Dear Jack,
Another month where I am telling you to slow down! Also another month where your dad and I proclaim that this is our favorite stage. Except for the fussy nights due to stupid teething you are a dream baby with such a huge personality. It's like you know exactly when the camera is on and how to turn up the cuteness. Do I see modeling in your future? Maybe you will just be a charmer. You are more outgoing at home and tend to be shy and introverted when we get out in public...just like how I was at your age.
Some people think it's crazy that your dad and I haven't had a proper date night since having you. We just can't think of anything better than being with you on the weekends and after work. We will work on that though! I haven't really left you alone much (aside from the weekly grocery store trip) since having you. I know I need to work on this, but I just cherish my time with you so much especially since I'm away from you during the week.
I can't wait to celebrate your first Christmas and share you with all of our family and friends. Boy are you going to get spoiled!
Love,
Momma...practice saying it Ma-Ma
Love reading Jack's monthly updates and seeing how much him and Hadley are alike! And then I think - oh, crap! I need to write Had's before she turns 8 months old in just a few days! Aaaah...
ReplyDeletePS - Yes, THAT is a picture of me pregnant. With my first child. Nearly three years ago. Probably should get on updating that too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie!! I can not wait to start feeding Brody real food!!! I'm sure it will be a mess at first, but I can't wait to see the faces he makes. I'm so impressed with your baby food making skills too!
