I'm in love and always will be...

1. The months have flown by!
   
2. Your eyebrows - a couple of days after you were born and we got you home, I could count the number of hairs in them. Now they have formed so well.
3. Your ears - the day you were born they were flat towards the outside - in a few days (by a week for sure) they were well rounded and curved.
   
4. Your eyes - they opened a little more than a slit when you were born and now they give meaning to the expression - 'smiling with his eyes'. They light up when you smile. And that my baby lights up my life.
5. Your fingers - so so tiny were they! They still are, but a lot more sturdy. They can now pull my hair right out if its roots. They can grab grandma's glasses, grip cables,hold toys, clap. Your fists were closed so tight when you were born, now they open up and clap on their own. I noticed the fine little hair (I counted 5 follicles) on your ring finger. Now i can see the fine hair on your forearm. You will grow up to be a hairy guy!
   
6. Your legs and toes tiny and pink - they kick so strongly now.
7. Your back is sinewy and strong - your body turns with such vigour and at all angles.
8. Your voice - shrill and strong - you can now scream loud enough for the street to hear. And the sounds are so many.
   
9. From my milk to solids you have graduated - I am no longer your sole meal ticket.
   
10. You outgrew your hand me down bodysuits though your teeny little body can still wear shorts meant for 3-6 month olds!
    
11. From swimming on the floor, you are now in swimming class. You even got a sticker for being able to float on your back and kick.
12. I love how there are times when I can soothe you and sing you to sleep.
13. How I know when you are troubled and when you are sleepy.
14. I love the mornings when you wake me up by cooing and saying good morning as 'aaaaaannn'.
15. I love playing with you on the floor rolling generally goofing around.
    
16. I love making you laugh silly.
17. I love everything about you. You are my love, my valentine!

PS - Dearest DT, you more than anyone know how this is on a totally different plane. But again, you are the love of my life!
