Today I woke up & my baby was ONE. One year ago today, a month before my due date you decided to make an appearance into the world and it has changed our lives for the better. You made me a mommy and I am forever grateful you chose us to be your parents. My oh my what a year it has been. Felt endless and extremely fast at the same time. There were days and nights that felt endless, but we always managed to get by. Holding & loving you is so effortless. You taught me to let go of the little things. You taught me that innocence is precious. You taught me PATIENCE.  Most importantly you taught me how to love unconditionally

You challenged me a lot in the first few months, but this made me stronger. We spent a few nights in the hospital the first week we brought you home because of jaundice. You had reflux the first 4 months of life, which felt never ending. Here we are today and you are such a happy little dude! Your dance moves are my favorite, you love to clap your hands, drool all day long, scream as loud as you can, bite me (but its okay because you are teething), play the “Im gonna getchu” game, run around with your little piggy and eat until I cut you off. You are such a good eater, you have yet to turn something down. Don’t ever change! I have so much fun dressing you, you are known for your hats! I love that you keep them on. 




I remember bringing you home for the first time like it was yesterday. A day I will never forget! The day you made us a mommy and daddy, we will cherish that day forever. Stay you, little one. The world is a better place with you in it. Happy First Birthday my baby!
