I have a friend who writes monthly letters to her son, something which I love. So rather than keep posting monthly updates I want to begin writing letters to Nathan. Letters that I hope he will read one day, letters that I can look back on and remember all of these special moments in his life.
So today, I will share my first letter.
Dear Nathan,
We spent this month surrounded by family and you loved every single second of it. It was so amazing to see you play with your aunt and uncle. To see how you warmed up to them even after not having seen them for over a year. You would wake up every morning asking for them and go to bed every night telling them goodnight.
You've also been loving spending time with your grandmother "Nana". I don't know who will suffer more when she is gone you or her. After spending an entire month with her you now speak more Spanish than ever, which is keeping all of us on our toes. She tucks you in every night and sings to you. You wake up asking for her and immediately run to her when you need to be spoiled. Every child should be loved and spoiled this way by grandparents.
Even though Christmas is over, you still ask for Santa and run around the house saying "Ho Ho Ho Merry Mismas". It is so endearing and it is clear that the Christmas magic has stayed with you.
You are turning into such a wonderful and caring young boy. You have amazed us with your love and tenderness for your little brother. You love to share your milk with him even though he won't drink it and you give unprompted kisses when he is crying. You also love to tell him to "pleure pas bebe" which means "don't cry baby" as you console him.
We can't tell you how much fun we are having with you and how lucky we feel to have you in our lives.
Mommy & Daddy

What a great brother he is! I think it's a fantastic idea to write monthly letters to him. Kind of like love letters from his parents he can look back on :)
Happy New Year! Catching up on blog posts and looks like you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year =) I completely agree with the month counting issue and the new monthly letters sounds like a fabulous idea. What a sweet memento it will be for him!
What a beautiful way to keep him "posted". I wish I had thought of that with my children...
Great idea! And these will definitely be cherished as it really captures who he is. Everyone does need a grandma like that
I just caught up on all your posts and can't decide where to comment so I will do it here. Such a great letter, what a neat way to let him know what was going on in his little life as he grows.
Time sure does fly, doesn't it! Love that photo. He's adorable! This was so sweet.
Beautiful letter and adorable picture!
Love that he loves the ipad. I just had this thought about my little guy...that soon I will have to stop counting the months. He is getting so big when I started reading he was just a little guy.
So sweet! Yes, it's hard when you have to stop counting in months. Merry Mismas is so darling!
You know he's growing up when you stop counting the months!
So nice he gets to spend a month with Nana visiting. My mom was just here for a week and my youngest was completely attached to her.
I heard the other day about someone sending emails to their child so that when they got older they could read them. Similar to what you are doing but electronic.
Beautiful letter to your son. And what a sweet sharing big brother he is. I'm sure he'll cherish these letter someday.
What an amazing letter! JDaniel has stopped asking for Santa and can't wait for his birthday.
Love these photo/word collages ... you can add so many moments - and way easier than scrapbooking which I have yet to do.
Beautiful, love that you are recording all his moments ... I would love a do over with things like these!
Beautiful letter! Time certainly flies. Sounds like he's an amazing little guy!
Such a cute idea to write letters to your kids! I would like to do the same. So sweet.
You're right, every child should have someone to spoil them with love. This is a great idea, he'll enjoy these someday.
I'm pretty sure that I stopped counting by months at 2 years, pretty much for the same reasons you did. :)
Merry Mismas....awwwwww
Happy 2 and 2 months Nathan! What a lovely letter Barbara.
Awww so sweet! He is such a big boy now :)
oh love the idea - perhaps I'll do the same with my baby :)
By the way the maternity pictures are fantastic!
He is so sweet Barbra. I love the letter and am certain he will too one day!
I love that picture and your letter. I'm sure he will love to read those when he is older.
What a lovely idea and a lovely letter.
Very sweet, Barbara. Jack is still running around saying Merry Christmas too (Merry Mismas is so cute).
Awwww!
So sweet. And yes, I dread the days I have to stop calculating Ava's age in months. Sigh.
What a lovely ode to your little guy!
Sweet letter, Barbara. He's adorable and growing up so quick!
What a wonderful thing to do for him! When he's old enough to read these, I'm sure he will cherish them.
:)
