I love them so much it makes my heart hurt.
Charlie: I love the way you nuzzle into my neck, I love the way you get so excited about things like pictures of monkeys or the moon being out, I love the way you repeat things we say, I love the way you say things like “uh huh” and “sure”. I love the way you get excited when the baby smiles and say “Baby happy!”, I love the way when I say “ouch” you ask me if I want you to kiss it by saying “kiss it?”, I love the way you hug your friends when they get a booboo or cry, I love the way you get so happy to play with other kids, I love the way you are so sweet to others and readily share, I love the way you sat thank you, I love that you ask to put a napkin on your lap, I love when you tell Huck to “take it”, I love when you want to see our friends and ask for them by name saying “Carol” “Gip” “Rachel” “Ben Azzatto”, I love the way you are so eager to do everything on your own, I love that you call out for me in the morning, I love the way you say “Hold you Charlie” when you want to be picked up, I love the way you cannot keep from pouring all your dinner all over the place, I love the way you want to give Huck a piece of everything, I love the way you dance—especially when you move just one foot while keeping the other still, I love the way you throw your hands up in the air when you hear a song you like, I love the way you want to hold one of whatever it is you are reading about or watching, like when someone on TV is singing you run to get your guitar or when I read you a book about ducks you need to run and get your duck, I love the way you sleep with your blanket and stuffed animals, I love the way you ask me to add a Charlie character to any story I am telling you, I love holding you, I love hearing random words coming from your crib, I love the songs you make up, I love that you aren’t afraid to try things, I love that you are excited to join other kids playing even when you don’t know them, I love that you are interested in everything, I love that you picked up and tried to take a bite of an entire stick of butter, I love that you ask for a cookie at every meal, I love when you say “Charlie like it” about cereal, soccer, or the snow, I love when you ask me to read to you, I love that you get excited for Cobi to visit us and run around calling her name, I love that you think snowmen are built solely for Huck to eat them, I love how you ask me to “jump you in” to put you in your car seat, I love your eyes and nose and mouth and little hands, and cute little body, I love everything about you.
Teddy: I love the way your soft little head feels next to my arms when we are sleeping, I love holding you all day and giving you kisses every two minutes, I love the way you want to see everything going on, I love the way you smile with the hugest smile at everything, I love that you are so happy all the time, I love the way you watch your brother, I love the way you grab whatever you can get your hands on, I love the way you love fabrics and with such zest bury your face into blankets, burp clothes, and dish towels, I love when you throw your head back to look upside down, I love when you kick your legs crazily in the bath, I love when you cuddle into my arms, I love all the little sounds you make, I love the way you laugh when I kiss your tummy, I love the way you kick your feet so much I can’t get your pants on you, I love the way you grab my finger, I love the way you hold my hair and necklaces when I feed you, I love the way you get your hands all tangled in my hair when you are looking over my shoulder, I love the way you tug at my bracelet, I love the way you are so easy going, I love the way you try to scoot around on your back, I love the way you are obsessed with the pack of wipes and always try to eat it, I love the way you sit in your little seat on the table and try to reach around for everything, I love the way you get so happy to see yourself in the mirror right after you are taken out of the bath, I love the way you feel in my arms, I love the way you look when you sleep, I love your soft little hands, and tiny little legs, and cute little belly, and that soft hair and beautiful face, I love everything about you.
