To my baby boy…Gabriel Eliah.
The other day I heard you wake up from your nap. Happy, as usual, you begin to call to me in your cute little sing-song voice. Typically you don’t cry, but call out, “Maaaaaama, Baaaaaaaba, Maaaaaama,” until someone shows up at your door. Today I decided to grab my camera before heading up to get you. I am very glad I did.
There you sat cute as could be. You showed me your blankie, pointed out the window saying, “Doggie!” When I asked you about the bird I heard, you made a cute expression as you looked around your room like it was getting ready to pop out and surprise us.
And then one of my most favorite things in the world….you lean down because you habitually HAVE to give kisses through your cribs bars.
One of your favorite games is to take your blankie and throw it out over your crib on top of my head, and then I throw it back up and do the same thing to you.
After you got out of bed, you got dressed. I just adore your sweet little puny arms. And your eyelashes are going to melt the heart of the ladies someday…I am afraid.
Books are your life right now- all shapes, all sizes, all colors, all types of stories….but your current favorite that has to be read and reread again and again is “Green Eggs and Ham.”
You are such a big boy…and the thought that my “baby” is not going to be a baby much longer makes me sad. I can’t believe you will be 2 yrs. old in just a couple months.
This may sound completely selfish, but I am kinda happy you have taken your sweet time growing and developing. Each kid is different, and I know you will get there in your own time, but I am enjoying these days with you small and in my arms.
It is no secret that I want to {and do} eat your face quite often. How could I possibly help myself?
And yes, you look like you father, but with your Mama’s brown eyes. I am still in shock that I have a blond headed baby, but I love it.
Sweet little boy….I will savor these last few days before your terrible twos arrive. With you sweet and pretty calm nature, I don’t imagine that they would be very terrible. But we will have to wait and see. You may just surprise me and give me a run for my money. :)
Love you little goose.
