Moments
Life with Chloe is a series of moments. I cherish these moments -- the first time she discovered she could rotate her wrist, the first time she blew a raspberry, the time she realized that baby in the mirror was her. She is becoming more and more interested in her world, and is making connections between everything. You can almost see her little mind working.
Sometimes I peak around the corner and watch her when she doesn't know I am there. I suspect I will always do that.
The other night, I peaked. Martin was playing his guitar. Chloe was watching him with wonder. She filled in the pauses of his music with music of her own. LA LA LA LA LA. DA DA DA DA DA. She couldn't take his eyes off of him. She was pumping her arms and "singing" along.
It was a defining moment. I stood there watching the two most important people in my life, and realized just how lucky I am.
