Welcome Baby Easton

Dear Baby Easton -

Welcome to this crazy family little boy.  It’s a crazy, wonderful, special little family we have here and we couldn’t be happier that you are now a part of it.  I wasn’t sure how another baby of our could be as beautiful and special as the two we have already, but boy did you sure exceed our expectations. Is it OK to call you beautiful?  When you get older we will use “handsome” instead – Wyatt tells us that is what you call boys – handsome, not beautiful.

At just 6 days old, when your big brother was talking to you, you smiled at him. I think you two will be great friends. Both your brother and sister are quite smitten with you.  They want to touch you and hold you and feed you all day long. First thing in the morning, both of them run to your room the second they hear your little squeaks to greet you good morning. The only thing they don’t really want to do is help change your diapers. Hmm. I had to try.

This morning around 530 am, you didn’t really want to go to bed and I was starting to get frustrated because I REALLY wanted to get some more sleep before everyone else go up for the day, but everytime I would crawl back into my bed I would hear your little squeal.  After the third time, I was rocking you in the rocking chair and your big eyes were looking right at me and I swear you smiled at me.  I realize it may have just been gas, but that little smile absolutely melted my heart.  I prefer to think you were having a good laugh keeping your mama up to have some time alone with me.  And it worked, because I rocked with you until after 6, until you passed out in my arms.

Your eyes seem wise beyond your years. That sounds like a funny thing to say about a newborn, but it’s true.  They are big and dark, the deepest blue you can imagine right now. They most likely will turn a brillant blue like your siblings, but right now they are dark and wise looking.  Your dad said the other day, you had the face of a more mature baby, and I have to agree. You don’t really look like an infant – already old at 6 days old. Quit growing so fast young man!

I had forgotten what it is like to have a newborn in the house – even though your sister wasn’t a newborn THAT long ago. I love everything about you and your tiny self.  I love the feel of your peach fuzz hair on my cheek. I love the smell of every part of you.  I love the sound of your tiny squeaks and squeals when you are hungry.  I love that you LOVE to be held and snuggled.

Welcome to this crazy, beautiful family Baby Easton. We are so happy to have you.

Love,

Your Mama
