A different kind of love

     As our beautiful baby boy is nearing his first 4 months of life, I am sitting here watching him sleep. He looks so peaceful and content and I have this overwhelming feeling of love. The kind of love I have never felt before. I love every member of my family very much, but this is different. I love holding him, I love stroking his sweet little face, holding his tiny hand and looking into his bright eyes. I would do anything for him and I would lay my life for him.
     What I want to do for him most, is to be the best mother I can be. I want him to grow up knowing how much his dad and I love him and how excited we were to welcome him to our family. Eli is such a sweet boy, always happy and very social. His smile and giggles melt my heart and I just want to hold him tight. When Brian has to leave, he misses him and asks for consant picture updates.
      It is incredible how quickly he is growing, he is becoming so strong and playful, he touches my face when he wakes up next to me in the morning and it feels like nothing else matters at the moment.
     
     So to end my nightly ramble, I want you Eli to know that every day we have you in our lives, I tell myself how lucky I am to be a mom to such an amazing boy.  I love you with all of my heart and I love your dad with all of my heart as well. You two are my boys and with you, everything is okay.

I love you. Mom
