Dearest J

So u r in ur 9th month... MA. Do u know what that means?
It may mean that its your month to start exploring and discovering your world. It also means that it may be my last month to sit down at one place for more than 5 minutes.

Just like your life is in my hands, I sometimes feel like my life is in yours. Just when I’m about to fall asleep after the overly interesting day I’ve had I here you wake up and cry for me in the crib. Its like I can sleep when I want to or wake up when I want to. I have to sleep only and only when you sleep or you will stay up and not let me sleep. My shower time is controlled by your protests… oh how I long for one of those long water filled weekend baths. And when we are out anytime you get fed up it means its time for us to leave. So grocery shooping time, visiting friends or whatever we do we need to be prepared for “its time to go home”

But…

When I watch you play peacefully teething everything you can find, it brings me great joy…. Joy that I cannot explain. I’m thankful for that beautiful smile you give me every morning…. I’m thankful for the laughter when I tickle you, I’m thankful for the giggles and cuddles and playful fun… innocence and mischief wrapped in one precious package. Most of all im thankful to God for you being healthy and good and happy for us. Its like an angel walked into our house and made it such a sweet home. I wish you’d sleep longer but you never were the sleeping type so deal with it I will have to. You will grow up fast and you wont even want to be around us or have time for us dear… so I’m glad you’re there for us to share our love. My dear princess please be a good person… that’s all we ask of you.
