Ronan is amazing me on a daily basis now. He can suck on his toes. Found his thumb. Makes new consonant noises. Gets big belly laughs. Can raise his chest off the floor. Loves to meet new people. Cries in sympathy when other kids cry. Can do a 360 on the floor. Is thisclose to rolling over on his own. Can briefly sit up without support. Can pick up his pacifier and put it in his mouth. I can hardly remember the teeny, helpless little baby I brought home from the hospital. This is what everyone meant when they said they grow so fast. Sometimes, when I'm talking to him, it's like he can understand me. I can read a book to him and he is interested.

I never knew it would be so cool to be a mom.
