You were born so dark (did I go to beach too often when I was pregnant) and tiny, maybe a bit too skinny since you came 3 weeks early. But your huge round eyes already proved you to be a handsome little guy. When the babies next to our room tried to shatter the hospital building by their non-stop crying, you remained so quiet looking around. I totally fell in love with your calm personality.
Every 3-hour feeding was not easy. Especially for you little hungry monster, it could sometimes be every 2 hours. Late night ones was the hardest. Like daddy like son, you were such an owl who wanted a little play time after every late night meal. With my very low energy level and your daddy's very low EQ level, how could we keep up with you little monster!!!! So, when daddy kept yelling at everything, I kept yelling at him. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Oh, how can I not mention about your "poop fountain"? Remember, poop and pee stay in diapers!!!! Not free-flying everywhere on the wall or carpet, not on mom's cloth definitely!!! You probably still had hard time to remember it, because you really enjoyed having your yellow-orange poop erupted like a very speedy rocket whenever I was changing your diaper. Though frustrated by the mess, I'd melt down right away when I saw your mischievous smile.
When you wake up in the morning, you love to play some 180-degree turn-around or roll-over games by yourself. By the time you see me come into your room, you smile! Ethan, it's your morning smiles that make mom get out of the bed right away no matter how tired I am.
Both daddy and mommy are so thrilled to witness your every happy moment. It makes us love you more than you could possibly know, and you will not understand until you have your own child. If you really want to enjoy parenthood like we do now, please don't have child when you are still a teenager. Or you will regret it.
Love,
Mommy
