Dear William, Letters from Mom. (Continued)

If you didn't see my last blog post I had posted letters that I had wrote to my kiddo before he was born. It's September already and in 24 days my son will be 3 years old and I cannot believe it. I'm in shock. Here are the letters I wrote to my bubby after his birth. You can tell when I slacked is when William was going in and out of the hospital and sick all the time. *Tissues needed for the Mama.

November 3rd 2007                       1 Month 1 week and 1 day old

To my love,

   Wow honey, what a month! It was love at first sight. True love. Daddy and I are so happy you came to live with us. :) Even when you eat every 2 hours during the night!

       Here are some reasons why I love you...
               *When you smile you reassure mommy of her purpose in life.
               * You made us a Family.
               * When you smile, I have never in my life experienced just joy.
               * I just love you and don't need any reason.

                               I love you Bubby,
                                     Mommy

My lil' Bubby,

   Geez, I love you so much. Mommy loves to snuggle you to sleep! The past week you have been sleeping on my arm beside Daddy and myself. We love you so much....

                                               Love Always and Forever,
                                                          Mommy

Mr. William Frank Ellis,

    Wow, you are growing so so fast! I can't believe it! You will be 4 months old on the 26th and I can't wait! That's when you can have solid foods!
   
                                              Love,
                                               Mommy

Bubby,

   I love you so much. Always remember that. Even when you cry for hours straight. It's okay baby, cause Mommy knows it's not your fault. I just want your tummy to feel better. You're growing so fast.

                                           I love you son,
                                                  Mom

To Mommy's Giggly Ball of Happiness,

     Wow, you're 4 months old! I cannot believe it! In that 4 months you have grown so much. All you ever do is smile, giggle and make me the most proud mommy in the world!
     All I can hope and pray for is that you have a full and happy life. That's my dream. I just hope I can give you everything you could ever possibly want!
     I see me in you. You are me continued on! I would die for any of my family, but I have never been so content with passing away. If we were ever in any situation that it was either you or me... I wouldn't even have to blink to know the answer. I have never experienced that kind of love!! Well, of course with your Daddy, but I didn't realize it until now. I love you so much!
    We just got back from Lake Charles. We had a great visit. Everyone loves you so so much! Last time we went down there everyone said you look just like your daddy... now this time they said you look more and more like me! But every time you look at me and raise those eyebrows with those big beautiful blue eyes with those long long thick eyelashes... You look just your Daddy! You're melting my heart every time I look at you!
    You know besides your Daddy's personality, his eyes and his "look" is why I fell in love with him! You have his eyes and his look baby boy! You are going to make some special woman a great husband!
    When I am not having such a great day, you look at me and make it all better.
 You're making more and more squeals and noises! I love it! Soon you will be able to say Mama and Dada!

                                        I love you more then you'll ever know,
                                                                  Mom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

February 9th 2008

Mr. William Ellis,

     Hey Mommy's boy! You're getting so big! You're now saying, "ahh" and "daaa". Soon you will be saying Dada and Mama.
     You went to Church for your first time today. You slept right through it, too!  Everybody loved you there!
     I think you might be getting sick for your first time! Yikes! Poor baby... You have fever, Rosey cheeks, congestion, cough & sneezing. I'm going to take you to the doctor tomorrow. I hate you being sick! It hurts my heart!!

                                I love you,
                                           Mom

William,

   Wow! 1 Month away from 1/2 a year old! Time sure does fly! Happy 5 months! Man, you are turning over so fast. You are so funny sometimes. I love you so much big boy! We were going to take you to Spain, but your Dad doesn't wanna go. Bummer, huh? I love you!

                                                             Love,
                                                               Mom

April 7th 2008                       6 and 1.5 months

William,

  You're getting so so big! You can scoot everywhere, sit up and say mama. Oh yeah, you also like to shake your head no at everyone. We went to Gainesville a week and a half ago to see Granny. She loves you so so much!! You chewed on her finger and you showed her your tooth. Write more later big boy.

                              Love,
                                 Mom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


 April 21st 2008                                  5 days shy of 7 months

William Frank Ellis,

   I cannot believe you're almost 7 months old, wow!! You old geezer! You are doing everything. All you're not doing is walking and talking. It wont be long. You're about to have your second tooth! Big Boy!
   Right now your Nana is rocking you while you're crying fighting your sleep.
                  Gotta go!
                 
                                             Love you!
                                                  Mom

April 27th 2008                                             7 months and 1 day old

William,

    7 months already. Wow. You seem to be doing new things every single day. You're now saying "Mama", "Dada" & "Nana". Big Boy! Your first trip to the Guadalupe was yesterday. You were fussy. It's okay though, I still love you.

                            I love you,
                                   Mama

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June 2nd 2008

Big Mama's lil' Bambino,

   Your Big Mama passed away less then a week ago. I just want you to know how much she loves you. The last thing she ever wrote was "He slobbers". She wanted you so bad. She couldn't cause she was on life support. She loves you more then anything and anyone.

                                    Love,
                                          Mom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June 5th 2008

William,

   I am completely amazed with you! You're growing like crazy. You ate spaghetti for you first time tonight.
   I really wish I could call your Big Mama and tell her. She loved you more than words could ever express. You're the one keeping Nana together right now.
   You mean so much to everyone. Your Aunt Angie and cousins are coming into town this weekend. Tonight actually. I'm excited for you to play with your cousins and spend time with them. Write more later.

                                                   Love,
                                                        Mom

June 8th 2008

Mr. Fit Thrower,

   Yes Sir'. You are now throwing fits! You throw yourself backwards and flop around on the floor. It's kinda funny.
   Your Daddy's first Fathers Day is coming up. I have a few ideas on what we are going to make him. You're gonna help me, right big boy?

                                          I love you more than anything! Always remember that!
                                                                       Mom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

July 23rd 2008

Mr. William Ellis,

    You are so funny. All you ever do is laugh. When you do laugh, you snort. You said "cracker" today and "love you" 2 days ago. You can walk while holding onto things. I cannot believe you're about to be 10 months old. Wow. 2 more months then you'll be a year old. How time flies when you are having fun!

                                             I love you!
                                                Mom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 September 7th 2008

Bubby,

   Can you believe you're about to have your first birthday? I can't!! You're so funny. You dance to Mikey Mouse, talk randomly and I just saved you from shutting your thumb in a drawer. I love you so much. Always remember Mommy's handsome man!

                                                    Love,
                                                       Mom

Mommy's big 1 year old,

    What a year it has been! You started walking about 2-3 weeks before your birthday and you started running about 2 days after your birthday.
    You're so smart baby. You know open and close, peek a boo, come on and everything. I love you so much!

                                     I am so proud of you!!!
                             
                                                       Love Always,
                                                               Mom

William,

          I need to write down all that you have had done so far.

                                *3 IVs
                                *Put under 1 time
                                *3 Catscans
                                *1 sonogram on your kidneys
                                *Around 20 blood draws
                                *5 x-rays
                                *1 Set of ear tubes
     I think that is it.


                                       I love you,
                                             Mom
