A big moment in the life of a baby (and of a mom, too!) . . . I think that Maia has just started to reach up to me when she's lying down in her crib! I'm not certain, but just now when I put her to bed, she was reaching straight up with one arm and straining her legs over towards the side of the crib at which I was standing. Then, I left the room for a moment, came back in, and she did the same thing again.
These little things, tiny little things, make my eyes well up with tears of awe and joy at this experience. Someone told me once that becoming a parent was like the end of Dr. Seuss's Grinch story . . . it feels like your heart grows three sizes bigger than it was before.
I'm a cheezeball. Sigh.
