“Talk to me, Goose!”

Or should I say talk to me, Papoose!
Well, sort of…we started baby sign language! And it’s only day 2 but I love it! Levi obviously hasn’t started signing back yet but he’s very interested in what I’m doing with my hands. I was a little nervous not knowing how big of an undertaking it was going to be, but it’s the easiest thing! I just sign while I’m talking! And the things it can do for Levi, how could I not give it a try?! The author of the book I bought actually lives right here in San Diego and gives classes, so after our trip to TX I plan on enrolling Levi and I!
Speaking of my stinky boy, he has teeth! His 2 bottom teeth to be exact! I’m think he’s got a couple more on their way seeing how his mouth has been replaced with a faucet. He jibber-jabbers away all day and practices his beatboxing daily. Momma’s little rollie-pollie and trying hard to become a creepy crawler! He just can’t figure out how to get on his hands and knees at once 
He’s stable enough to sit up but I’m always close by because he still has a little cause of the weeble-wobbles. Every day he grows and every day I think to myself how blessed I am to be his mother. He teaches me so much about life, and myself, things I would have never known otherwise. It seems as if he’s always been here because I can’t imagine life without him, but to think he’s almost 6 months seems crazy.
Being by myself with him has shown me just how patient I can be and how strong I can be. It is a little overwhelming at times because I wonder if I’m doing things the right way, or if I’m doing a good job, how much is he missing out on not having Matthew here? I think those things and then think to myself, he’s loved, he’s happy, he’s healthy…we’re doin’ alright!
I look at this time apart from Matthew as an opportunity to grow. It’s hard but:
