Dear Baby Snow,
Wow where do I even start? Two birthdays have passed since I last wrote to you, I hope you'll be able to forgive me for that!
You are a bottle of happy adorable sunshine and I love you more and more each day! You're walking and talking now! Officially two years old and progressing nicely.
We have adventures to visit grandma and you stole your first kiss at your second birthday party. You're friendly and love to give momma and daddy kissies <3.
The older you get the more it dawns on me that you aren't my little baby anymore. You're my little toddler, soon to be my little boy. You're huge! Three feet tall and already 30 pounds!
Lately you've been getting really good at making sure we know what you need and how you feel at all times. Other babies make you really jealous, so does daddy giving me a hug. You want me to give you all my attention all the time and most of the time I'm more than happy to oblige.
It makes my heart so happy to see how much you grow and change. You're so freaking smart and so well behaved. Such an easy little guy.
Currently Thomas The Train holds your heart more than anything else ever has. As soon as you hear the whistle you're in the room. You can be on the other side of the house but one note and you're here.
We try to get you to watch other things or spend time doing something else but no matter what at the end of the day there's always a little bit of that little blue engine.
Please and thank you have entered your vocabulary, along with a plethora of curse words much to dad's dismay.
No is still your favorite word. Why has also been added to the mix,
Me: Can I have a kiss?
Jon: Why?
Me: Because I love you!
Jon: Why?
Me: Because I'm your momma
Jon: Momma Momma Momma....Why?
You'll never fail to make me laugh! Today for example I was laying on my tummy and you decided to climb onto my back and laugh like you just conquered the world! You've invented a game I like to call "Oh no!" Where I sit with my legs up and you climb my knees then launch off them onto a mattress on the floor exclaiming "Oh no!" as you go. Not my favorite game but as soon as I sit like that you come running ready to play.
You always start the day with a big smile and take a few minutes to cuddle daddy then mommy before you go to playing and running around. You like to make sure everyone around you is happy, healthy, full, and entertained. You're such a sweetheart.
Unfortunately I can't write anymore right now so know that I love you to pluto and back.
Love you always, Momma

Dear Baby Snow ~ 9 months old!
Dear Baby Snow,
You're freaking huge! No seriously stop growing please. You're already in 18 month clothes and you're only 9 months old! Mommy's giant.
Well little monster it's been a while. You've got two teeth now and you're crawling and standing.
You're current favorite thing to say is "No mom!" I'm not 100% sure you know what it means but you sure like to say it. "Jonathon?" "No mom!" I try to hug you and it's "No mom!" You're pretty rude little man.
You can also say "Dad" and "Boob" and "Ew" You're learning so much so fast it's crazy! You're favorite place to play is the jolly jumper and you walk with it. You've come to me more than once just for a hug before you keep playing.
I love you so much little man, you have no idea. You're so happy all the time and your smile lights up my universe.
Your first birthday is in 2 months and that's completely insane! You had your first christmas already too. So many firsts.
Blues Clues has become a permanent fixture on our TV. If we so much as turn the TV on you instantly wake up and stare until Blues Clues is turned on. It's at the point where we know every episode off by heart. I've tried to convert you to other shows, Zaboomafoo, Bubble Guppies, Clifford, but no it has to be "Boos Coos" or no one is happy and I do mean no one.
Your temper tantrums are horrible! You stomp and jump and scream and throw stuff, it's the worst.
You're bouncing and smiling at me as I write this. When you get really happy you scream...like you just did, there's a reason I call you little monster.
You're finally in a snuggly phase! FINALLY! After 9 months you let me hug you sometimes! See the thing is you're really fluffing cute I just want to hug you all the time but you never wanted hugs until now. It's perfect!
Me and dad have a rule where whoever you hug first gets to be your snuggle buddy for the day. I win a lot (I may cheat and make you hug me but that's our little secret kay?)
You still sleep on our bed but that's okay. You're my little baby alarm and I love waking up to you hugging me. It's perfect little monster. You're my whole world and I love you so much.
Dad played you guitar the other day, you loved it. You wanted to try too so dad let you and you spent a good half hour just hitting it and laughing away.
You seem like you're sleepy so I'm going to end this here and get you a snack before we all head off to bed. Love you.
Until Next Time, Mom.

