What I love about my little boy...

Since it's November, I thought I'd write about the things for which I am thankful. Killian is chief among them, however, there is so much to this complex little person that I have to list all of the little things that make me so grateful for him. Here goes:

Killian, I am thankful for:

• your smiles, the ones when you're about to fall asleep and your new awake smiles.
• our cuddles in the morning before "school."
• your fingers wrapped around mine.
• those thrashing little arms and kicking little legs (despite your punching me on occasion).
• the way you try to pull closer when we nurse.
• how you "Cuddle up, Cuddlebug" on my shoulder.
• the little "oohs," "ahhs," and coos you are starting to make more often.
• the color of your eyes.
• your beautiful eyelashes.
• the fact that you prefer Momma to a bottle.
• the Juno soundtrack that seems to calm you down in the car.
• the sound of your cry, even as it breaks my heart, because it means you're here and you need me.
• how I don't even mind being pooped, peed, drooled, boogered, and puked on, so long as it is coming from you.
• the way you're changing my day-to-day life by making Mommy a better planner, helping me learn to live a little more and worry a little less about the small stuff, and assisting my shift from uber-Type A personality to semi-Type A personality.

When you read this someday Baby Boy, know that no matter whatever has stressed me out, worried me, scared me, etc. I want no other boy than you because you are perfect. From head to toe, you are my little angel and I'd change nothing about you. "You're amazing, just the way you are."

Here's the song that Momma sings while she rocks you to sleep at night:
