A New Year!

Dear Marcus,

Christmas has come and gone, and you're still smiling!  I can't get over how different you are from your passionate brother.  You are easy come, easy go.  The only time you cry is when you are hungry.  And then, every once in a while you get a little gassy and you get upset.  The other night was the worst.  You cried for an hour and a half and I felt so bad for you!  The only time you were happy was when your Dad laid you on your  back and started pumping your legs.  I could not stop laughing because you immediately went from screaming to grinning and then right back to screaming as soon as he stopped!  If I did it, it just didn't work!

We had a lot of family over here for Christmas.  You got lots of snuggles, but you need your space sometimes.  You have adapted well to sleeping in your bed.  But, true to your self, you grin like crazy when I come get you out of the crib in the morning.

You are a big baby!  You are more long than chunky, but you look like a six month old and you are only four months.  You are finally starting to enjoy tummy time.  I think you realized that it's your ticket to crawling!  You are perfectly content playing with your feet and hands so toys don't realize entice you to move.  I do love how babies (including you!) have this ingrained sense that they are accomplishing things.  Whenever you do something new, you look at me like you just ran a marathon.  I guess for your little chunky body, it's similar!

I am having back surgery in two days.  I'm a little nervous, but ready to back to being a normal mom...whatever that means!  I have been very limited.  You probably haven't noticed, but your big brother certainly has! 

You are starting to get hungry, so I'd better go feed you.  I'm ready to see your sweet smile again!

I love you!

Mom
