it’s turning into a slow dance

i think to him, it’s just me feeding him and rocking him to sleep when he cries. but for me, it’s turning into a dance. a nightly slow dance with my perfect, warm, compact little round-cheeked son before he gets too old to dance with me anymore.

my best moment yesterday was making Hunter laugh. I think it was the first time I did, and his laugh was so cute- it’s like a hearty old man chuckle. At first, he was whiny and almost crying, so I propped him up and started saying over and over, “whaddaya wanna do?” in a baby voice while nuzzling his neck and belly, and that’s what made him start laughing. lol.
