For Lansing

I wrote this to you when you were just 9 weeks old.  Today you are 7 months.

My sweet boy Lansing,
I have to tell you that you have only been in my life for 9 weeks but you have made me and your daddy the happiest two people in the world.  You literally made me see the beauty in every aspect of life.  Your smile lights up my world!  Every little sound you make, whether it's puckering your little lips, sneezing, or cooing, I can't get enough.  When you fall asleep on my chest, I stay as still as possible hoping you'll want to stay in that position forever.  I never thought I'd get to have this experience with you and now all I think about is that I get to spend every day with you for the rest of my life and it puts the biggest smile on my face and makes my heart skip a beat.  I truly believe you saved my life.  You are so incredibly strong and you have no idea yet, but what you had to endure while in the womb, no baby should have to go through.  But somehow, you arrived save and sound, and happy.  I'm so thankful for you and love you more than there are words.  You are my little angel.
Love,
Mommy
