Today is my second mother's day as an actual mother. I love being a Mom. I never want you to doubt that I love! I hope you will always see the reverance and the humility I have for Motherhood and all it encompasses. I hope one day when you have a wife you will treat her with dignity and with respect. I love being your Mom Bently! :) Thanks for making motherhood so incredibly enjoyable! I love you and I love you being your Mommy! Best. Job. Ever.
Love,
Mom

Dear Bently
I feel like haven't written you forever! It was very strange for your 13 month birthday to come and go without taking pictures or me writing a letter! It made me realize how big you are getting. We are officially out of the 1st year! I can't even believe it! In some ways it seemed to go by so fast and in other ways, so slowly! :) I wouldn't trade it for anything though!
You are so dang cute son! And you are learning new things every day! I love my days off because all I do is spend time with you! Even though today I was SO tired I loved being the one to wipe your face after you were done eating, or kiss your little cheek before nap time, or pick up you up after you hurt yourself! Those little things just make my heart melt! Being a working Mom has taught me so many things I hope I never forget! And I hope in some way, it makes me appreciate being a stay at home Mom even more! That day is coming Bently Elmer! Dad starts school in September and then let the countdown begin! ;)
Today we went on a long walk. I was going to take you jogging in the new stroller Dad and I bought from KSL but it has 3 very flat tires! I was not a happy Momma! But our walk was good! We walked to the super market and got some cereal for Dad, vitamins for me, and wheat thins to eat on the way home! You liked those wheat thins! We had a blast. You pointed at every single car that passed you! I would say "Yup there is a car" and you would just smile at me! It made me so happy! You point at a lot of things now! I told your Dad we're going to have to stop giving you things because your never going to talk! You constantly lead me to the fridge for a drink of milk. You are one thirsty kid. You drink a ton in one day! It's crazy! We had to switch you to whole milk because I was afraid you wouldn't gain enough weight if you drank 1% with me and dad! You just drink so much more than you eat!!!
I love you Bently Elmer! You are my whole world! I hope I never forget you at this age because you are just too fun!
Love,
Mom

Dear Bently,
Child oh how I love! I love days when I get to spend time with you! I love your Dad and all but I also LOVE days where it's just the two of us hanging out! I get to play with you and love on you! :) Today was like that! We went to the park with Aunt Shawna and Christina and Stacey. You were adorable! I was pushing you in the swing and the whole time you are gripping the front and staring at the ground. You looked not miserable, but not happy. I thought you were probably done and felt bad for swinging you for 10 minutes! To my utter and complete shock when I pulled you out of the swing you threw a fit! Screaming and kicking. So you went back in the swing. You stopped throwing a fit and resumed your hunched over position. I guess you enjoy it though you don't look like it on the outside! :)
When I finally got you out of the swing you had a blast crawling around on the sand! :) I loved watching you run your fingers threw it! I began chasing you! You recently started to scream when we chase you! It's hilarious! It makes my day hearing your little baby scream! :) You also do this thing when we get close to catching you where you plop your head down on the floor. Like an ostrich hiding in the sand. It's usually not a problem but today, like the ostrich, you really were in the sand. You have been drooling a ton because of your teeth so you can imagine your face when you pulled up from the sand! :) It was pretty gross but you were just smiling the whole time! You also got sand all up your nose! That was really gross! Aunt Stacey and I ran you to the bathroom to wash you off. Aunt Stacey was holding you when you let out a terrific sneeze. Snot and sand landed all over Aunt Stacey! Thank you Bently for not doing that on me! :)
You do so many fun things! I feel like I don't write enough of them down! I am stinky about writing in my journal so this is my journal for you! I will list as many as I can think of off the top of my head!
-You are too chicken to walk but you would rather us hold your hands and walk you around then crawl.
-When you are done with your sippy cup, or food, you throw it on the ground. You sometimes also throw it on the ground because you like to watch it fall. Dad always says we could feed a whole other kid just by the food you leave on the ground! :)
-You love watching cars! I am trying very hard to get you to say cars!
-Just these past couple days you have started to say the word Mom consistently! I LOVE IT! It's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my life! :) I can't even describe how good it makes me feel! :)
-You love bananas, hot dogs, candy (of course), and french fries!
-Don't get me wrong we give you drinks all the time! But every time, not matter how long since the last one, you drink like you are dehydrated and dying of thirst. You will chug and chug. You drink more than you eat! Thus, we have switched to whole milk because your Momma is worried about you getting too skinny! Daddy says you got that from him! :)
-You are constantly trying to get into the bathroom. Like constantly. If you hear the door open you hurry your baby butt as fast as possible over there. You always seem so proud of yourself when you make it in!
-You love books. You will just sit and look through all your books for hours on end. You love to flip the pages. I'll read them to you but you get impatient. Flipping the pages is apparently really fun! You are gentle though. Knock on wood, but so far you haven't ripped a single book.
-Lately when we say cheese you will scrunch up your little face into the most heart breaking smile imaginable! Sometimes you'll even close your eyes! It's hilarious! I try and make you do it as much as possible because I just love it so much! :)
-Dad has been trying for months to teach you to say "Oh Bugger" and then hit your head with your hand. I thought he was going to fail but the other day he said it, and you didn't say anything, but you hit your little head with your hand. I'm pretty sure your Dad was on cloud nine! And I got a nice little laugh out of it too! :) It's pretty much hilarious!
I know there is more but that is all I can think of right now! Every day you get bigger and bigger. I think you officially look like a toddler now. (Even though there is no toddling going on! ;) I love you my little man! You light up my world and keep me smiling!
Love,
Mommy
