My sweet Ben,
I've had the idea to start a collection of letters for you and your sister, but, as with many things, did not get it started as early as I would have liked. But last night, as you lay cuddled in my arms, nestled between Daddy and me and breathing your sweet, milky baby breath on my cheek, I couldn't wait any longer because I do not want to forget moments like that, and I need a place to write them down so that one day, I can share them with you. So here we are, one day before you turn five months old. I will use this blog (will blogs even exist when you read this for the first time??) to write a letter to you each year on your birthday, and any time in between when the muse strikes.
