Babies Are Special People


This is a friend's son at about six weeks old, he's almost five months now.

Babies are so small and tiny and dependent. They are really very special people.

This morning while I was at the doctor's for a check-up the baby was in the middle of some kind of workout while his or her heartbeat was being monitored.

The baby seems to sense when things are not going right in Mama and Daddy's world as well. My husband has been going through some trying times lately and my heart aches for him. The baby has picked up on this and enjoys entertaining us with all kinds of movement and hiccups when things get particularly stressful.

And when I seem to get a little too involved in something, there is always a big stretch or kick to remind me of where my priorities need to be.

While babies need their parents, I've come to discover we need them too. A lot.
