Dear Jameson,

Just a quick note to tell you how much I love you.  Not that I don't already tell you enough!
My shirt is still a little wet from your dribble, you ate about 6 ounces before I put you to bed. 
You fell asleep with your fingers tangled in my hair, and humming to me as I sang to you, it is just the sweetest thing ever.
We had a good day today, as we always do.  You had your gym class, and played here at home in your bouncy thing, and on the floor, and in your crib.
You're becoming more and more independent, I have to admit it kind of freaks me out!  You need me for comfort, food, and to be clean.. and more and more you don't need me for a lot of other things, like playing, and napping.
Obviously you still need me, and will for a VERY long time (hopefully longer than shorter!), but even these little flickers of independence scare me, but of course at the same time make me proud that you're growing into such a self sufficient little boy all on your own.
Before I laid you down for bed tonight, I thought about how it's been 7 months since you were born, and it's gone by in what seems like the blink of an eye.. and then I thought about how double 7 months means you'd be 14 months, walking.  No longer needing me for locomotion, and probably by then not even needing me for bed time, or to feed you.  How am I going to let go?  Probably just one little breath at a time, I guess that's all we have.
I love you sweet boy, and I try so hard to treasure every single second I have with you.. so please be patient if I want to hold you a little longer than you'd like, or if I play with you a little more than you'd prefer, or if sometimes I just interrupt your alone time by swooping you up into my arms, to kiss your cheeks, and smell your sweet baby hair for a few minutes.
I love you!

Love, Mommy
