What a busy weekend. Chip left for Houston on Friday to spend time with his family. While he was gone Cassandra and Gene drove all the way from Alabama to see Preston. We spent all day on the floor with Preston laughing and playing. This was Cassandra's second time to see Preston and Gene's first. It was such a great visit and we can't wait until we can all get together again!

Saturday night I took a late flight to Houston to join Chip and the rest of the gang. Preston got to have a two night sleep over with Janie, Sari, and Pappy. We had a great time in Houston but we were so excited to get back to Dallas and pick up Preston. We got back in town around 1:30 and we spent the rest of the day playing and loving on our Bambino. When Preston's bedtime rolled around we decided we would let him stay up a little later so we could get some good cuddle time in. We laid in bed and watch The Pajanimals for about an hour. Then I took him in his room and we rocked, and rocked, and rocked some more. Preston falls asleep on his own every night and so we haven't rocked in a while, but let me tell you that this rocking session was exactly what I needed. As I was holding him it brought me back to when he was an infant. When we would rock for hours and hours and how much he loved it. As we were rocking tonight his face was resting on my chest, his legs curled up in my arms, one little hand holding my thumb, and his other rubbing some lose strands of my hair... Total heart melting moment for me. Every couple of minutes he would lift his head up and look at me with those gorgeous dark brown eyes and ridiculously long eye lashes. He would just stare at me, and I could feel him telling me that he needed this rocking session as much as I did.

I realized in those 45 short minutes that I would not change my life for anything or anyone else's. I have the most incredible, smart, beautiful, and happy baby boy who adores me. As a new mom I sometimes find myself questioning, and at times doubting, my ability to be the best mom possible. I sometimes wonder and ask myself, do I have what it takes? Do I have the ability to raise this little angel the way God wants His precious angels raised, and tonight that answer was perfectly clear. I absolutely 100% have what it takes. I look at Preston and there is no doubt in my mind that I am doing something right.
