Julius,

Everyone that meets you comments on what a happy baby you are. I’ve never really met “angry” babies per se, but I have met babies who seemed unsatisfied. It means a great deal to me that in these very first stages of your life, you have a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, and if you cry you’ll know someone will be there. Later on in life, there will definitely be suffering and disappointment - it’s all part of appreciating love when you find it - but for now, it’s my goal to keep you in a peaceful bubble. I’ll do everything I can to protect you, keep you safe, and hold you as long as it takes so you know I’ll be there for you. When you smile at people, it’s as though you’re beginning to recognize who they are. Those who pick you up days after holding you are greeted with your contagious smile. It really does light the whole room up. I can’t believe you’re real. You’re REAL. You’re REAL!! Real real real.

Love
Mom
