Dear Gray,
It has been seven amazing months since your daddy and I welcomed your sweet little self into this world. It has been such a learning and growing experience for not just you but for your mommy and daddy too. This month has been filled with a lot of Gray and mommy time which I absolutely love. You have been sick some this month, but you have been quite the little trooper. Every single day, I feel like you are doing something new. You have learned to sit up by yourself, you have learned to crawl, you love to splash in the bathtub, you eat like a hungry hungry hippo, and you love to love on your mommy. You eat solid food twice a day and love your high chair. You are so close to pulling up on everything. You will hold your own bottle if I put both of your hands on it. You still just need a little help from your mommy. Since you are on the move now, you love to crawl around in your crib. You get up on your knees and push the buttons on the mobile and also on the ocean aquarium toy. I think it distracts you sometimes from going to sleep. You love to have your daddy tickle your face and you love to have your hair brushed after a bath. I love the way you look at me. You study me and how my mouth moves when I talk or sing to you. I never want to take a day with you for granted because I don't want to miss anything. I am your biggest fan (your daddy is too) and I always want you to know that I love you so very much. I am proud of you and my heart overflows with "Grayness". "You are my sunshine". I let you know by singing it to you just about every day. It's your new favorite song. I only know the first verse but you could listen to it for an hour straight if I would sing it. I can't wait to see what's next. I love you!
Love,
Mommy

Heather - your are a precious mom.
I can almost see him doing all the things you mentioned in the letter. Thank you for sharing. He will treasure these writings as I do.
Here are the other verses....
You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head down and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Thanks Mom! That's pretty easy to learn. I will sing it to him tomorrow!
