Dear Nathan,

Today you are 6 days old and I'm already realizing how big you are getting.  You've already had your first bath (okay it was more of a sponge bath) and your umbilical cord has fallen out.  Grandma brought a bunch of new clothes with her and some of the newborn size ones fit you just right--and I fear not for long!  How can you already be getting so big in such a short time?  So many of Mommy's friends have told me to cherish this time with you and believe me, I am!  When I was a little girl I told my own Mommy that I wanted to create a magic potion that would keep my baby a baby forever.  Maybe I can still create it...and quick!

Love,
Mommy
