Best Gift Ever!

Dear Greyson,

This morning you gave me the best gift ever. Quite a few of them actually. You were playing around and all of a sudden walked over to where I was sitting, leaned over and planted a big wet kiss on my lips. You looked up at me, then Dada and then did it again! You did it probably 4-5 times. It totally made my day! When we were over at Aunt Libby and Uncle Jason's you did it to me one more time through the slats in the baby gate, you on one side and me on the other. I love your kisses! I don't get them very often but this morning you were full of them. I'll take them when I can get them!

The rest of the day you were very grumpy. I'm not sure if it's because of your teeth or if you aren't feeling good due to the milk, or what. But it made for a pretty long day. Your naps were pretty messed up, you got up early, and every thing made you upset. When it was bedtime, you pretty much passed out right away, which is why I had to take a picture of you! You are sleeping in that picture in the same position I laid you down. That never happens. Just goes to show you exhausted you were.

Last night we went for a walk. We walked from our house to the city park and around the loop. It was really nice out and you were so good! You sat in your stroller and just enjoyed the ride. Mama and Dada took turns pushing you and talked pretty much the entire time. I love our little family.

I was thinking today about how lucky you and I are to have Dada. He is the best. He is my best friend and I love being able to talk to him about everything. I hope that one day you are able to talk to his as openly and freely as I do. He is full of great advice and knows so much about lots of different things. He is always teaching me something new, whether I want to learn it or not. He is so helpful and I really don't know where he gets his energy from. We are so lucky to have him. He helps with diapers and feedings and never complains. He puts up with my double standards when it comes to what you can eat, ok, he complains about that but he does it anyways. And ever since you were born, he has taken turns with me getting up with you at night. Even though you sleep really well at night, we still switch sides in the bed, just in case. We are the definition of team when it comes to taking care of you. I don't know how in the world we got so lucky, but we did and I am so grateful for him. You are, too! I can tell by the way you look at him.

I love you buddy, forever and longer!

Love, Mama
