Happy 7 month birthday!

Dear Cedro,

There are many, many things I love about you, but here are some of my favorites.

I love your ability to sleep when the mood strikes you,
whether it be in the car, on the floor, in the high chair
or in a pack on a hike.

I love that you are able to tolerate the many places I drag you
on a daily basis, with a very minimal amount of fussing.


I love the very peaceful way you sleep,
especially when I swaddle you in ridiculous bear blankets.



I love it when your brow furrows when you are thinking about something,
even if it is about something in your diaper.

I love the way that your eyes light up when
you see your dad or hear his voice,
and that your smile radiates through your whole face.

And I love the little sounds that you make,
even when you make them at 4 AM.






I also love your chubby little legs and your big wondering eyes,
your happy baby yoga poses, how your arms
and legs flail about when you are excited,
your nervous pant when you think you'll never eat again,
and how you shove anything within reach right into your mouth.

Happy 7th month birthday, I'm so happy you're here!
Love, Mom
