Sweet precious Bo Baby,
We call you Bo Bo.
Your most comfortable spot is on my chest.
Sometimes I feel like we are glued together.
You are a big talker. You just coo and coo.
Sometimes when you're talking you make this really high pitch noise,
that I can only describe as delight.
It makes my heart leap.
Your smile makes my heart feel like it will burst.
You love it when I kiss your hand and then put your hand to your own mouth.
I say, "I kiss it, now you kiss it."
Makes you smile every time.
Sometimes, I show you my tongue and say,
"There's my tongue. Now where's your tongue?"
I swear you stick out your tongue for me.
You don't stick it out far, but it's there.
You understand me.
It is obvious that you already adore your big sister.
You are making new connections with your daddy and light up when he talks to you.
So far, you are easily satisfied.
Your cries indicate that you are hungry, need burping, are overly tired, or that you want to sit up.
You have strong opinions about your position.
You are constantly trying to sit upright. You lift your little head and grunt.
If you're lying flat and crying, I sit you upright.
The crying stops immediately.
It's like I hit the switch.
You still snort when you are hungry or when you are really upset.
I love it.
I've been secretly hoping you do it forever.
When a loud noise scares you, you make the most pitiful frowny face before you start to cry.
I am ashamed to say I love it, but I do.
I don't love it when you are afraid, but I love that frowny face.
With a little love, you quickly recover.
Sometimes your little face itches and you rub it into my chest.
Back and forth, back and forth.
You're like a little puppy, but better.
In the morning you raise your little arms above your head
and wad your little legs up and you streeeetch.
I love to watch you stretch.
And you call the shots.
That's a wrap.

I love this post. It's like a little letter to her. Beautiful. I hope she reads it one day. I'm sure it will make her feel special the same way she makes you feel so special. She is so pretty! I mean, PERFECT looking! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like I can understand what motherhood must be like through this post. It makes me maybe want to try it one day. :)
This is the sweetest. I'm so glad you document the moments in the loving way that you do. You have a way of spilling your heart on paper. I regret not doing that with you and Sunny so you could know how much I loved you then and still. You should read this to Bo today.
