Love Letter

It's been a while since I've written a love sick letter to Barclay on here. Not that I haven't felt them or written them in his baby journal. It's just spilling over today...

Little one,

What joy you bring to me every single day! In the past week I have watched you transform before my eyes into a toddler. You're so different, yet I love you just as much.

Part of me is mourning the loss of my snuggly baby. I miss when you sat still. When your body would just curve with mine. I miss laying next to you and hearing you sigh. I really really really miss nursing you. I miss those sweet moments.

But I am rejoicing in the new things. I'm loving seeing you discover the world one little exciting thing at a time. You dance constantly. You joke with me. I love your little voice. I love holding your hand and walking around. You are such a blessing and fill my heart with such love, pride, and joy.

It was just last year we were waiting for you very impatiently. We just couldn't even imagine what you'd be like. You were worth the wait, worth the pain, worth the sleepless nights. You were worth everything.

Every night I wonder how I could possibly love you anymore, and each new day...I do.

I love you!

Mommy

PS- Please stop biting my big toes...thanks.
