Bear FTW.
I have the best baby. Hands down. I think that is something that every parent thinks of their child. I truly believe it.
My son was not always the best. He wouldn't come out when he was due. He wouldn't even come out when they tried to help me help him come out. They had to go in and take him out. It was a big joke around my job, and with my friends that he was going to come out with a moustache and a tattoo. No one knew when his real due date was. The doctors gave me 4 different dates, and decided on the very last one as a birthday. I still think he is a month late. But oh well.
Why is my son the best baby? Well, he sleeps through the night. This happened at 3 weeks. And stopped around 12 weeks. Then started up again right around 17 weeks. He not only sleeps through the night, but I can put him down awake and he puts himself to sleep. He is a pretty ok napper. Going down about 3 hours after he wakes for the day. Speaking of that, he wakes at 7am the first time. He will play for 20 minutes and then go back to sleep for an hour, sometimes 2. I don't have any of the sleep issues that I read so often, from other mothers. I count my blessings.
Another reason my Bear is the best baby? He eats like a champ. He didn't have any issues with eating, that I hear horror stories of. He pretty much likes everything. Except peas. Or really anything green. Maybe he just doesn't like green things. But man, I have tried peas 4-5 times and he makes the same exact face when eating them. To be fair, I hate peas myself. I wonder if because I didn't eat any peas while he was in utero, if that is why he hates peas? Something else to ponder what I did wrong in my pregnancy.
Want another reason Bear is the best? He is, in strictly my opinion, far advanced when it comes to mobility. He is crawling, basically running on his hands and knees. He is pulling up to stand. He can get anywhere he wants. Wait, does that make him the best baby? I don't know. But I am proud. Frazzled, and worried about him hurting himself, but very proud.
The sweetest reason my Bear is the best? It doesn't matter how upset he is, if I just say "I love you", he stops crying, fussing, throwing a fit, and smiles at me. That smile is so precious. I just love it. That real, sweet smile that just melts my heart and makes everything all better. Nothing in life can ever compare to that.
I think Bear is going to be very smart. A lot smarter than Mom and Dad. Good thing, 'cause Mama can't be waiting on tables much longer.
If you can't tell, I am in total love with my Bear. I am thinking about him every second I am away from him. When I am with him, I am filled with this emotion, that I can't name, but it feels like completeness.
I know that every Mom, thinks their child is the best. I truly believe it. Why is yours the best?

Well, you know all about my issues (not sleeping, won't take solid food, etc), but she still is the best.
I'm so glad Bear is such a little champ for you. Seems to me like he was sent straight to you, especially FOR you, KWIM? Like, life can be so complicated and messy sometimes, and that's why he's such a good boy. Either that, or you're just a really great mom. I'm betting on both.
