Coming from a mother of three, who keeps an immaculately clean house, gardens, cooks, bakes, teaches her kids, and always does awesome things with them...I see the wisdom in this. I will probably never have a period in life again where I can just sit down and cuddle with a baby. The next child (God willing!) we have will have a big brother that I'll also have to run after and chase...sitting down for just a good long cuddle will certainly not be as frequent of an option.
I should enjoy this baby time, because it's fleeting! And as soon as Michael gets moving, being a cuddly little baby may not be as appealing to him as going after a toy, getting into Daddy's music/DVD collection, or reminding Mommy that she needs to vacuum more frequently.
So, in honor of my sister's wisdom...here's our day today:

Oh my gosh!!! So cute! I love them. Kathy gave you great advise. She's amazing...and so are you!
Kathy did give you good advise. She is so right! Enjoy your little butterball.
Such cute pictures. I love the sleeping O-face!
Aww! That's so sweet. You're sister is a great example for you. :-)
You seem like you are fully enjoying your little cutie. ♥
It is wonderful to see you enjoying this precious time with Michael. It is also awesome to have such a great relationship with Kathy and the boys.
The pictures(most handsome!!!!!) speak very loudly about your days and how much you are enjoying this new adventure called parenthood.
You are a very special gift, and HE has blessed you with the most precious gifts of Michael and Michael. Don't forget to give yourself some well earned "Kim" time. Love you
Oh -- he is one beautiful baby boy :). The picture of him on his tummy really reminds me of you as a baby. And I love the ones of him sleeping and relaxing on the Boppy pillow -- adorable!
Thank your your kind words about the kids and the house and everything :). You are doing such a great job as a Mom, Wheetah. You can just tell, even as small as Michael is, that he is a happy, content little bug who is thriving on the love and joy that you and Michael Sr. surround him with.
It can be so tough to figure out the right balance with baby time, chore time, work time, husband time, Kim time, etc. It's a daily struggle over here, and it's easy to work up feelings of "Mommy guilt" over pretty much anything!
But, like I said, you're already doing an awesome job! Over these last 4+ years that you've been an aunt to my kids, you've helped give me a fresh perspective on finding the joys and silliness in being around my kids -- just by watching you play with them and enjoying the crazy stuff they do.
Anyway, Michael is one lucky baby to have you as his Mom!!
