January 2013

Dear Sebastien,

I am so excited to be writing these letters to you. The days move by and you are changing so quickly. As you like to say: you are not a baby, you are a BIG BOY. From the time you were born into the NICU, your sweet personality has been a constant. You are an incredibly loving and loved child. Your Dad and I marvel at how beautiful you are inside and out almost every day and how lucky we are.

January has been exciting!  We took you up to Squaw Valley to see the snow for the first time. You and mom went sledding for the first time. After mom kicked up all that snow though, you had more fun sledding on your own. Then skiing...despite looking quite dazed at the end, you loved ski school.

But this month has really been all about the alphabet... in the house, at night, in the car, you are singing the A says "AA", the A says "AA", every letter makes a sound and the A says "AAA." The S is my letter! When you forget the letters in your name, you run into your room to check the letter train that Grandpa Warner and Felicia gave you. It's a long one.

At night, I look forward to curling up with you at bedtime as you say so sweetly, "I love you mama. Will you sleep with me tonight? This is your spot." I love you so much and I am looking forward to the adventures, boo-boos and whatever else may come this year of four. Hopefully my photos will grow with you and reflect your infectious love.

I am so honored to be a a part of this 'Letters to Our Sons' blog circle with these beautiful photographers and moms, with whom I can share this amazing experience of being a mom, your mom. Up next is Miranda Snyder Hagan
