You Were Missed

This weekend, Daddy and I traveled to Wisconsin Dells for some time alone. It wasn't hard for me to leave you at first, but as the hours wore on, I started to miss you more and more. I thought what I needed was a break from you, so I could have some ME time, and it was altogether enjoyable and refreshing. But there is nothing like coming home to you to hug you and kiss you and just love you. You were very happy to see us too. And as I am writing this, you are leaned back in your vibrating chair watching Kirikou and the Wild Beast, one of your favorite movies. I love you.

How beautiful is nothing more

than to wait at Zyon's door?

I've never been in love like this before

There is nothing more beautiful to me than you. 

Our Sick Day

This is a photo you and I took when you were a little over 6 months of age. You were sick and we stayed home for a sick day :) 

Sickie Poo, Icky Poo

Today, you're suffering from pink eye and an ear infection (your first one ever). I've taken off of work to help nurse you back to health, because me or your daddy can't stand to yes you in any kind of pain. I just want you to know I love you and I will do whatever it takes to take the pain out of your ways.

Xoxo,
Mama

Like Father, Like Son

This picture was taken at 5 months and daddy was 20 years young. We love you so much and I think this picture signifies  the awesome relationship between you two

One of Your Firsts

Last night, I gave you a bottle and you held it and fed yourself the whole time. It was the most beautiful, tear-jerking thing I had experienced since you birthday. After you finished your bottle, I fed you baby food to celebrate your turning 4 months, and you ate a whole jar of squash. Proud moment for a new mommy. And I think you have your daddy's appetite.

New Year, New You

Even though you're just a tiny little thing, you celebrated bringing in your first New Year with mommy a couple of days ago. This is the year that you will turn one and it just freaks me out. I feel like just a few days ago you were born. But you have conversations with me and smile at your loved ones like you're just natural born socialite. And you probably are. I just want you to know i love you and I'm doing everything in my power to make 2012 our year.

Love,
Mama
