Dear Griffin,

My little rascal, So you were having a hard time falling asleep tonight. Just playing and tossing and turning on my lap, doing whatever you could do to keep yourself awake. Well I finally got you to calm down a little and I’m rocking with you, singing “our song”. I finish the song and you [...]

454 That’s how many days since the day you were born. That’s how many days I’ve been madly in love with you. Mommy
