Month 4

Hey buddy,

You sir, are getting cooler and more fun every day. I didn't even know it was possible to be more awesome than you already were. =) Your smile melts my heart and that laugh is contagious.

I miss you so much when we're apart - which, quite frankly - is far too much for my liking.

I can't get over how much you learn every day. You're constantly growing and learning something new. It is so much fun to watch! I can see you becoming more independent. I think you're too big for your own britches too. I can tell you want to do more than you currently can. No hurry, you'll get it and that determination is a great quality to have.

Your current favorite activities are snuggling with me (though you don't sit still for long these days), talking to us, laughing at your Dad being silly, being tickled, bath time, and putting everything in your mouth.

I can't wait to see what this next month brings. 

Love you SO much,

Mama
