True Love

I know that we always joke about Scotty having a girlfriend, but I'm starting to wonder just how serious it really is. Sam, as you may recall, is exactly eleven weeks his junior and daughter to our good friends, the Smiths.  Brian and Jason are co-workers and share a secretary while Courtney and I share many afternoons surrounded by Starbuck cups and piles of babies (and one very active toddler).

We've had all kinds of playdates over the last few months, and each time, Scotty has such an affinity for Sam that we've started to tease Jason (Sam's dad) that he better keep an eye on the two of them. (Jason usually pulls Scotty aside at this point and starts the discussion with 'the circle of trust' lecture.) Seriously - even at baby gymnastics, where there are all kinds of other babies and toys and stimuli going on, Scotty always manages to find Sam and reach out and give her a little squeeze on the arm. Or a not-so-gentle yank on the arm, but we're working on that.

And in perfect little baby girl form, Sam bats her eyelashes, coos, and smiles at him. All of which are totally adorable.

But today, I'm starting to wonder if there really is something between the two of them, not just some parental fantasy. Scotty and I dropped by to visit this morning and to visit Court's mom, who is in town for hte week. Sam was engaging in some tummy time and since it was the end of our playdate, I was trying to put my sneakers on without dropping Scotty. I laid him next to her and this is what transpired:

Bear in love
They crossed their little arms against each other. And stared into each other's eyes. I swear, this photo was not staged or arranged -- the kids melted into this little pile of baby cuteness all on their own. (and we, of course, were armed with our cameras and immediately began snapping away.)

In fact, Scott laid there so quietly for so long (an unheard of in the era of tummy time) that I actually remarked, "Is he sick?" He just laid there silently, starting at baby Sam.

He was just completely fascinated with her. And she, with him.

So sweet.

Uh-oh, Jason.

Kim, I laughed so hard at Kelly crawling to escape the "puke" on the plane..

Baby books are the great gift parents, well, actually, Moms give to their kids. So are scrapbooks. Our oldest son, Steve, has our two grandkids, Matthew and Sophia...and they love each installment of their Daddy and his Mom's comments.

Bear is absolutely beautiful. You're doing a super job being his Mom.

fondly,
jan

    About Me

    Think of this as the epilogue to Bridget Jones' story. Well, mostly. Bridget marries the handsome lawyer, starts a blog while on bedrest, and decides marathon running sounds like fun. Bridget goes through a divorce but keeps running. Hilarity ensues.
