Your Smile

Hello, Sweet Boy!

I just want you to know that I think the world of you and your precious smile!  You light up any moment when I look over at you and you show your precious grin.  You got your second tooth coming in.  And that smile is just getting cuter and cuter.  I love you, beautiful boy!

First Tooth!

Today at church I was holding you in the nursery.  Your daddy and Uncle Dan were standing there.  And you smiled.  There it was.  It had just broken the surface.  A little tooth!

Your first tooth!!  This is something Mommies and Daddies get really excited about.  You on the other hand are confused as to why this is happening to you.  You didn't ask for such torture and in your opinion, life would be better without teeth!  But Buddy, let me tell you...You think those cheerios and bananas are the most awesome thing ever now, but wait until you try food such as steak, grapes, popcorn, and bacon!  You need your little teeth for these.  It may not seem like its worth it now, but when you are older you will be grateful for these painful buggers.  And the good news is that you will not remember the pain by then!

So keep smilin' and showin' off that pearly white!

I love you,
Mommy

Our Little Boy

Hello, Beautiful Boy!

As I was giving you your bottle last night, I noticed something.  Here I am, rocking a boy.  Not a baby.  A little boy.  Your features have changed.  You still have the little chubby hands and soft-looking face and oh-so-smooth skin...but you are bigger!  And longer!  And fuller!  My little baby is not a baby anymore!  As you finished your bottle I carried you to your crib and laid you down still astonished.  Oh, how you have grown since the first time I laid you in there! 

Mommy needs a moment...Mommy's little baby is growing up despite her begging and pleading. 

This is bittersweet.  I love watching you grow everyday.  It is a constant reminder of God blessing us with every one of your breaths!

My love will always grow with you!

Your Birthday Party!

Saturday, March 3, 2012
It took six months in the making, but your Birthday was a hit!  I was surpirsed at how many guests arrived to celebrate you!  There were at least 30 people here.  The house was decorated in Dr Seuss and the food was named after Dr. Seuss foods.  We had Green Eggs, Ham, and Who Roast Beast.  We had Yots in a Pot, Hop on Pop Soda Pop, Assorted Greens and Other Things and a Big Katroo Birthday Cake! 

You had on a little Dr. Seuss Cat and the Hat onesie for the first half of the party. Then after you ate your birthday cake, we changed you into you Thing 1 onesie.   It was necessary.  You got cake and icing all over you. 


After cake and ice cream, we all gathered around for presents.  I read a few pages to you from Dr. Seuss' book, "Happy Birthday to You!" and then we started opening gifts.  You got so many clothes, toys and gift cards.  You were playing with your new toys with Roman and Claire before we were even done opening gifts! 
Your birthday party was amazing.  The "Thank You" cards have been sent (with your little face on them), the leftover cake has been thrown out, and the toys are still everywhere!  So many people love you.  We love you, Little Buddy!
