Unique Moments

There are some things that only happen once and three of those things happened in the last 24 hours:

1. Last night, as I was changing my baby's diaper and putting some Vaseline on his penis, I noticed that he had an erection. I'm sure this will be the first of many.
2. This afternoon, after pulling my baby's urine-soaked onesie over his head, I realized that my baby was crying real tears.
3. This afternoon, the nub of my son's umbilical cord, which had been hanging on by a thread, finally fell off (18 days after birth). And we are now free to bathe him, which we will do tonight, when my husband gets home from work.

I love these milestones!
