9 months of love

It is hard to believe that my little guy is 9 months old already.  When I first laid eyes on him in the hospital I thought I felt all the love that I could for him right then and there.  I was surprised to realize that every day – every month I feel more and more love for this little guy.  I had heard other moms tell stories of how they didn’t feel the “love at first sight” moment with their newborns.  Looking back I think those first few days were just a blur, of course I was bonding with my baby from the start but it was nothing how I thought it would be.  Don’t get me wrong I loved my little guy from the instant I knew I was pregnant and even before but as time has gone on the love for him has grown to the point where I think I will burst and then just when I think I couldn’t love him anymore than I already do he does something and I feel myself swell with love for him.
