Happy New Baby

It’s been the best 8 weeks of my entire life. Simply because...

I love watching Jaxson sleep
I love watching him wake up
I love watching him do just about anything. Cry, move, smile, laugh, blink, sneeze, squint, cough, flail, etc.
I love waking up to feed him in the middle of the night
I love his baby smell
I love giving him baths
I love feeding him (he always laughs when he is finished eating. SO cute. and its the only time he laughs, so i’m the only one whose seen it.)
I love holding him
I love changing him (he use to cry, but now he smiles)
I love that I know him more then anyone
I love that Landon calms him down better then me
I love that Landon loves him
I love that I love Landon more because of him
I love his cute face
I love his fat tummy
I love his cubby cheek
I love his cooing
I love that our families love him
I love watching him learn and explore with his eyes
I love watching him grow (12 pounds 7 oz)
I love that he can sleep from 6:45pm-5:00am straight (emphasis on can. he has only done that once :)
I love that he hates a dirty diaper
I love that he loves walks
I love that every day when I read him the scriptures... he falls asleep. Baha
I love that one day he will be the oldest instead of the youngest and he will be a leader
I love that he is pure
I love that he is without sin
I love that I learn from him everyday
I love that I will be able to watch him grow for the rest of his life
I love that I’m a mother, and I’m his mother... for the rest of eternity!!!!!
I love that Jaxson is HERE and that Heavenly Father is allowing me to raise His son!!! I’ve truly never been happier. Ever. Ever. Ever. :)!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New BABY!!!!
