We have had such a fun morning - considering you were running a fever and could not be soothed last night. All you wanted to do was cuddle with mommy or daddy. The doctor says you're teething. Yep, at 3 months old you are apparently experiencing the pains of 'growing up.' Drooling all over the place, gnawing on your hands and arms. You don't like the teething rings yet. Thank goodness no fever today. But we had to cancel your shot, too. I'm sure you don't mind that!
Today we've had a good morning. When daddy went to wake you up, you already had your eyes open. We love the mornings. It is the highlight of our day before we head to work or chores, or whatever the day holds. You have a ritual of extensive stretching and an array of funny faces. You scrunch your nose, scowl, frown, bite your lip...and then you smile. It's the best smile in the world. Almost like as soon as you're awake enough you realize how excited you are to see us (or maybe just to eat), but we anticipate the morning routine with joy.
You had some good play time today, too, including some silly sing-alongs with mommy. You waved your arms, kicked your legs and laughed as mommy sang some kid tunes. My favorite is "Who built the ark...Noah, Noah..." We read some books and you were content. Thank goodness you're feeling better today.
You are still very serious and contemplative. You look at us and life very curiously. I wonder what's going on in that little mind of yours. I pray for you to grow in strength, wisdom, and spiritual understanding.
After a cool walk this morning, it was time for your nap. You stayed awake as long as you could and as we walked, we prayed for each person in our family. Daddy, Nana & Papa, Pap and Gram, Grandma, Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Joey, baby Ayden. I pointed out the tall trees and green grass and grey skies - everything that God made to show you how much He loves you.
He made you, too, and mommy is so thankful. I told you the story of how Sara carried you in her tummy but how she picked mommy and daddy special just for you. You are more than I could have ever imagined.
Little boy, my love, thank you for being in my life.
