Dear Cruz

How is it possible that we have been so lucky to be your parents for 9 months now. You have grown up so much since our 4 lb. baby in the NICU.

- More than the others, you love to eat! You probably wouldn't stop if I didn't make you. You love all bottles, baby food, etc. You get very upset when you've woken up and we haven't given you your bottle fast enough. You cry in between almost every bite because you can't believe that I would try to feed your brother and sister at the same time and not just focus only on feeding you. You open your mouth and shake your head until it's your turn again. Your favorite would have to be the new sweet potato puffs we got. I think you might be obsessed. It's pretty funny to watch you.
- You open your mouth big and wide when you smile and it's adorable. You love to show off your two teeth.
- It's undeniable, your hair is out of control. No matter what I do, that back of your hair sticks straight up and cannot be tamed.
- You too are moving pretty good these days.
- Unfortunately you love to steal from your sister too. What is it with you two?
- You are very easy to tickle and your Mom loves to tickle you every single day. Your laugh is absolutely contagious!
- You love your toys, especially the basketball hoop your Grandpa Green got you.
- Sometimes I think you're just going to start walking on me, you stand up so good and it's amazing how strong you are. You definitely got the strong Bell thighs.
- Your eyes are big and a blueish grey. They melt your mother.
- You've got great facial expressions always and right now you're shaking your head at your mom and it's so cute!
- You are very sweet and have started talking a lot lately. We can't wait to know what you're thinking.

We love you Cuz, Cuz. We can't tell you how much we love being with you, watching you grow, and hearing your laugh.


Love, Mom and Dad
