Most Mom's probably don't count the 1/2 months, but lately I find myself wanting to cherish everyday of Cooper's age. I had forgotten how much I love this age and how I wish I could bottle it and save it forever. Cooper is our last child and we won't be having anymore, so I'm begining to feel a bit of anxiety about how quickly he is growing. I'm not sure if it's that I'm more experienced as a Mom, or if I'm just enjoying Motherhood more the 2nd time around, or maybe it's that he's a very good baby overall... but whatever it is I'm going to miss this stage of his life. By no means is Cooper a perfect child. He still wakes up a couple times a night, he will ONLY breastfeed, which means I have had zero "me" time in almost 10 months and he likes to scream when he doesn't get what he wants. But overall, he has been nothing but joy for me.
Here's a list of just some of the things I LOVE about my Coop....
- I love the way you smile and get so excited when I come in the room to take you out of your crib.
- I love the way you cuddle your stuffed animals and pat them like they are a good "birdie."
- I love the way you crawl away as fast as you can when I catch you putting something in your mouth you shouldn't have.
- I love the way you put your hand in my mouth when I'm feeding you and you look at me with those big brown eyes.
- I love the way you twirl my ring around my finger when I'm feeding you.
- I love how you stand up and hold on to the back of my pants whenever my back is turned to you. Not sure if that's to let me know you're there at all times, or to make sure I'm there at all times :-)
- I love how you crawl all over your brother to wake him up and you love pulling his hair.
- Your laugh melts my heart and there isn't anyone who can make you laugh as much as your brother.
- I love how you love to ride on the 4-wheeler already.
- I love how I am your entire world. There are days where I wish I could escape and go get a pedicure, or have lunch with a friend in peace and quiet, but secretly I love how you need and want me.
- I love how you put your head on my shoulder and give that koi look to people you don't know, yet you'll flash them the most beautiful smile.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU COOPER BAILEY FREDERICK
