David had his 6-week birthday on Tuesday. His smiles are still hard to catch on camera: you can see I didn't frame this well, as I was trying to look not through the viewfinder, but at him, so he'd smile! To offset his lovely smiles, he has been more fussy of late, though he conks out for a long nap if I turn on the static of the radio -- works well, except then we're stuck in a house with loud static noise (right now, the radio is 2 feet from my computer!).
I asked Taylor what he likes best about parenting David. I wondered if he would mention how he loves to laugh and laugh at some of David's funny grimaces or reactions (or our antics, like trying Taylor's glasses on David!).
But Taylor's real answer was both a surprise and the most natural thing. "It's just wonderful to love someone unconditionally," he said. Yes, I agree! It's amazing how quickly and fully your heart opens. Taylor also mentioned that he hardly ever thinks about the fact that David is not of our own blood. He's of our heart!

I don't fully understand slide.com, or why this slideshow is shown in the format it is. Does anyone know of a free slideshow program that lets you set the time for each slide and format/presentation of slides? These slides are much more fun seen quickly, more like he's really moving!

Lisa-
David is ADORABLE! His little smile must just melt your heart. I love what you wrote about Taylor's parenting comment. I agree. There is something so pure and beautiful about holding a little baby in our arms and just loving it unconditionally. I've often wondered about where that loves comes from. What a blessing to be able to love. I'm sorry David has been a little more fussy lately. Maybe he's trying to master the smiling skill and it's frustrating him.
lisa,

-much love, michelle
