I ran out of coffee, but I don't think I need any now. This is what my morning is like.

My dear sun,
How much joy and light you bring into our lives, every single moment. When you wake from sleep, you sit up with a smile (unless you're still hungry, of course) and then you crawl your way either up your sleeping papa, who was napping beside you, or out to find me wherever I am. At just over eight months old, your crawl progressed into the full fledged cross crawl shortly after we moved into our new apartment. With brand new, clean carpets, we would demonstrate for you what to do as well as entice you with the jingling of keys as we patiently waited for you at the end of the hall, or in the bedroom.
Your two, top teeth cut through your gums a little over two weeks ago. During the week before that, you were waking about every half hour through the night but aside from that, teething with you has been easy. Now, you've got the two teeth beside your top teeth making their way down. You are also pulling yourself up to standing and making a symphony of different sounds and noises.
It appears that with your ability to exert more energy, you are sleeping longer blocks during the night. This, however, is still hit and miss and this has been the hardest part about raising you - there isn't a lot of sleep to go around! (Yet.) And, what you're teaching me is that sleep is over rated and that "I'll sleep when I'm dead." Ha!
Your Papa and I are having so much fun witnessing your growth as well as being together as a family unit. Together, we are united in love, focused on our collective and individual intentions and just super content to be in these moments now. We are also excited to watch how all of this affects and effects you as a being.
We adore you now and always.
May you find the strength and wisdom to love yourself throughout your lifetime,
your Mama & Papa
