Just A Buttercup

T, you are just a buttercup right now.

You are starting to babble and talk.

Sure, you fuss and scream at the rest of us when you want mom instead.

You even screamed/squawked at K a few days ago when she bumped into you.

But you are starting to warm up.

You arch your back and look toward your sisters when they begin playing loud, watching and listening.

I can tell you just want to be in on all the action.

Mom is already worried you are going to be chasing them as soon as you start to crawl.

Enjoy your last few days of maternity leave and the quiet of the house with mom.

The world is out there, but it can wait a few days longer.

Just be our baby at home for a few more days.

We love you.

I love you.

-Dad
