| YES, we are! |
Our son,
You've got the army crawl down pat. Scooting around on your elbows and toes, you can become frustrated at your inability to manifest your desire to move quickly. It's coming, all too soon if you ask me. In fact, just the other day, you pulled yourself up to standing at the foot of the bed while I was getting ready in the bathroom. Apparently, I skipped crawling altogether and got right to walking. Of course, your uncle, Dr. Paul, would prefer that you crawl first, walk later. We shall see what life brings.
With each new season, a layer of you unfolds. From the get go, you've been a happy, easy and sweet baby (except for when you had to uncomfortably deal with all of the gas, that I - your mother - more than likely passed on to you.) And, more recently, you've really come into sharing your smile, giggles and silliness with others outside of the safe bubble of your father and I. It's a delight to witness your unfolding, as well as a profound privilege.
You now have two bottom teeth that have broken through - even teething with you is relatively relaxed. Soon after your delivery, you had a very prominent birth mark announce itself. Now, it looks like you may have two more markings. I wonder what these mean - if anything at all - about your past lives or about your future self. I am so curious to know the man you will bee who may, one day, find these writings by his mother of old. I can not know now what the world will bee like then. I pray and intend for a specific ideal, even as I'm aware of the great tide that the current (catastrophic) vision has us swept up within. We shall see what life brings...
Regardless of what life brings however, what I know now is what will always be and that is how much I treasure gazing at your beautiful self as you suckle from my breast. You are, in all ways, perfect - you always will be, even as you bound and bounce through this life. Know this, my son. Trust yourself & your deep, inner knowing.
Find strength in your soul, peace in our shared humanity and wisdom in harmony.
Know that I, that we, Love You. Most importantly, however, know that you are LOVE itself.
