Love

I was looking through some pictures that I took last weekend and realized (again) how much I love seeing my husband with my son.  That man loves his baby boy like nothing I've ever seen.  I think I fall in love with him all over again when I see a moment like this:

MrKLB was reading a story to Brady before bed and after the story finished he turned him around to rock him and pat him on the back like he always does.  Almost always, Brady immediately lays his head down on MrKLB's shoulder and wraps his arm around like he is giving him a hug.  I've noticed, though, that even after Brady is clearly falling asleep MrKLB doesn't want to let go.  He just sits there, holding his son, at peace.

Now that Brady is getting older, MrKLB is having even more fun playing with him.  Brady has started to enjoy throwing balls, and this weekend MrKLB got out a baseball and they were playing with it.  Throwing the baseball with his son is one of those moments MrKLB has dreamed about since before Brady existed.

The love MrKLB feels for his son is definitely returned...

And in other news, our little man took his first steps last night!  He has been walking around pushing toys or chairs or whatever he can find for a while now, but this is the first time he has decided to let go and actually take a few steps on his own!  He took one step towards his Daddy and then later 2 steps towards his Mommy.  We are so excited!  There will be no stopping him soon!
