Letter to Elliot, age 1
Dear Elliot,
Oh, baby. What a year this has been.
Let me begin by telling you that you are such a wonderful baby. My birth experience with you could not have been better. You were a champ. Everything fell into place. September 5th, 2012, was a beautiful day. I could not have asked for a more perfect day.
You are such a gorgeous baby. People compliment you all the time. They especially love your eyes. They are so round and bright; we are not sure what color they will be yet... they started out as blue and are slowly getting darker, but are not brown yet. A darker hazel, perhaps? You have an honest smile and your hair has just recently started curling ever so slightly. I am thrilled by this development! I have always wanted a little boy with curls. I hope yours stick around.
You are an easy baby. You slept through the night so soon! I thought something was wrong, because babies aren't supposed to sleep. But you did. Of course, since you turned six months it has been a different story entirely, but it was a nice stretch you gave us.
Everybody always talks about how happy you are. And you ARE! You are a happy baby. Laid-back. Despite this, Momma and Daddy see a glimpse of your strong will. You are mischievous. Determined. I can tell that with you, there is no middle ground. You feel what you feel passionately. Watch out, world.
Your favorite things right now are blocks, your Sophie giraffe, and anything that brother is playing with. You give kisses! You also shake your head no. You call for me, "Mama!" and look at me pleadingly while putting your arms up. At bedtime, I nurse you, rock you, and we sing the night-night song. You love cuddling with me and I treasure this time. You grin at me so sweetly and it melts my heart.
I have so enjoyed your babyhood. I know that soon, you will become a toddler. I can hardly believe it, because I have savored every single moment of you being my baby. Some might say that I have spoiled you a bit...
Sweet Elliot, Momma loves you forever. You are my sunshine and always will be.
Always and forever,
Momma
