My dear baby, you are growing so fast! I can't keep up with how fast you're changing and how quickly you are learning new things. It truly is astonishing! You love shaking your head no and have mastered the art of clapping your hands. You're so proud of yourself! We're working on "bye-bye" and you work so hard to mimic the movements of my hand. And I was JUST saying that I'm going to be hand feeding you forever and then tonight you decided to eat pasta all on your own.
Your daddy has been so busy working nights lately and tonight was one of our first family nights together in what felt like forever. As you crawled over and clung to my leg (as per usual) he just couldn't help himself from exclaiming "Nolan, I love you!" It melted my heart. You are so loved, child, and I always wonder if you can feel it. Do you understand how you've changed our hearts and how I feel so complete now?
It's the holiday season, and you will learn that I am a bah-humbug. The holidays are so over-hyped and too stressful. I love the spontaneity and no obligations that come with the other seasons, but I am a bit excited to document your first Christmas. You won't care about the toys that we got you and you won't remember the lit-up Christmas tree, but I do hope that we set the tradition of a holiday filled with minimal gifts and lots of quality family time. That despite my grinch ways you'll learn to love our family traditions during this time of the year.
I really could talk about you forever, my sweet man, but since you're STILL NOT SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT I'm signing off for some rest and relaxation.
Nolan, I love you!
Love,
Mommy
