Wombmates For Life
My dearest Logan & Jonah,
You have turned 7 months today and I could not be more excited! It's been such an adventure watching you boys grow up together. Recently, you both like to grab each other's hair and pull it. Daddy laughs and I do, too, but I also correct you so that hopefully one day you will know right from wrong. But, it WAS pretty funny to watch your eyes light up when you felt the tug. :) Your bottom two teeth are very apparent now and boy, does it hurt when you bite mommy's finger. Jonah, you are more aggressive with things. You like to grab and rip away. For instance, I'll give you a yogurt melt and you'll swipe it from my finger before I've even had the chance to ask you if you want it. It's pretty cute. Logan, you are the mysterious one of the both of you. You know what you're doing and it's so sweet watching you try to get what you want. An example is when you want to be picked up, you give a little wail, but carefully making sure you aren't actually crying. Yes, I check for real tears. :) You both love Mickey and watching him dance around with his friends soothes you. Mommy's been buying you Handy Manny to get you acquainted with both English and Spanish and I've also bought Veggie Tales to teach you about Jesus and how much he loves you both.
Words cannot describe the overwhelming and unrequited love I have for you, my sons. You have grown so much in the past 28 weeks that I sometimes sit and let a few tears fall because time has gone by too fast. Even now, I'm writing this and tearing up a bit looking at your picture on my desk. I love watching you grow up together. We are so very lucky to have each other. Never doubt or forget how much mommy and daddy love you. We are surely the luckiest parents and we thank God each and every morning, noon and night for choosing us to be your parents. While I am eager to see how you boys turn out to be beautiful men of God, I hope time slows a little because I'm not ready to let you grow up.
I'm excited to buy you Christmas presents as this is your first Christmas. I know you are too young to comprehend the season or the reason for it, I don't care. It's the same reason why I talk to you in adult form and not just baby jibberish. I know you can understand me. I know you know what I am saying and thinking. That's how I know you're going to be smart men. I've yet to figure out what I want to dress y'all up as for Halloween. Daddy doesn't dress up, but I do and I can't wait to take you out when you get older for candy. Just remember, anything you get, you share amongst not just each other but me as well. :)
Thank you for giving me the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for being sweet, loving, beautiful little men. And, thank you for letting me be the loving, caring, supporting mommy that I have only dreamed about. May you always look back upon the years as you age and remember how much fun you had together as a family. Because I will never forget it. You remind me everyday just how wonderfully complete my life is. I could have the most stressful day at work, but the minute I come home to hold you and play with you, all that washes away. Everything I do in life I do it with you boys in mind. Remeber to always love each other. No matter how dark the times get or how bad the situation looks, you will always have each other and it's important you learn to love the other's faults as much as the gifts God has so graciously bestowed upon you.
All My Love,
Mommy
