Happy Birthday, Charlie

Today is Charlie's 8 month birthday. Happy birthday angel-baby. You look at me with those blue eyes like I am the most wonderful thing you have ever seen, every morning! You are curious and strong, funny and snuggly, and patient and clear. I know babies transform from easy to challenging overnight but I have faith that the solid old soul that is rolling around inside of you will remain.

I worry, as I am want to do, that I am missing your early months, me with a new job, you with that big brother of yours, but want you to know that I love you and think about you all the time. I can't wait for our summer vacation when we can spend time letting the breeze tickle us and the sun kiss us and time embrace us.

Happy birthday, angel-baby.
