Peanut,

 

Your daddy and I have been talking about you a lot lately. It is incredible how much you have grown. Any time I come across an old photo of you I just cannot get over how much has transpired in such a short amount of time. You are SO much fun. We have said multiple times over the last few weeks how fun this stage you are in is. Every time we say something, you are trying to say it too. Every time we do something new, you are trying to copy it and do it yourself. You are a little sponge soaking up absolutely everything around you. Whenever I see your daddy hold you I cannot get over how big you look now. I just truly cannot get over how fast it went, you are changing so much and it is really hitting me. Maybe it’s because your little sister will be here soon and I am realizing just how fast it really goes.

 

When ever you hurt yourself even a little, you run right over to us and point to your “owie” and ask for “mwah” then we kiss it and say all better and you repeat “all booter.” It is our favorite thing you say right now, we are always purposely trying to get you to say it because it’s just so darn cute! You are constantly grabbing your coat and hat trying to put it on to go “bye-bye” and pretend you’re headed out the door. Your dad thinks you and I are crazy with how much you and I love to go places. You love going to “class” at church and playing with everyone. They all talk about you as a ball of energy who never stops talking. You are an incredibly animated person. When you get excited about some thing, everyone knows. You talk to complete strangers like you see them every day, you may even be the favorite hallway greeter at church.

 

Since it’s getting increasingly hard for mommy to get on the floor with you with how pregnant she is, especially since she injured herself, you’ve been playing a lot with daddy. He is your absolute favorite play mate. You have all these little games you play together and it truly warms my heart watching you both. You have such a good daddy and it’s apparent in how much you love him. You are my cuddle bug for sure though. You love to curl up as close as possible with me and snuggle, it really reminds me of how special you are.

 

You don’t like when your toys aren’t working the way you want. We are working on teaching you to ask for “help” before screaming when something isn’t working right. You also do not like getting your clothes taken off and immediately run to your room saying “clothes” and pick out something new.

 

You are less than a month away before you become a big brother. I am trying to soak up every moment with you – you being the only little we have. I can’t wait to see how you are as a big brother. I know that you are going to love her as much as you love everyone else you come into contact with.

 

Until next month….

 

Love you,

 

Mama.
