3 Already???

My Dearest Baby Boy, Sebastian:


Tonight I had starting planning for your 3rd birthday party {which will be here before I know it}. I am so excited to be having a big birthday bash for you now that you are big enough to understand what a "birthday" is. You are working really hard to show your 3 fingers when we ask how old you will be on your birthday. Your birthday wish list gets bigger each time we go into Wal-Mart.


I can't believe time has flown by so fast. I can't believe you are almost three-years-old. I remember the very first time I saw you. My life was forever changed. You were so tiny & precious - I can't believe how complete my life is, that we were blessed with someone so perfect.

There are so many amazing memories that I hope to share with you one day.


Late nights dancing/singing to "What a Wonderful World" when you were crying with colic. Your chubby little legs & long, long toes. You have always had a distinct, contagious laugh, which has always brightened my day. Your obsession with a little bunny rattler with crinkly ears, which was the only thing that could calm you sometimes to your current obsession with cozy throw blankets. I miss those days of holding & rocking you to sleep. Daddy used to keep warm towels, fresh from the dryer for you after bathtime and the bald baby in the Johnson & Johnson's commercials always brought me to tears. I remember when I went back to work after my maternity leave and how much I cried & felt empy being away from you. It was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do. I miss those nasty little biter biscuits, which you loved so much. You had a love of fruit {papaya, guava & mango} which still exists today. I loved wintertime when I had to bundle you up in those little carriers to get you to daycare. It was & is so amazing to see all the baby milestones that you have reached.

I am amazed at the this incredible little person that you are turning into. I use the word "amazed" a lot, but it is really the best description of my feelings & thoughts of you. Amazed at your vocabulary, amazed at your ideas, amazed at how you view the world. I am always in disbelief that I could have created such an amazing little guy. Everyday holds new excitements and so many memories & adventures. I wish that I could bottle up every single second of your life and keep it with me always.

I hope that this life brings you all that seek out and you get out as much as you put into it. I can't believe that it has already been three years, but it has been the greatest three years of my entire life. I am so excited about all the journeys that lie ahead for us. I will love you forever my dear son. You have & will always be the light of my life.

Love Always,

Mama
