9 in, 9 out - A letter to my baby

My beautiful baby,

You are turning nine months old tomorrow and I can't believe it. It has been 18 months since I began growing you inside me. Since the day I found out I was pregnant I have loved you, and every day my love for you only grows. You are an amazing baby and I feel so lucky to have you in my life.

You are such a happy baby. Your smile and laugh is infectious. You love having your toes tickled, "flying" in the air, being chased, playing peek-a-boo, and watching videos of yourself. You love your alphabet blocks (especially the Q), pushing your baby stroller, and playing with the door stopper.

You also love your books. We read books every day. You like hearing the stories, seeing the pictures, and flipping the pages. Your favorites are Peek a Who? and Brown Bear, Brown Bear but you will go after any book, magazine, or newspaper.

You've become quite a talker recently. You like talking to other babies and when other people around you are talking you like to join in. You use your voice well to get our attention, tell us stories, or sing your little songs. I can't wait to know everything you are saying.

I wish I could freeze time and just play with my sweet nine month old forever. You are at such a precious age where everything is amazing. You have already started cruising and I know once you take your first steps there will be no slowing you down. I hope I never forget days like today where it's just me and you and I have nothing to do but watch you explore.

I hope you don't outgrow being held to sleep or snuggling with me when you wake up in the wee hours of the morning. I hope you always let me sing You Are My Sunshine. I hope you always know how much you are loved and that I would do absolutely anything for you.

You are my sweet pea, my baby bear, my honeybee and I love you so much! Happy nine months!
