Siiiiixxx months, sniff sniff

Scooty scoot scoot. Magnus is moving, wiggling, scooting a bit... Already! I am not sure how as he is soooo very heavy that Mama struggles to hold him above my head and tickle his belly with my nose but, sigh, Magnus the great is living up to his namesake and surpassing all my expectations... I love baby - the smell, the feel, the delight that oozes from every pore - it just gets me... And I am only comfortable holding and gushing over my own babes and have never been a baby holder so THIS.IS.IT. for me... SIGH. Maybe grandchildren will bring it all full circle in the coming years. Yes, I can hold on to that for 25 more years...

I am so grateful for this half year of bliss. For the love Magnus gets from the big kids. For his sweet, kind heart and radiance he gives to us all. They all just give so much when you stop to see. Little AnaSofia furiously working at Easter gifts for us all, giving us Anniversary gifts yesterday (9 years babe!) and making these paper, beeswax, nature creations that are filled with LOVE. And Kasper bakes every home day with me, anything and everything - such a helpful little fella. I love them all. I love that they stayed home Monday and Tuesday this week just because they wanted to be home. HOME. And that when I had the flu Tuesday afternoon, they cared for me, hugged me and felt such sympathy... I love this little unit and it changes and grows each day and I am trying to stretch and grow with it too. Letting the time pass but holding onto the moment as much as I can...

  YES, that is a TOOTH! Hold on Mama!
