A letter for Easton

I wrote a letter to Easton and thought I would share it, since this blog will be turned into a book.

Easton,

Hi, it's me mom. Today you are 9 months. I was just thinking about how last summer I was pregnant with you and I thought time was going by so slow because you couldn't come fast enough. Now, I think how time goes by so fast. You are now around 27 inches and I bet around 15 pounds( we will have to wait until next week to get exact numbers, that's when your doctors appointment is).You drink 5 oz bottles(about 5 a day).  You are fully crawling on your hands and knees. Oh, and you are pulling yourself up on everything. You are the only baby that I know that teeths for 4 months. But this month I can see and feel the tooth. I wish it would just come in along with all the other teeth. But as much as I can tell teething hurts you, you are a very happy baby. You smile and laugh at everyone. You also know how to wave. You make everyone laugh when you do that. Your dad and I have given you fresh green beans, whole wheat bread, and bananas. You love them all. I hope that you have your fathers taste. He will try anything at least once. Me on  the other hand, I like certain food and that's the only food I will eat. But either way I know you will eat. You have your dad and me wrapped around your finger. Oh, I meant your dad, me, all four grandparents, and aunts and uncles. You changed everyone for the better. Everything I do is for you. I love that I still get to rock you to sleep and "sing" you songs while holding you. I know those days will soon come to an end so I chairsh these days more than anything. Now, I think I'm done with the sappy part of this letter. I know it seems like a novel but it's only a letter. I have started to plan your 1st birthday. We are doing a jungle theme.We have bought the plates, napkins, streamers, balloons, good bags, pop, etc. Your dad and I hope to get sub sandwiches and turn them into snakes. We shall see in a couple of months if this really happens. As, I end this note I just want you to know that you mean everything to your dad and me. We both love you to the moon and back.
