One year. Only one year that you have been with us, and it already seems like a life time. You've made a pair of adults into a tripod of a family, and for that our lives have been forever changed. It's hard to image that at exactly this time last year, an amazing little boy was brought into our lives and we couldn't stop staring at incredible gorgeous you. You know what? It's been a year and we still can't keep our eyes off you. It's impossible to imagine not having you in our lives.
I've enjoyed your babyness every day. Cuddling you, nourishing you with my body, entertaining you, reading to you (even when sometimes you don't have the patience for it), and showing you new things in the world. I've loved every moment of it.
You have just become mobile in the past few months, and it's taken us a bit by surpise. You are a very curious little boy, with a love of water -whether it be the shower, or the swimming pool (or to our dislike...the toliet bowl). You are fascinated by big trucks and playing with anything that can be pushed along the ground - you even have your own sound effects to go with this. You are also very strong willed. Although you know the meaning of 'no' you like to test us as parents, and it's hard not to cave in when your cuteness distracts us. Never fear, my little boy - we will perserve.
On your first birthday we've attended the party of your friend Juliette who is one day older than you (her mom even made you a small cake!) We'll open up your cards, and read them to you one by one, before hanging them up on your wall. We've had quite an exciting few days with the holidays and you have a lounge room of new toys, so we will wait to throw a party for you next month.
Your smile can make the greyest of days seem like summer. The laughter you protrude is music to my ears. I could not love you more, I could not be more proud, I could not imagine an accomplishment more magnificant than being your mother. We can not wait to see what type of person you become over the next year.
Love,
Your Mommy
At Juliette's Birthday Party (look at the little 'L' cake that her mom Chelsea made for you)
Showing Juliette how to eat cake (look at that nasty bruise on my leg! I dropped a weight on it by accident)
And how to play with cake!
