Just when I think it life with you can’t get any better…it does!
But please stop growing now. I really want to keep things the way they are.
I mean it! That baby face is too precious for words!!
Right now you think your daddy is the funniest person alive. All he has to do is dance around and act silly and goofy and you smile and coo and encourage his behavior. After 8 ½ years of me telling him he isn’t funny, he finally has you to tell him he is! I have never seen your dad so happy. He has never been a very emotional guy-he’s too logical and intelligent for that. But around you he turns to mush. He has a new light in his eyes and a new purpose in life that drives him to be a better man than he already was. And ironically since you think your daddy is funny, I’m starting to agree. When I see him through your eyes and laugh at you as you laugh at him, I appreciate his humor on a new level.
I thank God every night for sending me your daddy to be my husband and best friend. To be my partner in this journey of raising you to be a Godly man.
Just as your dad knows that you won’t think he is funny forever, I know that I won’t get to kiss your neck for very much longer. That’s why I want you to stay at this phase!! When you become mobile and more independent, you will push me away. And then at a certain age all of those kisses will just be weird. But for right now I can pin you down, and kiss your neck while you kick your legs and squeal with excitement-laughing the sweetest laugh I have ever heard.
The sound of you laughing is like pure joy and your dad and I can’t help but laugh out loud with you. It’s contagious. I even call other family members and put them on speaker so they can hear you laugh and laugh with you. I wish I could box up your laugh somehow and keep it forever. I take pictures of you laughing but they don’t do it justice!

**Note to self…record baby Rowan’s precious laugh and replay it years from now when he is a teenager and doesn’t talk to me or let me kiss him anymore or think his dad is funny-we will need to remember that he really does love us, even when he pretends he doesn’t.
