Hey baby boy! You are finally walking! You have been doing it for a week now and you are great at it. I love when babies first learn to walk. I love when they are in the stage you are in, when they still have to think about it and it isn't automatic yet. I love watching you! Every time I see you stand up and walk it takes me by surprise as if you are doing it for the first time and my heart melts. I have some mama guilt that it took you this long to walk. Several months ago you went through a phase when you really wanted to stand up all the time. And I'm sure walking would have followed. But I was busy and overwhelmed so I would help you to sit instead of stand. Eventually you lost interest. And then when I would try to help you stand you just preferred to sit or crawl. Oh the mam guilt! I mean, I know its okay that you didn't walk until you were 14 months old. I don't feel bad about that. But I do feel bad that I didn't respond to your cues and that I let me need to not have the time to help you stand take over precedence over your desire to learn a new skill. Sorry baby. I keep trying and I think we will make it in the end after all.
There are so many things I adore about you. I love your smile. I love it! I love when you snuggle in to my shoulder. I love how you just seem to feel cool when I or daddy carry you around with us where ever we are going. I love how you like to take baths and head straight to the bathtub whenever I ask if you want to take a bath. But I think my favorite thing right now is how awesome you are at welcoming me home. When I open the door I can hear you giggling and I hear the giggles get closer and closer. Its pure joy. As soon as you hear the garage door open you start making your way to the stairs and down to greet me or daddy, whoever has been missing. It makes me so happy every time! I could be stressed or sad or annoyed or whatever but then I hear your giggle coming to greet me and it all surrenders to the love I have for you. Speaking of this, I think you have equal love for me and daddy right now. But when you were smaller that was not the case. You were for daddy all the way. As soon as you would hear the garage door open I would see a look cross your face. And then you would scootch or crawl across the floor to greet daddy. I didn't get the same warm reception. Now I do. And I am so grateful!
I love you with all my heart Teddy boy!!!!
Love,
Mama
