Have I mentioned I love my kid? Koen is amazing me with new things on a daily basis. He spends most of his time on his belly (aside from the time in my arms) with head and chest up exploring all the new sights from this new vantage point. He can move himself around pretty well, wiggling and reaching for toys just out of his grasp. It's always a surprise to see what position he's launched himself into during his nap... time to start baby proofing. He has a lot to say and his face contorts with ultimate concentration on getting his "words" out. His squeals and laughter are contagious and we find that it's hard to have a bad day around the Moore household. We walked through the local Harvest Fest this weekend and Koen was fixated on all the new people, sounds, and objects. He's quite the attention-getter; people just love babies and what used to take us 15 minutes to check out all the vendors, now takes us three times as long because people want to know how old he is, what his name is, whether it's a boy or a girl (our favorite), and then we get to hear their story on their kid, grandbaby, God son, etc, etc. We actually enjoy it and we find that we have the extra time to socialize. It's our new-found patience and relaxed mentality... hmm, welcome to 30s and parenthood.
