A Trip Down Memory Lane...

Today my baby boy turns 18mths (1.5)...

As I downloaded these pictures I couldn't help but cry... where did my baby go? HOW could it be SO long already????? How can he be SO close to 2 already????

I must say... I am the proudest Mama.... he has been such a joy. I feel honored that God chose me to be his Mama.... my God... what wonderful memories I have of him... from being this tiny baby to this toddler with a mind of his own already.

To My Baby Boy,

Tears fill up my eyes just thinking about you and how you touched my life. You are Mama's proud and joy. It takes my breath away just thinking about you and trying to put into words what I feel for you is impossible.

Today you woke up extra cuddly. You just randomly come up to me and give me kisses and hugs melting my heart in to pieces every time. I LOVE LOVE how you ALWAYS want to feel me close to you no matter where or what you're doing. I've noticed how even though you are playing or entertained with "your show" you'll look up for a moment just to make sure I'm there with you or in eye's view. It helps my heart not to hurt as I see you grow because I know deep down that no matter how big you get you will ALWAYS be Mama's baby boy.

As I sit here typing this you are wiping the tears off my cheeks and giving me this big cheese smile like saying... "Mama, don't worry... everything is going to be ok". How lucky am I to have you? Not one day goes by that I don't thank God for giving me you.

Baby, Mommy loves you so much. I will always remember what you did for me... You made me a Mama... that's the BEST gift you could have ever given me. You still have no idea how you have touched my life and how much you have changed it for the better.

You do drive me crazy sometimes but I wouldn't trade you in for nothing in the world. Thank you for the million times a day you make me smile and laugh. Thank you for always just "knowing" when Mama can use a hug and/or a kiss. Thank you for showing Mama the BEST love that could ever exist!!!!

Happy 18mths Baby Boy!!!

Love, Mama

Wow Jen, that's a great post. I felt like I, too, was walking down memory lane with you. He is such a big boy, and you are so blessed....most importantly, he is blessed to have a great mommy who is so proud! I love the pic of the babies on the pillow smiling, how precious!
