some attention...please?!

so pratt and i have gotten into a little routine. we do the same things pretty much every weekday. it's only taken me a little over four months :)

anyway, around 11 we head downstairs to watch desperate housewives on lifetime. i know, i know...horrible. but i rarely watch tv anymore. and i'm a tv lover.

typically, what we do is this. i put pratt in his jumper. i sit down next to him with my lunch. i eat, talk to him while he jumps...and occasionally, watch tv. i'm listening the entire time...but my attention is usually on him.

if i'm looking at him, he's bouncing away. but if i look away, he stops. i've noticed this the past few weeks, but it's gotten to be pretty obvious. if i'm not looking at him, giving him attention, he won't jump. instead, he sets his little chin down on the bouncy horse. and just waits. he could pretty much wait all day on me to turn back to him. and as soon as i do, he begins bouncing away.

i caught it on camera. i'm sorry for the loud background noise. but i had to have the tv on...otherwise, it wouldn't work.

and here are is a still that i captured of him with his chin down.

this makes me feel all sorts of emotions. i love him so much. and i am amazed at how much he loves his daddy and me. he loves when we look at him. he loves having you smile at him. he is so, so much fun right now!
