Baby Days

Hello Again!  I once again find myself sitting in front of the computer with a sleeping baby on my lap.

  These days... I know I will miss them greatly when they are over.   And although I sometimes am frustrated to find myself bursting with ideas, with seemingly little ability to follow through on them, I also feel that this - just sitting with Griffin - is one of the most magical things I've ever done. 

 Today he is dreaming almost non-stop.  All day when he has fallen asleep, he has been a flurry of activity - eyes twitching beneath lids, lips moving, fingers stroking.  It looks like he has inherited his Mom's proclivity for Dreaming Big Dreams.  Although he may have gotten some of that from his Dad, also.  Jai said to me the other day, 'I don't care what Griffin turns out to be, or what he is interested in, if he's a genius or an athlete, I just hope that, whatever else, he is creative, and he has a sense of imagination.'  And I thought, 'it's no wonder that I love this man so much.'

Our sleep experiment is going well.  I think Griffin mostly enjoys having his own giant bed, and he is starting to learn how to put himself back to sleep, which is very exciting for me.  I could have done a giant happy dance the first time he went right back to sleep after our three a.m. feeding - except that it might have woken up the baby.
