Crawling
Dear Noah
We are waiting with bated breath for the moment you move forward on your own. So far you get on to all fours and then to afraid to go forward but knowing how to get back to sitting you cry out for me or face plant the floor.
Part of me looks forward to seeing you progress and grow and hit those developmental milestones the other part of me wants things to stay just as they are. You needing me, relying on me and content in my company.
You dont seem to interested in crawling tho. You are pulling yourself up in anything you can get a secure grip on. Daddy even walked you over to me holding your hands. You were very wobbly but oh so proud of yourself. Maybe you will skip crawling and just walk.
Today you and I were playing taking socks on and off your feet as you lay in my arms before your nap. I would scoot them over your heel and you would pull them off to your delight. Then I would put them back on and we would repeat the process. I noticed that you then tried to put them back on your own feet too. It was more you just placing them on your foot while it dangled in the air and not quite letting go of the sock so it looked like you were rubbing the sock up and down your foot. I loved it. loved watching you trying new things and seeing you make connections every day.
At the moment you are also smacking your lips and we copy each other for about 5 mins.
Oh noah my days are filled with moments of sheer joy being with you.
I love you so much
your loving mother always

My Happy Boy
Dear Noah
No matter how down I feel you always put a smile on my face. You are such a happy boy.
I feel blessed to have you in my life. You are always smiling or laughing. At the moment you have this fake laugh that you do. We copy you and it goes back and forth between us.
Im watching you as I write this, you are trying to climb the sofa and crawl. Everytime I turn and look at you, you smile and laugh.
You also have this super cute thing you do with dad. When he calls you and smiles at you, you get all coy, laugh and bury your head in my shoulder. Its too sweet. Only dad gets that reaction from you.
Your 8ms now!! wow where does the time go.
Your calling to me and its almost time for a nap.
Your loving mother always.

Fart Noises
Dear Noah
One of the sweetest things you do right now is laugh out loud. You do it manly for daddy when he blows raspberries on your stomach or feet. Its the most adorable thing to watch.
But you laugh for me when I do fart noises with my mouth. It cracks me up.
You are such a delight. Even on our most down days, when mummy and daddy are overwhelmed with life's anxieties you are the light in our life. Your smiles and the love that flows out of you, makes everything ok.
We love you more than you can ever comprehend
Your loving mother always X

Drawing Closer to Jehovah
Dear Noah
You are helping me draw closer to Jehovah. Not just because as your parent I want to be a good example and therefore am working harder to strengthen my relationship with Jehovah, but because I now better understand how he feels about me.
The love I have for you is different than any love I have felt before. I understand when parents say they would do ANYTHING for their children.
Jehovah's love for us is often compared to the love a mother has for her children. Only now do I understand what that really means. How he really feels about me. I have always struggled with understanding that he values and loves me. I knew it, but never understood it. I know that Jehovah is forgiving and puts our sins as far off as the sunset. I know that he wants to protect us and feels hurt for us when we stumble and fall. But now I feel what that must be like. Granted this will even more meaning as I gain more experience as a parent.
There have been few times my son has gotten so upset and over tired that he has thrown a tantrum and I have felt like giving him a smack bottom. But as soon as he stops and looks up and me, I can see he just doesn't know what else to do and he looks to me for comfort and answers. My heart swells with love, just pure love, it pours out, the desire to comfort, to help and to teach him how to deal with his emotions. Any thought of disciplining you is gone. it is replaced with love. Then there is the desire to protect you no matter what and the desire to see you happy and healthy. We as humans are like babes, we make mistakes, we "act out" based on emotions and inexperience. Jehovah looks down on us when we "act out" with such love, and as soon as we look to him for support and comfort its there, along with compassion and the desire to guide, to see us happy and safe. The other side of the coin is the pain he must feel to see his children rebel and reject his parenting... his angelic creation too! I can barely imagine his grief. Then to watch his son go through everything he did. I would die inside if I lost my child and that's after two months of bonding. Only now am I grasping more fully his love for me because I am now a mother.
It would be hard to understand his love if you didn't feel it as a child from a parent. That guiding hand of love. So its my mission to make sure you feel that love Noah, so you can have a better understanding of the love Jehovah has for you. If I love you like that, Jehovah does 1000x more so. But only when you become a parent will you fully understand the extent of his love.
Your loving Mother always X
