Time is flying

Dear Sweet Baby Carter,
I'm failing miserably in keeping up with your baby book, marking down first events, and writing you letters like I promised myself I would.  Instead, I'm soaking you up, kissing your neck which makes you giggle, and hugging you more times than I can count.

I love the way you say "momma" and come to me with both arms up as your happier in my arms than walking beside me. I love how when I hold you, you bend your little arm around mine to hold on better. You point to everything around you, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to do something like pour a glass of milk, but you're so curious about everything you want to investigate it all.  I don't blame you and I love how much you want to learn.

You love your giraffe headed blanket we call Lovie and you have started to dance so much. It's just adorable.  You have many words and you say them now and again but when you want to learn a new word you stare at my face, watch my mouth and try to say it yourself. It's so amazing.

You are amazing and I cannot believe you once lived in my belly.  Growing and changing into the baby boy you are today.

I love you more than you'll ever know.  Even though you'll be 16 months in 4 short days you'll always be my baby.
Love you,
Momma
