Hello again, sweet boy.

Another month has gone by.  I feel like I wrote my last letter to you yesterday.  I only wish the time would go by slower so I could spend more days with you.

This month, you got to meet Nana and Grumpa.  They loved you SO much… and you loved them!  I still can’t believe how quickly you warm up to strangers, with a smile and then with play.  They bought you some amazing gifts for Christmas  – a ball pit, and a giant teddy bear.  I don’t think you could have been happier.

You’ve been doing some major growing this month, son.  You’re 31 inches tall!  And 21 pounds.  Everyone that meets you tells me how BIG you are for just 10 months old.  You’ve been cruising around the house, holding on to every object you can find, trying to walk but not quite ready yet.  You’ll be running around with us chasing after before we know it.  You talk all the time, just like your mum!  A little blabbermouth.  Daddy loves it.  You make him laugh all day.  And in just a few days, you’ll be experiencing your very first Christmas!  We are so excited.

You still don’t sleep, my baby boy.  It gets harder and harder as you get older and older.  You get so frustrated with us, and can’t communicate, so you pinch.  I dearly hope that’s something you grow out of.  Daddy handles you with patience better than I do right now, so he’s been loving you to sleep every night.  You love your daddy so very much… always full of smiles and laughs when you see him.

Ronan, you clap and cheer!  You crawl so fast, and you LOVE to throw things.  Flint is still your favorite toy, and you laugh when you chase him.  You HATE getting dressed, and you would rather crawl around without a diaper on than anything else in the world.  Bathtime is always so much fun.

You are an amazing little human, Ronan.  I’m lucky to be part of your life.

Love,

Mum.

Upon deciding that I would create a ‘real’ blog, I also decided that it was important for me to commit to writing every single day.  That is one of the few things that has been missing in my previous endeavors as a blogger.  And then, I always get to the point where I’ve had a horrible day, and I don’t want to write, and I have to do it anyways.

Could you hear the whining tone?

But I’m going to write anyways!  Since today has actually been a great day, despite getting in a huge fight with my husband over absolutely nothing. Ronan had his second chiropractor appointment, and it was amazing.  She adjusted his neck again, and he just lay there and let her do it!  It was as though he knew that it was going to make him feel better.  We came home and immediately had a 2 hour nap.  One of the best one’s ever.  And I got SO much done!

I have some ideas for this blog.  Some quite stolen from other blogs, and some semi-original ideas.  I want to write letters to Ronan.  I WILL keep them separately, but put them up here.  I also want to post old blogs from my Xanga – I think I’ve written some amazing things, and they shouldn’t just die in the Xanga archives.  I’ll try to intersperse them with regular blogs.  I also want to post pictures that I’ve taken, as you may have seen.  Most of all, I would like for my writing to improve, and the only way for that to happen is just to simply write and write and write.

Have I ever said before that I love Sandra Bullock?  Well, I do.
