Dear Baby Mack-
Today you are officially 14 weeks old. However, seeing as you were born on your due date and knowing from the time of conception a baby spends approximately 38 weeks in the womb you are really about a year old. It's hard to imagine that already you have been part of our lives for a whole year. Albeit most of that time was spent in my belly but believe me you transformed our lives even then.
I could never have imagined that you would have the ability to make my heart grow bigger every day nor could I have imagined your amazing ability to shoot poop from the changing pad far enough to hit the opposite wall. It's hard for me to believe that you are able to sleep through the jackhammer noise from across the street, that your smile can still leave me breathless, that you can hold and shake a rattle, that you listen so intently while your Daddy reads to you and that just yesterday you rolled from your belly to your back.
Already it seems you're growing up too fast.
