Dear Hudson,

6 months ago we met for the first time.

you pulled at my heart strings instantly, and i fell in love. again.

your dad and i both realized you were what was missing.

you completed the puzzle, you filled the hole, you were the answer to my prayers.

we had both known you were waiting, for awhile.

yet, you came when it was right.

 we adore your personality. you are curious, with little hesitation.

you are independent and get frustrated when you can't accomplish something.

you are trying to crawl and then you forget.

you yell and try again.

 you are silly. 

you drool, a lot.

you cut your first tooth last week.

it wasn't the greatest experience, for either of us.

though, you smiled your way through the pain.

 i love you.

i love your nose and the crease that is still visible when your concentrating.

 your smile is contagious.

your giggle is the best.

 you have my lips.

and your daddy's under bite.

our first baby that looks like a Meyers

with hints of Wall and Gaffney blue eyes.

i love the way you "need my neck"

to hide in when tired.

unless my hair is wet, then you hate it.

i love your smell.

especially at 4 am when its just us.

your warm breath and skin snuggled into mine.

that is our time.

your are 6 months old today and growing up too fast.

i am not ready for it.

both your dad and i cried when we felt that tooth.

stay little, please.

we adore you, all of us.

thank you for letting me be your mom.

thank you for being my baby.

thank you for being a good brother.

i can't wait to watch you grow, learn, and play with your siblings.

until then, just be mine.

all chubby 21 lbs of you.

we love you baby boy, happy 6 months.

love, mom
