When you snuggle up against my chest and sleep, oh, you are so soft, so beautiful. You look like an angel. 
And believe it or not, sometimes when you sleep we can sleep too. And your dad, he can sleep a lot. In fact this morning, he slept till 9:30! 
Look at those beautiful hands! 
And, your smiles! We love it when you smile. We love it when you look at us and just start making all those adorable baby noises.
And when you check out your surroundings. Like my old room for example. Can you believe that all three of us fit in it now (even with your uncle Dave's books filling the shelves?) It's a tight squeeze... I only have a tiney tiny drawer now.. and you seem to take up most of the space around here. 
How does a tiney tiny person like you seem to take up all the space? Why is our car packed to the brim when we go to camp for the weekend? Somehow over the last few years I was able to pretty much take a backpack with me everywhere I went... And live out of it for months if necessary. And now somehow that's just not enough. 
And I have never, ever, done as much laundry as now. Probably the fact we are trying to use cloth diapers has something to do with it, and the fact that you and consequently, I, have spit up or pee on my clothes all the time. But, even so, we still love you to pieces. Even though today, I held you almost the entire day. I don't know why you cried constantly through the night and through the day.
Sleeping takes on an entire different meaning. What is sleep anyhow? Do I really need it? (I've found that I can function on surprisingly little sleep these days. Amazing. ) So, what's life going to be like on the road for the next month? You've been an amazing traveler so far, so I do hope that's a picture of what is to come. I hope you are excited to meet all of your family, to go to the beach, to visit the southeast and the midwest. I bet all those people will have just as much fun with you as we do. And maybe, just maybe, you'll hold off on crying for at least an hour.
