A Letter to Jayce: Two Months

Jayce, Little Man,

You are currently sleeping in my arms, milk drunk. This past month has brought so many precious moments and firsts that I don't even know where to begin. 

You had your first trip to the ranch...and it was hard work learning how to sleep in a new place. 

You went to your first high school graduation....

and proceeded to have your first major blowout...on me and my dress. (Notice I'm now wearing a sweater - with a new dress you can't see - and you're wearing a new outfit too.)

You started to make new faces when we talk to you. 

You had your first tummy time that wasn't on someone's chest. 

You got to watch your first NBA finals game. Daddy & I can't wait for you to love sports like us. 

You made your first friend. 

You went to big church for the first time. (Yay for a cry room!)

 

You got to meet a loved great-grandma. 

And for your two month birthday, you had your first shots. 

But the biggest change of all this month...

I fell in love with you over and over again. 

I fell so in love this month that this sight

made me cry crocodile tears. You are growing up so fast. I'm torn between two things: wanting to watch you grow and learn OR wanting you to stay this cute and innocent baby. 

My love for you is endless. 

You are making my heart grow. 

I am starting to understand God's endless love for me. 

You are helping me learn patience, a lesson I've been struggling with my whole life. 

You are helping me lean harder on God for the big and little, something I've been trying to do for years. 

You have become my whole world. 

And I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Love, Mommy
