A letter
Found this in the drafts - publishing it now:)
Hey there lil soldier!
After you were born,I never wrote a single letter to you.I did have the urge to,many many times,but never did.So finally,today as you you sleep peacefully in your cot,hugging your blankie tight,I am going to try my best to spill out all those overflowing emotions and love and find the right words to do that.
I think I would mentioned a gazillion times as to how much you have changed our lives forever,I think you will be hearing that pretty much a lot.Dad and I still think it all like a dream,a very very beautiful dream,especially when you lay between us on our bed,yapping away to glory or as you sit quietly on my lap as we drive,sometimes listening to what dad and I speak or sometimes answering back,with a lot of BAAAAAAAAAAA'S.It is at moments like these,that your dad and I share a quick smile and WONDER.Wonder in pure awe.
You were a blessed child from the moment you were born.You never fussed or cried unnecessarily(except in the hospital,you hated the hospital,dont worry,mommy HATED it too).You slipped into sleep routines,and feeding schedules as though you were already trained to do so.You gave mommy so much of time to recuperate,you showed me how much you love me too by doing so.
I have been speaking to you right from the day we went back home.Some people thought I was mad to talk to a new born baby.But I just knew you were listening.I used to tell you about how tired I am,and you would nap an extra hour that day and I would catch up on sleep.I was so convinced you heard me.However the side effects of me talking to you from day one,well,you pretty much started talking back and that too real soon.I loved it.When you were 2 months old you used to keep saying something.Every morning Dad and I used to wake up waiting to hear your voice.We would pick you up from your cradle and listen to you as you cooed to us,melting in your love.
You are 8 months old now,but you have already come a long long way for your mommy.You can get around,you pull yourself up and stand,you cruise,you say mama and appa discriminately,you clap,you play ball,you love us and we know that too.We are so proud of you already,not for the things you do,but for who you are.
The other day,mommy was sick and I was wincing in pain,you actually stopped playing turned around and watched me intently.I thought you were almost going to cry,when I promised you mommy's ok,then you smiled.A half hearted smile.Moments like these are heart wrenching,id feel like I would almost EXPLODE with love.
You are a sensitive lil baby,you always smile at everyone,you never want to hurt anyone by not going to them.You try to spread a lot of cheer and love already,makes my heart swell.Everyone who sees you,says you are such A HAPPY BABY.You are never going to remember the first few years of your life, where dad and I are trying to build a foundation filled with love and happiness for you.But when I hear people say what a happy baby you are,I know we are on the right track.
I just LOVE putting you to sleep.WHen you are really sleepy,and i rock you to sleep,there have been moments when you suddenly look at me like 'hey mom,wasnt today fun',and you smile a wicked grin,and then you giggle(I swear you do!).I really dont know why you do it,but you do.The first time you did this,you were about 6 months old,now,we do it almost every other night.we just giggle,aimlessly and the joy I experioence,oh I cant even explain.
You have an amazing sense of humor,you are very independent,you figure your way out,You are non fussy,and you are such an outdoor person.You love to eat new food,you love it when we 'comb' your hair.You love to have your ears cleaned(it almost put you to sleep one afternoon),you are crazy about 'doggies' and 'birdies',you love older children,you love people,you love spicy food(already!)I could never get this to end,I could just go on on about you.
Its amazing to remember that God picked us out for each other.To help each other grow and live spreading joy and happiness.Dad and I will strive to do just that,always.
We love you Yaddie,and that can never change.
