A boy...

My sweet sweet Maxwell,

I looked at you today and I saw it.

I teared up, just a little.

I saw a little boy, not the baby that I brought home almost a year ago.

I reminisce about your tiny little body being comforted upon my chest.

I reminisce about our middle of the night dates, just you and me and the moon light shining on your sweet face.

I reminisce about your tiny fingers that were only strong enough to wrap around mine.

Maxwell, you amaze me each day.

I am so proud of the boy that you are developing in to.

I am proud of the independence that you have found.

I am proud of how confident you are of yourself.

You make being a mommy so wonderful.

My heart overflows with love for you.

And Maxwell, even though you will continue to grow from a little boy to a gentleman, you will always be my baby!
