Hoor-ay For To-day

When it rains it pours! Max rolled over for the first time today! Up until the last few days - this little guy has had absolutely NO interest in getting off of his back. Who would though? His life has been catered to...no need to do anything but be cute. But, as it turns out, he wants more. This morning he was on the bed while I was getting ready and I noticed him over on his side...grunting...trying his hardest to get over. I laid a blanket out on the floor for him and within a few minutes he was on his tummy giggling. Even as little as he is - he knows that today something big has happened. Now I can't stop him from rolling over. Every time he's on the floor he's flipping himself around! I called Steve this morning to let him know - he was super thrilled. He was out and about in South Beach with his new friends. Lucky.
Lucky. I guess there is no such thing as luck - but I am sure lucky that I get to stay at home with my baby boy. I can't imagine if I had missed his first time rolling over...or his first giggle...or his first anything! I love the opportunity I have to stay home and raise him. A lot of people might say that being a SAHM is easy, lazy, or a useless thing to be. I disagree and anyone who has stayed at home to raise their babies would agree with me. No one in this world will take as good of care of him as Steve and I and no one will appreciate the things he does like we do. I have just embarked on the hardest job that I will ever have. Raising a child or children who are well adjusted, happy, that smile, that know that they are loved above all else by their parents is not an easy - or unimportant job. I have always known that this would be my purpose in life. I am thankful that I am able to do it and that I have the most supportive husband in the world who also realizes that this is the best thing for our family. Staying at home not only allows me to raise Max, have fun with him, give him opportunties that he otherwise wouldn't have - it allows me to be a good wife. People laugh - but I LOVE to clean the house, I LOVE to cook dinner, I LOVE to be available for Steve and the things that he needs. This is the greatest career I could ever ask for - one to make a beautiful and happy home.
