Dear Jonny, 10 Months

Dear Jonny,

Time is flying by way to fast, and you are becoming more of an independent little man. I went into your room this morning when I heard you calling for me, you were all smiles, and held your hands up for me to pick you up. I love starting every morning like this, and I cannot imagine life any other way.

As hard as it is to believe, your birthday is just around the corner. You are not my little baby boy anymore. I am so thankful for everything that we have, but I also wish that time would slow down. I want to soak in this time, time where everything is new to you, and you and I are learning new things everyday together. I don't want peek-a-boo to get old, and I don't want to see the day when you find belly loves annoying instead of hysterically funny.

I love when the house is filled with your laughter, laughter that could blow the doors down. Honest to goodness happiness that can be brought simply by Momma or Dada talking in silly voices. I hope that we are always able to find a way, no matter what stage of life we are in to bring laughter to each other. To find something that we can laugh about together, to laugh until our bellies hurt.

Jonny,
I am so proud of you. When I look at you I can hardly believe that I made you, you came from me, and that you are mine. I know that you are smart but I am blown away every time you do something new. We have been showing you signs since you were 3 months old, and tonight when I asked you if you wanted more perogies, you clapped your hands. This is very close to the sign for "more" and at first I thought it was a coincidence, however when I asked you again if you wanted more you clapped your hands. At 10 months you are communicating with me what you want! I am much older, and I cant even communicate my wants or needs as clearly!

I know that you wont remember the this time in your life, but I hope that you have felt as complete and as happy as I have. I look forward to watching you grow, and exploring and learning new things with you. Please, just don't grow up to fast!

Happy 10 Months Jonny! I love you very much!


Love Mommy
