Dear Santi,

My Little Love,

You are a little magician. You make time disappear! Where have the past eight weeks gone?!

It amazes me how much you have changed since my last letter. My favorite of all the changes is your smile! You respond with a smile when we smile at you. You particularly love it when we stick out our tongues, sometimes you even mimic us and stick your tongue out at us! You have the sweetest smile, you even smile in your sleep. Oh my happy baby, I love you so much.

You are also full of cuddles and coo's right now. After you eat you like to snuggle up and gaze at me. It just melts my heart. I sing to you all the time and I'll continue to do so until you're old enough to complain. Even then, I'll probably still sing to you. Over the past couple of weeks we listened to Jimi Hendrix, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Kate Nash and of course, the Beastie Boys. Music makes you so happy.

On April 30 we took you home for the first time. Like HOME, home, to Carlsbad. We stayed for a week and it was such an eventful trip. It marked your longest car ride and mommy's first beer since before I was pregnant. Those were on different days of course.

At your last doctors visit you weighed 10.9lbs and you were 23 inches long. You are so big and healthy! Your eyes are still blue and your hair is outrageous.

Everyday you sweep us off our feet, making us fall head-over-heels in love with you over and over. And it never gets old. We adore you.

Love,
Mama
