Last Friday was Enzo's four month birthday. He is living beautifully. I miss him when I am at work so my loving wife sends picture/text messages to my phone on most days and they make me smile. Here is an example of a picture/text message Tami sent me Monday:
1st time n shorts... so friggin cute! BTW- his shirt has a pic of a lobster and says "u crack me up". Clever & cute. Wat a combo!
How can you not smile when you see that kid and read that message? Lately I have really been enjoying my time in the morning with Enzo. I've been waking up and lying in bed for an extra half hour or so watching, playing, and talking with my kid. He is adorable. He is beautiful. I can not get enough. He wakes up and likes to just relax in bed for a bit. Today we chatted while he looked at the ceiling, smiled at me, tasted the blanket, and enjoyed the morning. Enzo was practicing and playing with making sounds a lot this morning. That was fun to listen to. When he got on a roll I would stop talking so as not to interrupt. It's fun to interact with this beautiful child as he discovers the world and it is also intriguing to simply observe. But then he'll turn to me, smile, lay his hand on my chest or face and I melt inside while expanding on the outside; I become simultaneously bigger and smaller. It's fantastic and peaceful at the same time. Each morning he surprises me with a new version of a radiant smile. I carry these with me all day and I am a happy and fortunate person.
