It All Started with a Spoon!!!

Dear Elijah,
Oh my Elijah, you sure did through mommy and daddy for a loop last night! You were so tired that you were so confused about your own emotions! You would laugh into a cry, or cry into a laugh. Hahahaha, it was crazy. Well, I got you to settle down and was feeding you some yummy mango. You have been trying to be more independent lately which had already led to you to hold your own bottle!!! That was exciting. I got a picture of that very moment. :) Also, you have been grabbing everything in sight. You have been trying sit up by yourself too, but are not quite ready to do that without someone helping a little ;) Well, last night you grabbed your spoon while I was feeding you, and tried to do it yourself. Well, I was not really thinking, and I didn't want you to make a huge mess, so I took the spoon from your little hands and you looked at me with such a sad face and started to cry, which turned to screaming. SO SAD!!! I felt horrible! You were just trying to learn, and mommy rained on your learning parade! hahahahahahaha. I tried everything to make you feel better. I tried to give you your spoon back, didn't work... Tried to rub your back and talk you down, didn't work... Tried to kiss you and hug you, didn't work... Tried to feed you, didn't work... Finally I gave you a book, and you started playing with it, and stopped crying. That is until you couldn't grab the pictures out of the book... Then you started crying again! So I did the only thing I know could make you happy. I gave you a bath! Best decision ever! You had so much fun splashing around and laughing in the bath tub. You were just so happy and that made mommy sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy! After your bath you were in such a better mood till you finally fell asleep in your daddy's arms. He put you to bed and walked into the room I was in and said... "what a handful," I answered... "yes, he was something else tonight!" hahahahahaha... You were passed back and forth between the two of us more than any other night! Taking turns trying to calm you down and keep you happy. :) gosh you're cute! You melt my heart and I love taking care of you. You have the most precious cry and sad face which makes it all the more sad when you cry :( but OH SO CUTE! aaaah we love you babe!
