After snuggling on my adorable Boogity Bug for EXTRA long this morning, it was bath time.....we had to get Lish all scootied up to take a very important picture!
I wanted him to be EXTRA delicious for the camera today!
As usual, he didn't disappoint. Look at that smiley face! Our Weston Scott is 6 MONTHS OLD!!!!!!!! Yes, it has been half a year since this amazing little boy arrived and so profoundly impacted sooooooo many lives. Hard to believe that the time has flown by so quickly, yet also nearly impossible to remember what any of our lives were like before he got here. There is absolutely NOTHING that I could write that could explain the way I feel about Weston - it's something that I can't even wrap my OWN head around most of the time. Let's suffice it to say that every single fiber of my being loves every single fiber of his. Every little thing he does, no matter how tiny or how great is incredible to me. I adore him from his hair to his toes and every place in between. He owns my heart completely. When I'm not with him, I miss him. When I am with him, I cherish each second. I want nothing but the absolute best things in the world for this little boy. I know he will do great things. Most of all, and most dear to me, I know that he is literally cherished by so many people and for that he is so lucky. In honor of his 6 months on this earth, here are...My Six Favorite Things About Weston...
1. HIS SMILE - I've posted about it again and again. It just lights up the room. It twinkles in his eyes and curls in his toes! When that boy flashes you one of his gummy grins, you can't help but feel good all over. It's breathtaking.
2. HIS LOVE - Weston loves like no other baby I have ever seen. When he loves you, you know it - he leaves you no doubt. Weston REALLY looks at you, and his baby blues just shine with the love he feels. He REALLY hugs you - I'm talking throwing his chubby arms around your neck and SQUEEZING kind of hugs with his little face squished into your neck until you never, ever, EVER want him to stop. His kisses are delicious. He'll lean in and give you the slobberiest, juiciest, wettest most delectable smooches EVER! He cups faces - oh how I love that. My favorite time of all is when he lays on my chest, looks right at me and puts those chubby little hands of his on either side of my face and just stares at me. Sigh.............
And then there's his reaction when I walk into a room and he sees me or when Brian first drops him off in the morning and hands him to me or when he awakens from his nap and hears me come into his room - it melts me every single time the way he almost shakes from excitement and pure happiness just to see me!!! It's a feeling I never knew existed.
3. HIS SMELL - You know the one. The smell of baby - it's intoxicating. Someway, somehow, he manages to smell divine ALL THE TIME. It's like Weston just stores up this deliciousness in his neck that I simply have to sniff over and over and over again. His little strawberry blond "peacock feathers" smell like Baby Magic - a scent I adore. His tiny hands - I could eat them they smell so good. His piggy toes - stinkily yummy! That belly of his? Those chubby, chubby thighs????? ALL of him smells amazing. When he isn't here, I can smell him. I can literally conjure up his smell in my mind and it calms me. His blankets smell like him. I sniff them constantly. Call me obsessed, but all of you Moms out there know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Babies smell heavenly, pure and simple.
4. HIS LAUGH - It's awesome. Weston's laugh reminds me of his Daddy's. Both Brian and his "mini me" have this full belly laugh that is just infectious - no little giggles for those two - they all out crack up, and you just can't help but join them.
5. HE'S A SPONGE FOR OUR AFFECTION - There's no other way to really explain it other than to say that Weston literally soaks up the love surrounding him like a little sponge. From the very first breath he took up until now, he knows nothing but being treasured and he LETS us treasure him. I, for one, am never NOT hugging, kissing, and doting on this baby. It's like that is what Weston thinks is the way things simply are and should be. He doesn't even budge as I pour a million and one kisses into him each day or constantly whisper into his ear how much I adore him. You know how some babies stiffen up and don't really like to be held close? Not our Scooty Bug...he just molds right into you as close as he can possibly get and snuggles up for the long haul. That boy KNOWS how much he is loved and is so comfortable in his skin because of it. I wish that all children could be loved the way that our Scoots is loved. Our world would certainly be a better place.
6. HE HAS MADE MY BABY A MOMMY - This one floors me every day. My little girl is the Mommy of this amazing little boy. That is crazy - just really, really crazy. She's my little girl, my baby....and now she has a baby????? Wow. To see Bailey with Weston is a dream come true. You can just FEEL the love she has for him - it's the same as the love I feel for her and for my two boys. A mother's love surpasses all other kinds of love....................except, that is, the love of a
GRANNY!
Happy 6 months, my beautiful Weston. You are my treasure.
