Kick Kick Kick

Whenever Evan gets really content and happy he kicks. It is the cutest thing to see. Tonight he was sitting in his highchair getting slightly frustrated when Daddy took a napkin away he was trying to eat. I quickly gave Evan a teething biscuit and the smile made it clear he was happy. But what further sealed that happiness for me is hearing those little legs kicking in and out under the table as he enjoyed his biscuit.

This week we had a nice Thursday with Sofia and Brandie. At the very end of our visit Brandie ran inside for a minute before we parted our ways. We left the two kiddos in each of their strollers looking at the fountain in my courtyard. As I was looking at those two sitting out there I heard a giggle. I peeked around the corner to see Evan with a huge smile on his face looking at Sofia. Sofia would talk back and Evan would giggle and kick in happiness. It was the sweetest interaction I have ever seen with Evan and another child. They really are buddies! I kept watching them from inside the door all the while making sure they didn't notice my presence. I didn't want to intrude on this exchange between friends. Evan continued to giggle and his kicks kept getting higher and higher.

I never want to forget the sound of those little giggles or watching those happy kicks.
