You've captured my heart.

 With the first glance, you had captured all our hearts, little boy.
Liam Benjamin was born on April 16th 2012, at 7:53pm.
7lbs, 4 oz, 21 inches long.
He has long legs & fingers-- he definitely has apart of his Daddy in him.
We heard your cries before we saw your face & hearing your healthy, loud cry made all our hearts skip a beat.
{Little bean,
you are beauty. You are tiny & fragile, but the arms that have been holding you are safe, little one. They are protective. They are loving.
You couldn't have entered a more loving family sweet boy. & you are only 1 day & 3 hours old & i believe you're already the most photographed baby ever.
You have hair, soft beautiful hair & tiny ears.
I waited patiently in the waiting room for everyone to hold you & then it was my turn...I could have held you forever. No one ever told me that being an Auntie was this incredible. I knew the wait would be well worth it.
I couldn't take my eyes off of you.}

You entered two loving parents that will always care for you & protect you. You are their first. Their new love. Their new beginning. You are a product of the both of them & with that you carry some pretty great genes. --You will have attentive & willing parents. They've prepared for you, bean. They've read the books & went to the classes & in nine months your little Momma protected you in her little womb. She held you & kept you safe. She felt your first kick & she felt your last. She felt your hiccups & she lost sleep for you when you decided you wanted to wake up & move around in the night.

They have dreamt of you & every night they prayed over & for you.
They thought up your name & decided on Liam Benjamin.
Benjamin is your Daddy's middle name, what a strong name to carry with you. Make sure you have people respect you & be proud of your name. You were placed in this family for a reason, every little detail, God placed in you.
He picked out--
your eye color.
your hair color.
how long your fingers will be.
How tall you'll be someday.
your facial features.
your smile.
...Every detail about your handsome little self, God made. He created you into being. He wrote your name in the Lamb's book of life & sent you to us. Oh how precious you are.

I will enjoy being here for your journey of life, little boy. To see you grow, to see you walk & talk & call me Auntie for the first time. I look forward to your smiles & squeals & giggles. & the day you become a big brother. & have your first date & then get married. & have a child of your own & stand there in the family waiting room holding your bundle of joy, just as your Daddy had done last night & looked more proud then he's ever been. --I look forward to being here for it all, little bean.

I love you, darling boy.

-Auntie-Han-Han.
