But I am :)
It has been a pretty hectic last week for Jordan. He has seen 4 grandparents, 2 aunts and an uncle, and various other guests. I think that it is special that he gets to see so many people, and that he can get used to so many people, and so often. But he takes after Steph in that he gets easily tired (and maybe stressed) while all of this is going on. Steph definitely likes her down time. I, for the most part, need to be around people all of the time. But then, (all of a sudden, Steph says) I flip and need my alone time. I guess Jordan gets a little of both of us in that. We have found that he is pretty temperamental. One moment he is all smiles, the next moment he is fussy. (He probably gets that from me more than Steph).
Jordan has found his feet. Tonight he was on my chest, sitting up and staring at his feet. I took of his socks so he could see his toes and feel that they were really his. So much amazement and inquisitiveness in his eyes and face!
I think the thing that I am most thankful for right now is Steph. Parenthood is hard. Marriage is hard as well, but not as hard. (Steph hasn't slipped my grasp and fallen back and hit her head on the floor, yet). On more than one occasion, I have told Steph I don't know how single parents do it. I know that I would not be enjoying this as much as I am without her to share it with.
Word of the moment: Grace.
