Baby Talk

Dear Elijah,

Sitting here at the computer I just heard the sweetest sound. Baby talk.

You are laying on your daddy's chest as he rests on the couch. You are looking at him, well I should say you are looking through him and to him with your heaven-sent eyes. You are telling him something. Very literally - I turned to look at you and you were trying to open your mouth and tell him about something.

Your eyes are full of wisdom and light.. the wisdom and light only the Lord knows. You are miraculous. There is just nothing like a baby. Nothing like baby talk.

When you were just a newborn (now you are 4 months old) you would look at me. I remember how much you wanted to open your mouth to speak. I could feel it from your soul and see it in your eyes. You are an old soul. You can see a little bit of the intensity with which you try and talk to us in this picture.

As the world gets more and more jumbled and life more complicated for you as you grow up, just remember that as a baby you knew everything you ever needed to know. That you are the son of a King. You are a leader. You are full of peace and knowledge. Your soul knows everything and has all the answers inside of it.

Thank you for letting me be part of your life. Thank you for choosing to be with us.

I love you,

Your Mom

ps. Just a few notes of your milestones. You are rolling over! You arch your back and head more than any other baby I have seen. You are trying to sit up by yourself. You are loving your brother and sister. Every minute you can you will smile at them and talk to them too. The cool thing is that they talk back to you and know what you are saying. I love it.
