There are milestones were going to meet. And when we meet one I will set the next. And the next. And before you know it you will be 18 on your way to college.
The first milestone was sleeping in your bassinet and not on my chest. We would sleep, well you would sleep, on my chest and I would prop a pillow under each arm barricading you on me. This started the first night we met. I was so worried you would roll off. Well, you didn't. That was our first milestone.
Next you slept in your bassinet, you smiled, then moved to your own crib, then you transitioned to formula at 3 months, sat up on your arms, ate bananas... You even stayed with your MayMay while I got a tooth pulled for 3 hours! All of these moments were such bittersweet accomplishments!
Tonight, at 4 months, you had another milestone. You left the house with Mimi while I worked, without me, for the first time!
This seems so small but trust me chicken, one day you will understand. Mimi said you were a social butterfly. You smiled so much! And at the old people hahahahahaha you love old people!
Anyways, I never knew what people meant when they said... When you have your own baby you will know what this is like... I thought I knew. I didn't. I don't.
I watched my phone all night. I missed you and worried. And here you are, perfectly asleep. Dreaming about all of the new faces you met today in this big world without mommy.
I love you so.
