You are:
Kicking your legs like crazy. 

Tummy time is fun time. 

Love bathtime!

Smiles and giggles.

Sleeping through the night.

 You have so much personality!

 

 

Wow. You look like such a big boy already! 

You learn so much everyday. You grow so much everyday. 

I am amazed and in awe at everything. 

You love to kick right now and let me tell you - you are all about it! Your legs just don't stop sometimes! I am loving it! I know as soon as you can you will be running around the house!

I go back to work next week and it breaks my heart to know that I am going to miss out on all of these fun times we have been having lately. I love our mommy & me time and I feel like I am going to miss out on these little moments. I know that it isn't really true. I know that we will just have these special moments at other times and I will still cherish them but it still makes me a little sad to know that someone else will get to spend their day with you and I will be missing you at work. 

I will probably....no, I will definitely talk about you non-stop all day at work. My co-workers will get sick of hearing about you. They may have to buy ear plugs. I will have new photos of you every week to show off and I will miss you like crazy but I know that you will be taken care of and when I pick you up you will be so happy to see me. You are only 5 minutes away. I may even sneak and see you on my break. There is no laws against stalking your own baby, right?

You are:

 Smiling a lot. 

Trying to roll over. 

Enjoying bath time.

Deegan,  

These are some of my favorite moments with you. 

I am loving all the little snuggles and cuddles we are having right now. I know that they are not going to last very long. You won't be this little forever. (that makes me a little teary eyed already) You won't need to listen to my heart beating to fall asleep. So, right now I am cherishing these moments. You really love laying on me and are not liking your crib at night. I am afraid I may have spoiled you, but it is so hard not to because you are just so darn cute! It is so hard for me to put you in your crib at night. I know I this isn't going to be good when I go back to work soon. You are going to challenge me, I already know.

My body has become used to operating on only a few hours of sleep each night. You are so worth waking up for every night. You are worth all the dirty diapers and crying fits too. I promise. 

I hope with all of my heart that you know how much I love you.

 

I can not even express in words how much I adore you. You were worth the wait. I would wait all those years all over again for you because you were meant for us sweet boy. You truly make daddy and I so happy.

 

 Last night you tried to roll over. You got halfway and passed out. I was kinda happy. As much as I am excited about you rolling over, it kinda scares me. It means I really can't look away - even for a second.

You are growing up so fast and are so amazing. 

You also know my voice - you look around to find me when you hear my voice and you wake up when you hear daddy come home from work.

 You don't really interact with your puppy siblings yet but don't worry - you will soon. Obi gives you kisses on your toes and Vegas likes to lay on your boppy when you aren't in it. She thinks it is her new bed. One day soon you will have lots of fun playing with Vegas and Obi. I can't wait to see that.

 

I hope you always stay so sweet.

Love, Mommy.

{Playtime with Deegan}

Playtime with Deegan. 

Well, he is definitely starting to smile more. Big smiles, almost like he is about to laugh. I am really loving it! It is just hard to catch on camera! I'm trying to but no luck today! Of course I was able to snap a lot of blank stares and sweet faces, but no big smiles today.

This was my favorite photo of the day....

He is just such a sweet, loveable boy.

We are starting to play more when he is awake during the day. He really enjoyed his play mat today. It's so colorful and fun for him. He was kicking his little legs and moving all around.

Obi just sat and watched him. He is so loving with him and sweet. It makes my heart happy to have little moments like this.

Life is just so sweet right now.
