My Sweet Baby Boy,

You will always be the one who made me a mother. You started
me on this journey to something I have always wanted to be. When I look at you,
I am overwhelmed with an uncontrollable amount of joy. It is unexplainable the
feeling that is in my heart when I hold you close. It is incredible how much
love ones heart can hold for one so small.

You have quite the personality. You talk all the time and if
talking wasn’t enough, you attempt to be the loudest noise maker in the room.
It is pretty amusing. You are so full of joy though. That is something I love
so much about you. I pray that you will always live life full of joy from the
Lord above. When you smile, you can see it in your eyes. I just love the way
you smile with your eyes. You love people, I love that you love people. Just
like your mama, although you look just like your daddy.

You are so curious; curious about everything. You get this
look on your face every time something catches your attention. I pray you will
always be eager to learn and eager to explore.

Your eyes light up and you squeal in excitement when your
daddy and I walk in the room, it makes me feel on top of the world. You have
picked up this habit of making fake laughing or coughing sounds, it makes me
wonder how much of a character you are going to be as a toddler. You have
started to mimic faces and sounds mommy is making, it reminds me how precious
my example is to you. It reminds me that you are watching me and I have to take
that seriously.

When I pull you out of your crib, you rub your eyes and bury
your face into my chest. Then you grab my face with both hands and plant a big
ol’ kiss on me. It makes me feel like I can never fail you. It reminds me that
you think I am doing okay.

I take this job of being your mommy seriously. I want every
moment to count. I want to lead your towards Jesus, in my successes and in my
failures. I want to teach you more than I tell you. I want to play with you and
show you the importance of quality time. I want to cheer you on when you start
to doubt you can do it. I want to cover you in prayer and never fail to do so.
Most importantly, I want to point you to Christ. I want to point you to His
love and His grace. I want you to see Him as relational and not as a dictator.
I want you to see Him as the definition of love, and I want you to see that in
me.

My sweet baby boy, I am believing the best for you. You, my
son, are already a seed of change in this family. You are birthed in a home of
love and godliness. I pray that will be the route of all things in your life. I
am so thankful for these precious six months with you, and am so excited for
many years to come. I am so excited that God chose me to be your mother. I
cannot wait to see what He has in store for you, my sweet baby boy.
