Success!!

T rolled over yesterday for the first time from his tummy to his back. I didn't even have to push him (I swear I didn't even give him a little nudge). T hates tummy time so I am hoping he will continue to roll over so I don't have to torture him anymore. Rolling over is the first of many physical accomplishments he will reach this year. It marks his beginning from floppy newborn to real baby. T will be 4 months old in a week which seems crazy to me. It has been both the longest 4 months and the shortest.
T has been an amazing addition to our family and life seems much more complete with him in it. It seems that over the last 4 months my heart has grown to a place that I didn't know existed. When T was first placed on my chest in the delivery room it was an overwhelming feeling. I felt fear, excitement, exhaustion, and wonder but I didn't even know T at that point. I loved T from that minute my but my love has increased ten fold from that time. For the first month or so it still felt like T was connected to me by some invisible umbilical cord. I had grown him inside of my body and now I was growing him outside. As he has become a more independent person I started to fall in love with his unique personality (and T is unique). Every day he shows me a little more of the person he will become which is great although I have a feeling he is going to be one opinionated little person. Being a mother to T is both the most rewarding and the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. When T wouldn't stop crying and I would find myself getting angry it was a scary and out of control feeling but when T stops what he is doing because he hears my voice and he looks at me and smiles my heart melts.
(need I say more!)
I can't wait to see the little person that T becomes over the next few months but he will always be my baby!
