I am absolutely, positively, 100% in love with you. I'm unsure if a more adorable baby has ever existed and if I could freeze time, I'd keep you in this moment forever.
I love the way I know how to hold you best. You settle into my arms nearly immediately and my heart physically oozes love each time you fall asleep in my arms. I love the way you look at me when our eyes meet. It's as if you've never seen something more amusing. I love the way your whole body tightens up when you need to burp ... and how it immediately relaxes as soon as we've gotten it up. I love the way your eyes roll back in your head when you're falling asleep. And how when I'm swaying you to sleep you fall off into dreamland quicker if you're gripping my finger. And how you love to dance with me.
You are one of the five biggest blessings in my life and I'm a better mom for having you. Thank you for choosing us as your family. I thank God every day for the gift that you are.
You're an unbelievably simple child. You have simple wants and it makes loving you just as simple. You are grounding us during this transition and I will remember that of you always: what a blessing you were while we were preparing for the move to Houston ... a constant reminder to stay in the present and not allow ourselves to go crazy with the "what ifs" (even though I sometimes do get frazzled).
We love you deeply, "Pootie",
Mommy
P.S. I hope for your sake this nickname doesn't stick; but we're having too much fun with it at the moment. "Pootie Pootie Pumpkin Patch" and "Pootie Pootie Polka Dot" are our current favorites.
