to my elliot-
when i held you in my arms for the very first time i was so grateful. grateful you were finally here safely. grateful i was finally looking at your face. grateful the waiting was finally over... when i hold you in my arms now, i am so grateful.
the morning you were born i worried because you didn't cry. you just looked at me, at daddy, and around the room. it was an omen for the future, i think, because here we are at 3 months and you rarely cry. i worried that morning that you weren't crying, but there was no reason to cry, i know that now. you knew us, your mommy and daddy, and there was no room for tears, only so much joy. you are so full of joy, my son. i hope you always are bursting with such joy and radiance.
i think you will. i think you will always be a joyful boy. you see, i began learning about you even before you were born - before i held you in my arms i already knew some things about you, but i couldn't wait to know more. i knew that you got the hiccups a lot! i knew that you loved kicking and stretching your legs. i knew that you loved singing and music, but when i met you - when i saw your face, i knew i was right about so many things.
you are such a happy, joyful baby. you are peaceful and content, and you are constantly taking in the world around you. you are curious and love to learn. you love being held, but you also love having some time alone. i think you are perfect! you have an amazing personality and we love to tell you how handsome you are, but i hope you always know the most important things. we tell you those, too.
i want you to know that you have loved your daddy since the moment you were born. i always say that you are a momma's boy, but secretly, deep down, i think you are already a daddy's boy. it brings my heart so much happiness to see how much you love each other. when you were first born into this big, scary world, gretchen, our midwife took you out of my arms for a few minutes to weigh you and check you from your head to your toes. you got upset and started crying, so daddy ran to you and started talking to you and rubbing you. when you heard his voice you immediately stopped crying and settled down until mommy could hold you again. you knew his voice and it made you feel comforted and loved. your daddy loves you so much, sweet boy. you are the son of his dreams!
you are growing and changing so quickly, it makes my heart a little sad. i am treasuring up memories from every day we spend together. each new thing you do is so fun, and i love watching you learn about the world around you.
i will write more, don't you worry. this is just a start.
