Today you hit another milestone. Today, for the first time, you had fun with the game Peek-a-Boo. I've tried before but you usually just look confused when I pull the blanket from my face and yell, "peek-a-boo!". But today? Today you laughed. You laughed like you've never laughed before. And oh, how I laughed with you. So I did it again and again and again.
I love nothing more than making you happy. We were at lunch today with Grandma, Papa, Aunt Heather and Axel and you sat there in your car seat quiet and serious, taking "it" all in. I looked at you, you looked at me...and then, real slow-like, you smiled. It wasn't the "excited someday-toothy grin that looks like you're on the verge of hilarity" smile. No...it was small and sweet and mild and it absolutely melted my heart.
Sometimes I look at you and I can't believe you're mine. I can't believe that I get to know you for your whole life! I can't believe that I had a hand in creating you! Honestly, Eli...I've never been prouder of any accomplishment in all my life.
I love you, Monkey.
Mom
