Letter to my Son

My dear Christopher,

One month already? Hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. It truly vanishes right before your eyes. So Christopher how big are you? 8lb 9oz (they said 8lb 15oz but you had a pretty full diaper so I'm going to fudge a bit) & 21 inches.

Things you are doing: You are just starting to look and really "see" faces. You have the most inquisitive look on your face when you stare at Daddy and the girls. Mom you hang out with a lot so I tend to either get the happy (I've been wanting you to hold me mom) face or the sad (why didn't you pick me up sooner) face.

You still sleep quite well most nights. The last few days you have had a lot of trouble sleeping because your nose gets stuffed up and you can't breathe. You and the little boogie sucker are not friends right now, he makes you quite upset. You refuse to sleep in the pink bouncy chair for more then an hour at a time and prefer to snuggle up next to mom or force me to lay on my back so that you can lay on top of my chest. Perhaps you just don't like the color pink? (lol)

We started you on cloth diapers and you are doing great with them! You like to be changed a little sooner because the cloth 'feels' wet unlike disposable diapers. Does this mean you will want to potty train sooner? Believe me your dad and I won't mind in the least if you do!

Your sisters love to hold you and kiss you... in fact it's hard to keep them from kissing you constantly. You put up with things really well, as it is good you do. My dearest little buddy those sisters will be after you for the rest of your life, it is better now to accept it and join their ranks. I promise I won't let them force you to play Barbies all the time (though you will need to play occasionally) and I'll make sure they play matchbox cars or tractors with you.

Always know how much your father and I love you. We thank God for all of the beautiful children he has allowed into our lives. May you grow up to be a strong man of character and love for the Lord.

Love,
Mom

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
