Independence.
At one of Falco’s early morning feedings on Wednesday, to celebrate turning two weeks old, his umbilical cord stump fell off! I was happy and excited and more sentimental than I expected when I saw it. I loved seeing his cute little belly button, and it was more monumental than I expected to see the end of the cord that connected us for nine months. I was so sentimental about it in fact that I couldn’t throw away the remnant that fell off. Matt found it on his changing table today and told me it was disgusting and threw it away. He said I might as well keep his first poopy diaper if I wanted to keep his umbilical stump. Leave it to Matt to put things into perspective for me. Speaking of Matt, when he woke up on Wednesday I showed him Falco’s navel and he said that he was practically ready for his own apartment now.
