those big ol' cheeks
• when he cries in the middle of the night
