Easter 2007
The Easter Bunny found us! You got your first hockey stick and Maggie hasn't stopped playing with it yet. She surprised us all by volunteering to share all her eggs with you. We're sure this won't last... Daddy and I have been eating them for you. They were good...thanks!
It's been 3 mths since our last post so I'm not sure where to start. You've been crawling "combat style" for some time now and just today you took your first real "step" towards crawling up on all fours. As I write this on April 15th, you are two days away from being exactly 9mths old. You can say Dada and Nana and last week you said Mama for the first time, of course, not yet realizing the significance of these words. You are eating yogurt now and some well blended or soft grown up food like carrots and pears. You are also drinking out of a sippy cup, albeit, not very efficiently yet but it's certainly a step in the right direction. I say the "right direction" but I struggle with these little milestones since it means you soon won't be my baby boy anymore (well, in a sense you will always be my baby boy but I think you get the point). Oh, I almost forgot, the biggest news of all is that you are now sleeping 11-12 hours straight though the night. Mommy feels like a new woman! Nanny and Papa took your sister for a few nights when you were about 7 mths old and instead of rescuing you at your 5 am awakening, I went to your bed and merely rubbed your back until you settled down. I had to do this for 2 hrs the first night, 1 hr the second and you slept through on the third. Hooray to the "Baby Whisper", Mom's Baby Bible! I'm sure you would have slept through the night earlier if I had simply applied the Baby Whisper philosphy earlier in your short life as I had with your sister, but having another child in the house who would often wake up to you crying was difficult. Why is it that this is not written about in the baby books? Hmmm....a book idea for Mommy.
Maggie continues to adore you. Whenever she's been out without you and returns home, she always immediately asks to see you and hold you. Sometime she does this just in order to steal your soother but other times I think she's sincere it wanting to be with you. LOL :) She helps me with you more and more every day. She says "Mom, Sammy has stinky bum" and "Sammy crying Mom" and "Sammy stuck Mom" (when you are in your walker and can't get turned around). And at night when I say "Night Maggie, I love you sweetie" she ALWAYS replies, "I love you too Mama....and Sammy too." It warms my heart every single time.
I look at you now and can't help wondering what you'll say in two years time or even in one year that will melt my heart and make me smile. Today before you can speak, I simply have to look at your beautiful smile and your sparkling eyes. Your Daddy & I love you more with each passing day.
Love, Mom
