That's what Aaron said tonight when expressing gratitude for our baby boy in our good night prayers. I know it's late but I wanted to write this down so I would never forget...
Tonight we were visiting Aaron parents and Porter was a little grumpy because of constipation. Well he finally took care of the problem and was all smiles. Grandma Judy described it well tonight when she said, "He smiles with his eyes." I took advantage of the happy baby and start playing with him, you know, the typical Mommy stuff. I was getting huge smiles so I put my hand on his chest and shook him (in a nice, gentle way) his little chubby arms wrapped around my hand and HE LAUGHED!!! It was the most darling sound I've every heard! He did it a few more times and we tried to get it on camera but by the time we'd gotten it out he was tired of me vibrating him. We weren't expecting him to laugh so soon it surprised us and it was so great because Aaron was sitting right there because he had the day off so he didn't miss it. We were all together as a family, it was so perfect!
All night long I've felt so grateful for my life! It's not what I expected and things haven't gone according to my plan but the Lord knew better. He's blessed me with something I never knew I wanted and in fact had feared. Our Heavenly Father really does know best and the joy, love, and gratitude I feel for being so blessed makes me feel unworthy of such a gift for Porter truly does "Light Up Our Life."
p.s. Porter--I hope one day you read this and that you know just how much your Mommy Loves YOU!

He truly is a very special boy! I'm glad I could be there to see him laugh! That's the one thing I've been waiting for! Now that he's laughing he can quit growing up now. ;)
That is so sweet. I agree, it can be difficult when things don't go as planned, but once it happens you just know it was meant to be. Heavenly Father trusts you so much to bless you with one of his angels. He is so lucky to have you.
I almost started crying just barely when I read this post! I love little Porter, he is such a blessing. I wish I could have been there to see you guys last night!
not to sound repetative rach I almost started crying too, the tears were there but they just didn't come out! You wrote this perfectly meghann, so that I could feel almost exactly what you were feeling by reading this. I wish I could meet little porter! I am so happy for you and your family!
Oh Megs, I love you guys! I can't wait until we can hear Porter laugh too! I'm so excited to see you guys for the world cup qualifiers! Will porter be attending?...:)
