My favorite age

I think there is something about every age that is so fun. Christopher and Michael are in a fun age where they are more independent. They can get their own snacks, Christopher can make his own sandwiches and Michael tells the best best time stories. Annie is in that fun, and sometimes challenging, 2 year old time when she is becoming very imaginative and will either laugh, or cry, about everything. :) But if I had to pick a "favorite" age it would be the age Jacob is in right now, 3-5 months. He isn't mobile yet and so I can sit and hold and snuggle and squish him as much as I want, and he loves it!! But, unlike a newborn, he is responsive and will smile and coo (but not talk back) and give you all the assurance you need that being a mother really is the best job in the world!!

I totally relate! I naturally love all my children, but it really is validating to have a 3-5 month old. I love how, almost anytime Leila is fussy, as soon as I pick her up she's as happy as can be. That really is some great validation!
