Little Thrasher,

I hope you don’t mind your new code name. I think it sounds tough, and you’re a pretty tough little man. You’ve come into our home and completely transformed our world as we once knew it. I have almost forgotten what it’s like to get a full night’s sleep and you’ve only been here a week. I know it’s probably scary being in a new place around completely new faces but I promise we love you. We already love you more than you will ever know. We are praying for your mommy, that she is able to get better and have you back because as much as we already love you. . . we know that is where you belong if at all possible. Your smiles and coo’s have the ability to bring me to tears. Knowing in those times you feel safe and loved makes me the happiest.

You came down with a cold and it makes me so sad for you. It’s hard for you to sleep or eat and I know those are your two favorite things. I have researched all day about what to do for your cold, so I hope all of my attempts start to work soon. Bath time has become my favorite part of the day, and I’m pretty sure it might be yours too. You can’t even sit up on your own yet, but you’re already gearing up to crawl and it’s the cutest thing in the world. I’ve already had several people say you look  just like me, and I smile and say thank you. Who needs to know all the tiny details? I hope you adjust to your new home soon, but no matter what we are going to be here for you every second of every day trying to make you the happiest little man around. That is my job and I will take it seriously, I promise.  We don’t know if you will leave next week, next month, or never. . . all we know is you will always have a huge place in our hearts.

I hope you never get sick of me kissing on your sweet chubby legs. I just can’t resist!
