A Letter to Rowan…

Dear Sweet Baby:
It has been 3 months since we first got to hold you in our arms. I never could have imagined how much you would change us in such a short amount of time. In an instance your life is suddenly completely about someone else other than yourself. That someone else was you and Mommy and Daddy couldn’t be happier. You have made us better in so many ways. You have made our love for each other stronger and more meaningful and you have made our hearts grow like a millions times bigger. I sometimes think, how can I express in words the love I have for you and I always fall short coming up with an answer. You have so much life in your big beautiful eyes. Your smile takes over your entire face and although you haven’t laughed yet (just a tiny little giggle a few times) its my daily mission to be as ridiculous and silly as I can to try to make you laugh. We have made up hundreds of silly songs for you, usually based on the things we do throughout the day. We have all kinds of like nicknames for you, some just as simple as sweet baby, but you are our lil’ cheetah (that one is our favorite). Your new thing is holding your hands- you do it all the time. Your hands are always folded together, usually in your mouth but still they are together. I am telling everyone its going to be your party trick. You love chewing on your hands, wrist, arms or well anything that brushes by your mouth. You have been getting the rosiest little cheeks. It’s so darn cute. You already have the most adorable chubby cheeks but when they are all rosy, my heart just melts. We have to put lotion on them because they are actually chapped from the freezing weather, but they are still so cute. Rowan you are our greatest Joy in life. You make things make sense, you put our lives in perspective and you help us daily count our blessings. We have so much to be thankful for.
With all my love,
Momma

    She is quite the doll baby! Just curious if you’re still nursing at all or if you’ve switched to formula completely?

    The party trick part cracked me up! I showed Rowan’s photos to my dad, who waxes nostalgic over the times when me and my two older sisters were babies allll the time. He was overcome with the cuteness.

    This is great word eye candy and your little one is adorable but…

    The fact that you’re posting this sweet, personal letter to your child on the world wide web makes it much less sweet and much less personal. Don’t get me wrong, I will read this stuff all day and enjoy it, but that’s actually my point: I am an anonymous stranger. Why do you want me reading your personal private touching family moments?

    If the answer is to make money to support your family, then I totally understand. I am an American Capitalist as well. But if this blog isn’t making money, then…..??????

    Sorry, I just stumbled upon the “Best Baby Blogs” and they all have me (a hip married mother in Los Angeles) shaking my head in confusion.

    I don’t understand the Baby Voyeurism Movement. Please explain!!!!
