9 months

my sweet baby,
nine months.  how has it been nine months?  you have slipped into our lives and burrowed yourself into our hearts, and it's true, we can't remember what life was like without you....  you have humbled me quite a bit my sweet boy.  i always thought that i would have the whole mom thing figured out by 6 months.  6 months flew by, and i still feel as clueless today as i did the first time i held you.

i love you more and more everyday.

you have taught me a lot about myself, a lot about my flaws, and even more about how little i am aware of.  you have opened my eyes to the importance of letting go and letting god.  soemtimes when i rock you to sleep i am struck with thoughts of how much i love you and then struck again with how much more god loves you.  it is hard to think, but he knows you even better than i.  i know your mannerisms, he knows the hairs on your head.

i am trying to wrap my head around how you have gone from a sweet snuggly 8 lb 9 oz peanut, into a 18.5 lb, 30 inch tornado!  you are alllllllways on the move.  but you still love to cuddle the mom. i have heard a saying that having a child is like allowing a piece of your heart to wander around outside of your body.... its true.

i love you buddy, you have my heart, you are my heart.
