Happy 2 month birthday. To celebrate, we took away our vacation.
Say what? Took away? Yup. We had intended on going to Chicago for the weekend but then Daddy had to work 3rd shift on Thursday, so we didn't want to leave on Friday. Then Mommy started freaking out about you riding the dirty germ infested train and Daddy was worried about your big brother, Colin, having to walk the entire time in Chicago since you pull rank and would get the stroller. Add in that Mommy starts work on Monday, which is a whole another paragraph in its self, and we didn't want to set Grandma up to fail with two cranky boys, so we cancelled the trip. We are bummed and was really looking forward to having some family time but we really felt this was the smartest decision for you. You'll realize as you get older that you have to put others first. I mean you don't have to but if not people will think you are a selfish jerk and it won't make Mommy very happy.
So yes, Mommy goes back to work next week. To say I'm dreading it would be putting it mildly. While I'd be lying to say that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed not having to go to work, it's so much more than just not having to go there. As I said before, I'm going to miss our time together. Now Colin if you read this someday don't take this personally because you know I love you (forever and forever and forever!) but Elias there is just something about leaving you that breaks my heart. Knowing that we won't be together all day is a tough pill to swallow. Maybe it's because my maternity leave with you is shorter than my time with Colin. Maybe it's because I haven't really left you longer than a few hours to go shopping. Maybe it's because you are a Momma's boy; whatever the reason I don't want to leave you in a few days. But life is what life is. Cue cheesy singing! You take the good. You take the bad. You take them both and there you have the facts of life, the facts of life. 
Speaking of singing and music. You love music. You love to dance to it, smile at it, even fall asleep to it. It soothes you just as much as it excites you. Perhaps you'll be a musician. You love to babble. You are already respectful and wait your turn to speak but when you "have the floor" it's hard to get you to stop talking. Perhaps you'll be a motivational speaker or a pastor. You love to smile. You have a most contagious smile and dare I say become thee cutest baby ever when you flash a big gummy smile. Perhaps you'll be a model. You love to observe your surroundings. You follow objects, lights, and sound. You are becoming very attentive. Perhaps you'll be a photographer or a police officer. You love the outdoors and enjoy stroller rides in the park. You aren't a big fan of the wind but love taking in the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Perhaps you'll be world traveler. 
Perhaps you will be something different all together. But for now, you are my sweet little 2 month old baby. My little sweet pea. Colin's "little punky" which he claims is Elias in Spanish. Daddy's little buddy. You are my Elias Graham. My sweet sweet chubby faced boy, whom I adore more than anything in this world. Love Always,
Mommy
