All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

Dear Brantley~

We decided to stay in Paragould one more day and head back to Cabot today. Although you had a super cute outfit that was perfect for church, none of the rest of us had church clothes. So we stayed at Nana and Papa's while they went to church. After church we went to Chili's to eat with Nana, Papa, Nucle Zac, Nucle Jeremy, Aunt Tara, and Jax. We were waiting for our seat when I suddenly noticed you had two new teeth coming in. Your top two front teeth have broken through and are shining pretty. Just as I said it Daddy noticed, too. Then Nana was so excited for you and had to see. You're getting them all quickly now that you've finally started getting them. 

When we got home we had so much fun pulling out your new toys and beginning to put them together... and you had fun trying to figure out what to play with as we kept putting new ones in front of you. It's so exciting to see you discovering new things and trying to figure out how they work. 

Now on to getting ready for your birthday next Sunday!

I Love You!!!!

What Heaven Must Be Like

Dear Brantley~

This morning you got up at 4:45am and wouldn't go back to sleep. I was in the living room with Asher, so Daddy took you into our bedroom to give you a bottle and try to get you back to sleep. It didn't work. By about 8am you were cranky as all get out from being so sleepy. Around 8:30 I was nursing Asher in the recliner, and you crawled over, climbed up, and were fussing trying to get into the chair with me. So I put Asher in his sleeper that was next to me, and I picked you up and put you in my lap. You curled up to me but kept fussing. So daddy fixed a bottle and brought it to me. You took about one ounce and you were out! You slept in my arms for 2 hours. You would have kept sleeping, but we had to get you to sleep. As you laid in my arms sleeping so peacefully and putting all your trust in me to keep you comfortable and safe, I told Daddy that must be what heaven is like because I sure felt like I was in heaven. Hopefully I don't leave you to go to heaven until I am an old lady, but if I do I want you to always know that I will be right there with my arms wrapped around you at all times. Holding you in my arms is heaven, so in heaven I will always keep you wrapped in my arms.

I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know!!!!!!!
