Kate. You are so very loved.
You make my heart swell with so much love.
I sing to you a lot. It's what calms you down.
I usually sing right before your eyelids close, so I know you can still hear me.
Tonight you were you.
Sweet, loving Kate.
You heard my voice and looked up at me with the biggest tired, smiley eyes.
Then you snuggled your face back down and closed your eyes.
You did this multiple times until tears started to fall from my eyes.
Love was leaking out of my face ;)
In the last two weeks you've grown so much and learned so many new things. All those wakeful nights must have been leading to this.
You love to pick up cherrios from your high chair.
That's right you sit in high chairs like a pro.
You never really liked your bumbo,
Kept wanting to get out of it.
You can feed yourself cherrios too.
You are loving the sippy and think water is the greatest thing on earth. (Just like your mom who drinks 90 ounces a day)
You started sleeping on your belly face down.
Gave me a scare the first few nights. I checked on you countless times before finally giving into sleep.
But that's now the only way you sleep.
Except when you nap in mom & dads bed then you sprawl out on your back and take up so much room.
You love your blankies (gaze type) and hold part of them in your hand so you can stick it in your mouth and hold your thumb in your mouth.
You dont suck your thumb its just comforting to have in your mouth.
You still find the dog hilarious and laugh when he licks your toes.
You had your first hair cut this month. .. bye bye mohawk
You are trying to figure out crawling and it will probably happen in no time.
But you just drifted back to sleep again.
If only you knew how much I missed you at night, and how much I'd love to snuggle you every night.
Sleep sweet little one.
