These are a few of my favorite things…

There are so many things that I love about you Landon, I could probably just go on and on. You have made my world turn upside down, backwards, forwards, and all around. You’ve made me laugh, you’ve made me cry, and you’ve made me pretty upset at times. You’ve made me worried and happy, proud and  joyful, and even sometimes a little sad. You’ve changed me as a person completely. I am no longer the person that I was before I found out that I was going to have you, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

There are so many things about you that I never want to forget. I get a huge lump in my throat and my eyes tear up just thinking about it. Don’t ask me why I’m so mushy gushy today…. your momma is just emotional tonight. (You’ll learn that about women one day. We’re all a little crazy sometimes!)

So back to the point… here are a few of my favorite things about you Landon.

#1  I love the way you hold me close at the doctor’s office. I love that I make you feel safe.

#2  I love the huge grin that you give me when you notice that I’m there to pick you up at daycare, and then you start crying if I don’t pick you up quick enough. It makes me know that you missed me.

#3  I love that you like having your belly rubbed and it puts you right to sleep. Your daddy figured that one out, and it works every time.

#4  Your laugh. It’s so infectious. It makes my heart happy.

#5  I love when you talk to me on the way to daycare. We have our own baby talk “conversations”.

#6   I love how you always try to figure things out. You like to turn your toys upside down and examine them every which way. I think you’re trying to see how it really works.

#7  I love when you shake your head no at me. It makes me giggle every time.

#8  I love the way that you “dance” when you hear a song you like on your table toy. You sway back and forth. It reminds me of Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder playing the piano.

#9  I love how you always have to have a blanket when you go to sleep. You take the blanket and ball it up all around your little face every time. It’s very sweet.

#10  And last but not least, I love seeing you with your daddy. You two have such an amazing bond. You both look alike, and sometimes even act a lot alike. He loves you so much, and I can tell that you adore him too. You want to be in his arms as soon as he comes home, and you never want him out of your sight. I love the way you look at him. I love my guys.
