A Different Perspective

I've been in a funk lately and can't figure out why. It's one of the reasons why I've really enjoyed running again. It helps straighten out my head. Everything seems manageable after I go running or just workout at the gym for that matter.

One night last week I was really in the funk. It wasn't necessarily anything in particular that had me down, it was just......I don't know. The kids needed baths and I wasn't in the mood to do it. Howie desperately needed a bath so I decided to tackle him.

I switched his baby bath to have him sitting up, rather than laying down. It wasn't long after having him in the bath that my mood was quickly starting to change. How could it not, when I was so close to this sweet baby.

(I can't figure out why he won't smile as soon as the camera come out. This always smiley baby goes poker face on me once he sees the camera.) He was splashing around and having a grand ole time in what he thought was his new bath. A new way to be seeing things sitting up versus laying on your back. I guess perspective truly is everything.

When bath time was over, I kept the camera with me and snapped a few more picture of my baby who seems to be growing and be bigger every time I look at him. I feel like he is a set of magic beans, like "Jack and the Bean Stalk". His babyhood seems to be slipping by so quickly. Much more quickly than either Owen or Caroline. I'm already finding myself missing him from just a couple of months ago. I am really enjoying this babyhood and and soaking up every living minute of this guy.