Dear Baby Snow ~ Just a little note
Dear Baby Snow,
You're eating more solids now! Yay! I forget to feed you solids everyday so I'm sorry. You're growing so fast that it makes my head spin little mister. You're almost crawling and laughing. You make my world have purpose little man.
Today you learned how to make a new face and it's the funniest face ever. It's like a cabbage patch doll, will those still be relevant when you read this? Probably not.
You're still sleeping with us because you're afraid on your own and that's my fault. I'm sorry I've been so sick so often, my body needs to smarten up so I can be 100% your mom and not the 80% I'm forced to be. It hurts little man, not being able to constantly help you. I wish I could and I'm trying as hard as I can.
I looked through your old pictures today, it's hard to believe you used to be so small! I could carry you in one arm. Now you're two big to be cradled (plus you hate it so there's that). I miss those days. The long nights and you being so small but I love the man you're becoming. Six months old with a personality bigger than any I've seen.
Today you found your shoe and decided it's the best toy. The bond between you and that shoe was ridiculous. You learned to scream today too. It's cute but scared me half to death when I went to the bathroom and heard you scream. It's your favorite sound little mister but I wish it wasn't. Mommy would be devastated if something actually happened to you and that screams makes me worry.
Dad spent all day with you today. You watched him play games and you crawled up his chest. You refused to nap, typical Jonathon.
It's 4 in the morning little mister. You're asleep on daddy while I write this and starting to squirm. It's about time for you're early morning scream feeding. You wake up tired as all heck and cry demanding food then fall asleep.
So on that note...
~Until next time, Mom

Introduction
Dear Baby Snow,
It's been quite a ride but you're here. You're here and you're perfect. Six months old with the cutest blue eyes and the biggest smile. You weren't easy that's for sure. Pregnancy turned into sickness that turned into ulcers. You got sick and ended up in hospital for 4 days.
But the important thing is you're here. You're talking now. Saying momma to get your way like a difficult little man.
Don't want a bath? "Mommmaaaa". Dad's a hardass like always. You're crying doesn't win him over like it does me. You can't guilt him into picking you up.
You hate snuggles. I've met tons of babies but none of them hate snuggles as much as you. We try, trust me when I say we try, but you aren't having it.
You'll only snuggle once you're tired out from playing which takes hours, by the way.
So the other day I was playing with you, your favorite game where we lift you and say "weeee", and you vomited all over my face. It was in my mouth and my eyes and up my nose and all I could do was laugh.
You have that affect on me. No matter how gross you can be, and trust me babies are seriously gross, I still laugh and smile. My entire life lights up with up you baby snow.
You used to not eat or sleep unless we played Elton John for you. Only Elton John. The song "Your Song" still calms you down to this day.
If you won't sleep I sing it to you, off key mind you, but it calms you.
It's been six months since you were born but it flew by. They aren't kidding when they say you blink and your baby is grown up. I still remember bringing you home and thinking "What do I do with it?". Since I first put you in your bed and woke up every five minutes to check on you. You sleep so soundly baby snow.
Even now as you sleep beside me I find myself checking on you.
Let's see, what else can I tell you? You have a favorite blanket. It just so happens to be my blanket that dad bought me for Christmas but I suppose I'll share, just for you. You have a favorite toy, it's a mooshroom from the game Minecraft. It was also mine at one point, you steal mom's stuff a lot.
You eat solids, when we remember to give them to you, sleep through the night, and giggle at the smallest things. You love everyone, there's never been a person you don't like.
You fell off the bed a few days ago baby snow. It was the scariest thing I've ever had happen. You'll get hurt plenty more I'm sure. I can't protect you from everything but man I wish I could.
You'll fall, stumble, cry, get broken hearts, and cuts but that's life baby Snow. Just know I'll always be here to make it better when you need me.
~Until Next Time Mom.
