Five weeks ago today, you joined our family and made us feel complete. We fell in love with you immediately, and that love has grown stronger and stronger every day. I will always remember the first time that I held you and cuddled with you. You are an amazing little boy. We can already tell that you are going to be big and strong, cuddly and curious. You're growing every day, and you are trying so hard to hold your head up. Sometimes you hold it up for a long time, but it's still a little wobbly - that's fine with us, we don't want you to grow up too fast. Your favorite place to sleep is on my chest, all curled up and warm. I think you listen to my heartbeat and it makes you feel at home again. Other people's chests are okay too - daddy likes to take naps with you on his chest. Grandpa likes to spoil you by walking you all over the house - he's definitely one of your favorite people. You know Grammy's voice already, and you always seem more peaceful when she's around. There are so many people who love you so much, and as you grow up, you will always, always feel that love.
Sometimes I think you smile at me. It might just be gas, but I don't think so, because you look me right in the eye and get this adorable grin on your face. I can't wait to hear your giggle, and see your face light up when I walk in the room. But don't rush, we don't want you to grow up too fast.
You love to look around you and see all the new things. Your favorite things are ceiling fans and light fixtures. Grammy and Aunt Teresa are going to buy you a mobile, because they know how much you love to look up. I'm so glad you're curious, because that means you're going to be an adventurer. I hope you are always willing to try new things and not be afraid. I hope that you learn to be generous and loving and thoughtful, and I will do everything I can to teach you those things. You make me better at those things. I hope you know that you are loved, and your mommy and daddy would do anything for you.
Here's a picture of you at 5 weeks old. You are my little boy, and you always will be, no matter how big you get.
I love you Mason, so much.
Love,
Mommy
