Our son, Laton, was born on 3/23 at 8:38pm. I think he may have the same way with numbers as my father did - March 23, btw, happens to be my parents wedding anniversary - and was also the date Eric and I got engaged. I was born on the summer solstice and am partical to the times of year when the sun crosses over the equator (equinox - the beginning of spring or fall), or from our vantage point on earth, comes to a stop and starts heading in the opposite direction (solstice - the beginning of summer or winter).
I'm sure all parents think their children are special, but I am surprised by how much I enjoy spending time with Laton. Just watching him stretch after a nap or look curiously at the ceiling fan is about the most fun I've had since our wedding. It helps me to understand how much my parents love me - something I 'knew' but truly didn't understand the depth or breadth of. It's been a wonderful 2 weeks and I'm trying to live each moment consciously as I am sure the 3 months maternity leave will fly by...
Looking forward to introducing you to Laton and celebrating my father at the memorial service on April 30th. My mom will be posting specific details of the memorial here shortly.
He's so cute! I can't wait to hold him!
