this is me.

My Baby Judah,

You are 5-months old now.  I do not know where the last weeks and months have gone.  You have changed so much, in every way.

I never knew how much I would love you and how fulfilling my new role as your mother would be.  You have changed our lives in every aspect.  We've spent countless nights staring at you as you sleep and daily we say "isn't he so cute?!" or going "awwww" over and over again.  

It melts my heart every time you smile at me and I just want to bottle your joy as you squeal with happiness or your little laughter fills our home.

You are so strong now.  You just started rolling over a few days ago, and suddenly do it like an expert.  Getting back is still a struggle, but you try.  You laugh at funny noises, silly faces, being bounced... pretty much anything.  You just started squealing this past Sunday, having found your baby voice, and look so proud as you open your mouth wide and a loud, high-pitched noise comes out.  You have just started frustratedly grunting when things are a struggle or you've had enough.  

Its amazing to see your little personality already.  You are so content and relaxed, happy to just be around people who love you.  You are quite quiet most of the time, peacefully watching the world going on around you.  And other times, driving in the car and in your crib and in the mornings, cuddled between daddy and I, you treat us to a babbling baby show.  It never ceases to make us smile.


You are a complete water baby and love the tub, the pool, a sink, a pot of water.  You kick furiously and just started realizing you can splash.  You even fell asleep this week at the pool, exhausted but having too much fun to complain.

You are such a wonderful little baby and these moments with you, daily, are changing me for the better and giving my life new meaning.

Love Your Mom
