He’s now too big for
the car seat newborn insert
this caught me off guard
*
He’s newly social
pausing mid-meal to lean back
flirting, grin and coo
*
In his evening bliss
his eyes roll back in his head
totally relaxed
*
He finally found
his thumb, making our naptime
routine much smoother
*
I had to let him cry
for thirty minutes alone
while I quit my job
*
I just realized
I can no longer recall
the way labor felt
