You and me together
We could do anything baby
You and me together yes, yes
You and me together
We could do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
Oh and when the kids are old enough, we're gonna teach them to fly
I was listening to the song You & Me by the wonderful Dave Matthews Band yesterday, and I just loved these lyrics. They remind me that even on the days that I feel 'stuck', really I am free. And while the little life of Oliver certainly demands a lot of me, I've never felt more free than when I am with him. Before Oliver I would not in a million years sing in the grocery store. Now I sing freely to him as I race down the aisles, simply because it makes him laugh. And never do I think twice about what the shoppers around me are thinking. I can spend hours crawling on the floor, reading books and making silly faces; and from that I feel accomplished. This new little body of hope, future and adventure that is Oliver. He is completely free, and he makes me feel like we can do anything :) And like the DMB lyrics, my most sincere prayer is that everyday I spend with him, I am teaching him to fly.
I think this video was taken in June/July of 2009. He is just learning to pick of his head, an athletic task at this stage in life.
This video was taken yesterday. It's really nothing special, just Oliver exploring in his swimsuit before going to the hot tub; but I think it's amazing that he has come this far in less than a year.
