Beyond Words.

I don't have any funny stories to share today. I just want to share my gratitude.

The way I feel about Jacob is beyond words. He has changed us.

He makes us more patient, more kind, more considerate. He reminds me every day why I'm here.

I feel like I was put on this earth to be his mama. I know that there is and will be more to my life, but right now, nothing else seems to matter.

I consistently find myself lying on the floor next to him when I know I "should" be doing dishes. My favorite thing is just staring at him. Everything else can wait. He keeps growing and growing and I feel like if I blink, I'll miss something. So I don't intend to blink.

He's completely charming. His little sounds, his little smiles, his little sneezes and yawns and coughs and coos... It's overwhelming.

Usually I can write songs about stuff that makes me feel so much, but I've been having a hard time putting the way I feel about him into words. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced.

I am so grateful for this little man. Even though he is currently pooping in his diaper, you know, the one I JUST changed.
