When Oliver gets really excited... like, daddy just walked through the door after a long day at school and is about to pick me up excited... Oliver makes a face. This face to be exact.

I love this face. I love that my dearest son gets this excited throughout the day. Ollie is going through a daddy love phase right now. Along with separation anxiety. Its been an interesting ride. I've had my feelings hurt on more than one occasion when daddy is the only person Oliver wants, which is most evenings these past few weeks. I guess I should be glad that Oliver loves his dad so much. They have been bff since the beginning. Since I had a c-section, Jake was on baby duty while I was in recovery. My mom said that she watched Jake with Ollie through the nursery window and that Ollie had his little teeny hand wrapped around Jake's finger during his exam/bath/monitoring. My heart explodes at the thought of that. My darling Jake meeting his son and watching over him, holding his hand, loving him so instantly... how powerful.
As we approach Oliver's first birthday in three short weeks, I can't help but get emotional over the last 11 months of my life. The introduction of Oliver into our family, the long sleep deprived days, the most intense love I have ever felt. It's all so surreal watching him go from baby to infant to budding toddler. I get weepy going through the pictures I am printing out for his birthday party. I miss his little three month old giggling self but am so curious and excited to see him grow into a walking talking little child. So excited in fact, I am making the above face.
