Be Still My Heart

My Sweet Baby Cole

You are changing daily and to see you growing up so quickly

is exciting and a bit overwhelming to me.

You my love are Crazy! 

You keep me on my toes all day everyday.

You started doing this face that melts my heart.

You scrunch up you eyes and smile with the biggest 

grin EVER. You do this because it never fails.

I laugh every time. Oh my sweet baby 

you make my heart smile.

You like to do big boy things now. In fact, I think you 

pretty much have convinced yourself that you are as old 

as your brothers. If they can do it, you can do it {or so you think}.

And like all big boys do, you have a mind of your own. You favorite

thing is to play football with your brothers.

You have become obsessed with dogs and birds. You exude JOY every time

you see them. You will stop everything and just watch. I wish I knew what

was going on in that little mind. It's something special because your grin says it all.

Sweet baby you will stand by that window and wait and watch for a

little bird to come over. It is simply priceless.

You still drink a bottle {a lot}. 

I know you are not supposed to and I even maybe told a fib to your 

pediatrician and said you really don't drink a bottle anymore.

That's okay, right buddy? You love it.

 You snuggle up on me and lean your sweet little head back 

and drink your bottle. I know these times are short and few so I am soaking up

every snuggle time I squeeze in with you.

 

 You LOVE brushing your teeth. 

You always want to do it by yourself

while your brothers are brushing theirs. You look so proud of yourself.

My sweet boy I am so proud of you. You are growing out of your 

baby stage and moving full force into a

toddler.

 Sometimes when I am home with you, 

I just sit back and I watch you.

 I try to get into that little head of yours and 

see the world through your eyes. 

And in these moments,

 I realize there is so much I can learn

 from you my sweet boy.

You see this world through pure eyes. 

You see me, your very imperfect mom, as perfect.

You still only want me. You follow me everywhere. You cry every time I leave.

You warm my heart and make me feel so needed and loved.

You teach me to love with all that I am. You teach me to

take chances and not worry about falling. If I fall then I get back up. Just like you do. 

Thank you my growing little boy for showing me more of the beauty of Jesus by simply 

being you. I am so thankful to be your mommy.
