today seems an appropriate day to write you a letter. you have now been on the outside as long as you were on the inside. and my, what accomplishments you have made in that time. you smile, you laugh, you crawl, you pull yourself up on furniture (i expect you will be cruising soon), you eat food- and lots of it, you say mama, you love the bath, you love blue, you LOVE your sister, you squirm in bed, you eat everything you find on the floor, you are a flirt, and you hate cutting teeth.
we are amazed by how quickly all of this happens. while the summer has felt a little long with me not feeling my best, it really has been such a short time since you joined our family. you should know how much you are loved and adored and how much joy you bring to our family. in so many ways it feels like you complete us. like you were a missing link.
you are my sweet sweet boy and i am grateful to you for having chosen me as your mama. i promise to be the best mama i can be, and sometimes that may not be so great but i am human and i have faults and i am sure you will soon know them all too well. in spite of these faults, i promise to be there for you, to love you, to respect you, to care for you, to listen to you, to help you when you need help and above all to let you be you.
te amo mateo.
mi corazon,
mama

My heart is just melting with all the new pictures and blogs. So good to see the punkin pics--they are changing so fast. Bittersweetly for me, as I'm missing out on the day to day! Can't wait to see you all again.
