Dear Levi,
Today we went to visit Dr. Talbot because you have not been feeling well and I miss seeing your sweet little smile! I have to admit, I never really thought it would bother me as much as it does to see you so sick. We've been lucky to avoid any sickness up until this point and I guess it's you're turn. Dr. Talbot said you have croup! You are congested, coughing, with a little bit of fever, and the typical stridor. I wish I could make you feel better but I guess I'll have to learn the hard way that my "momma powers" only go so far. :)
On another note, you are 5 months old! Oh my goodness! One minute I think, how in the world are you 5 months old? I feel like I kissed your little head for the first time maybe a week ago! The next minute, I feel like your dad & I have loved you for 10 years! I think we just love you so incredibly much that it doesn't seem right to have only known you for such a short time. You are rolling over, both ways, moving everywhere (although I still have yet to figure out how), laughing out loud, cooing, "dadadada"-ing, and you have certainly mastered the art of being so dang silly! You LOVE attention from anyone, anywhere! I can't believe you are such a flirt. You even make me blush! When you coo & smile & laugh at strangers, all I can do is laugh. I am so proud of you already. As your dad & I looked over our budget tonight, we had to remind ourselves a few times that you were a surprise! We kept saying, "Where is our money?" You have completely changed our lives & our bank accounts but we wouldn't have it any other way! I would live in a box if it meant I could call you mine.
Have you gotten the hint? We're crazy about you!
