Joseph is growing quickly before our eyes.  He can entertain himself for longer periods of time, which makes Mommy’s life easier!  Yesterday morning he discovered his hand.  He stared fascinated at it and when I put a rattle in his hand he held it for a good while “accidentally” shaking it and gazing at it all the while.

He also holds his gaze on people much longer.  My favorite time is when we stare at each other and he smiles and giggles and looks so delighted just to be a live and looking at Mommy!

Wednesday I had a three hour rehearsal for a gig and he did amazingly well.  He is entertained a little my music playing, but toward the end he just wanted attention.  I’m finally feeling like I might be able to play the gig this month without too much stress.

I’m grateful that with all the pain behind me and with adjusting to sleep deprivation I’m finally feeling like I can bond with my baby.  The first month was sadly more like just getting through it because I had to.  I had no energy for that overwhelming love everyone talks about.  It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy Joseph and to see that he loves me despite me not being able to be too attentive in the first month.  Babies are strong!

There are new pictures up.
