My sweet baby,
You've had a rough last few weeks of being sick and its broken my heart not to have my happy giggly little boy. But it has also made the good days even sweeter. Some of my favorite parts of the day are bath time because you love it and soak me with all your splashing! You have spent so much time with your Nami and Papa. They love you dearly and you know them so well. You still love being outside and taking walks. Papa once walked with you for over an hour because you fell asleep and he didn't want to wake you up. You have the biggest alligator tears and always have. Your little squeal when I chase you is the best sound. You have the cutest chicken legs and so I purposefully leave your pants off! You finally acknowledged the songs we sing and you love itsy bitsy spider and move your little fingers along with me as I sing. I tried to discipline you because you pinch hard and I told you no and ouch and grabbed your hand sternly and you laughed in my face. I couldn't believe it. You definitely are used to being the center of attention and like to look around when you enter a room to make sure everyone acknowledges you. You still have the sweetest face and are the most handsome baby I've laid eyes on. I'm in awe at how much you mean to me. I hope you'll always think of me as your best friend because these days I am definitely who you want to be around. You are my world and I love you more than ever!
All my heart,
Your mama
