Henry David,

It’s been three whole months since you joined us here in the world, and I can’t hardly believe how the time has flown. Thirteen weeks ago I was tucking you in for our very first night together in the hospital…a momma, already so in love with her new baby boy. Every day since then you’ve spiced up my life in your own bright-eyed, wide-smiled, funny face-making kind of way. I can’t get enough of learning you or loving you, and I especially can’t get enough of watching you grow into your own–your personality shines through in everything you do, even at this early age.

I can’t help but wonder over and over why God entrusted such an amazing gift to me, but you are undoubtedly mine and I am so, so thankful.

One quarter of a year, my darling. One quarter of what’s sure to be the best year of my life thus far. I love all of our days together. You are my sweet, sweet boy…

here’s to four months and five months and six and so many more. love,

mm (for momma, in your case:)
