Beautiful Existence

A tiny heart beats with in me

A blessing from above

with tiny hands and tiny feet

A new and exciting love

The most beautiful existence

Day by day you grow

As does my love for you

More than you'll ever know

I can't wait for the day

To finally see you
To hold you in my arms
A dream come true

It was a Thursday night when I went into labor.  After what seemed like a long night, ugly contractions and a sweet epidural, Jake at my bed side holding my hand the whole time... Our baby boy was born.

6lbs 11ozs and 20in long

We cried when they placed him in my arms.  He was perfect, and everything we thought he'd be and more.  He was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.  Watching Jake hold him for the first time, seeing how happy he was, made me think of all the memories to come for us as a couple... and new parents.

     Today, Graysen is almost 5 months old!!!  Happy, smiling, and talking all the time.  So far we have been blessed; he has really taken it easy on us first time parents.  It seems like from the first week home, he was smiling.  "Its just gas"... I'm sure its been said before, and I'll say it again.  He smiles because he is a healthy and happy baby, gas or no gas.

     We started rolling about a month ago, although the very first roll was when he was 3 months... Anyway, its mostly from his belly to his back, and every now and then from his back to his belly.  He has started to try and bring his knees underneath him as well... Instead of keeping his arms in front of him like he usually does, they go straight out like he's trying to fly! 

     I love it.  Every minute with this boy is fun, sweet, and precious!!!  That handsome grin, and those pretty eyes melt my heart every day...  I wish he would stay this size forever!!

Mommy loves you baby boy!!
