Someone is one!

Today my dear, a special little boy turns one and that boy, my love, is you. 

I could say your smile lights up a room, it does, but it also melts my heart because when you smile, your soul shines thru your eyes.  My love you are a charmer. 

Coming after a loss, you reminded me that the miracle of life really is just that, an amazing miracle that makes our family complete. I've loved watching you grow and morph from baby boy just chillin and watching everything go by into a little boy who wants to get into the thick of things.  

You've had your ups and downs this year, some kinks needed to be worked out, balls to be put back where they belong, legs to getta workin, food a swallowin, but look at how far you've come! 

No longer are you that tiny little baby who needed help sitting! Now you're taking over the playroom, one lego tower at a time and terrorizing your brothers.

God willing, you'll grow big and tall. 

Smart and strong like your daddy, witty and sharp like your mommy. 

You will back talk and do things that will drive me mad. 

There will be days {perhaps weeks and months} that I am certain you have been taken over by an obnoxious zombie, but I will always remember your sweet baby days.  How you love to clap your hands, playing peek a boo with anything, your new love of cleaning up and closing doors, proof you are your fathers child.

You're becoming your own person and its a joy to watch.  Even if your person is going to be stubborn and headstrong like all the rest of the males in this house.  

I love you my dear, my sweet little bubba, my third little boy, you will always be my baby and I will always be your momma. No matter how big you get.
