Dear Jameson,
Hi lil bugga! We had a wonderful Mother's Day together. Last year at this time I celebrated being a mom, but you were still in my tummy.. this year I got to hold you and thank you over and over for making me a mommy. You are such a gift .. you enhance my life in ways I never even thought of.
Daddy has been in Florida for a couple of days, he misses you a lot, but he will be back tomorrow night to hug you and kiss you before you go to sleep for the night.
You constantly make new sounds, some are SO loud, but you still have your soft little bird voice. You 'whooo' a lot, when you're in your crib. Often in the mornings right when you wake up, you just whooo and whooo for a long time.
You absolutely adore the doggies, Kyla especially, but also Sebastian. You like to pet them but you sometimes grab their fur, so I make sure you don't pull it too hard, we don't want them to get upset with you.
You also adore your Uncle Jon.. all day today you just lit up like a little Christmas Tree every time you saw him. It's so cute!
You started saying a word that sounds like "Hi".. though I don't think it's entirely thought out.
You roll from your back to your tummy.. a lot. But you haven't figured out how to flip back over to your back (you don't like to stay on your tummy for very long), so you start to fuss after a while. Then I flip you back, and you flip again. You like to lay on the floor to play for a little bit, and sometimes on your 'Whale' play mat in Mommy and Daddy's room. You LOVE our room, every time I bring you in there you squeak or coo.
We have a lot of time, just you and I. I put you to bed every night, usually around 9, and then Daddy and I trade off for your middle of the night wake (around 2 or 3am), and then I get up with you when you're up for the day at around 6, 6:30.
Your killer smile is the best thing I have ever seen. I think my favorite smile from you is when I go in to say hi to you in the morning when you wake up, and I undo your swaddle (if you haven't already) and you stretch and smile.. you're all sleepy and warm. I scoop you up into my arms and cuddle you for a while as you wake up. It's just so sweet.
I admire your honesty. The purity of your emotions is something that is just beautiful to observe. If you're happy, you show it. If you are feeling loving, you show it. If you're upset, you show it. There's no guessing, you tell everyone exactly how you feel every moment of the day. I think it's wonderful.
Before I finish this up and run to bed for the night (until you wake me up) I just wanted to thank you. Of course I thank you for being you, for being so sweet and so free spirited, but mostly today I want to thank you for choosing me to be your Mommy. I have no idea what I've done in life to be so blessed by you, but I am thankful every single moment of every single day. I promise I will do my best to thank you by my actions of loving you deeply, teaching about the world, showing you the way as you become independent, and kissing any bumps and bruises along the way.
Thank you so much for making me your Mommy. I love you more than I'll ever be able to tell you.
