My sweet sweet baby boy,
Wow, it is hard to believe that only a short 18 months ago we were meeting you for the very first time! The love I have for you seems as though you have been in our lives forever! I can not believe that in only 18 months you have captured my heart and totally redefined my idea of true unfailing love. You are honestly the most amazing gift that I could ever have received and I thank God every single day that he allows me to be your mom. Each day is such an adventure and I love that I get to spend it with my little buddy by my side. You have such a vibrant personality that makes your dad and I laugh constantly. You are a man of mystery to many but to your dad and I, you are an open book. You pick and chose who you open up to but once you do, you are the sweetest most fun little boy around. I secretly love that you have to warm up to others and don’t give your love away to just anyone! Your love is precious and deserves to be a prize! I hope you remember that always! You are growing and learning new things daily. It is crazy how quick you pick up on things (especially physically) and surprise us with your new tricks every day. I have no doubt that you will be a little athlete and excel at whatever you put your mind to. You are our fearless little monkey and I love it! You can hang in there with your older cousins and are tough as nails. If you are playing and fall down, you pop right back up and continue on with out a whimper. You are mommy’s “big guy” as we like to call you! Honestly, the only time you cry is when you hear the word no! ha! You are soooo independent and hate to be told that you aren’t aloud to do something. Your independence is wonderful but also scary at times too! The other day, we were outside and you were exploring like usual and decided to take a little walk. Being your independent self, I let you walk and walk because I wanted to see how far you would actually go by yourself before you looked back to make sure someone was with you. Well to my surprise, you made 4 houses down and had no intentions of turning back or seeing if you had mom or dad by your side. You were perfectly happy by your self and probably would have walked 10 more houses down had I not gone and grabbed you. I always say that if you and the dogs get out of the house together, its bad news because you both would put your noses to the ground and not look up until the next county. It would be like the movie Homeward Bound all over again! Speaking of your dogs, man do you love them! They bring so much joy to your life and you love getting to play with them any chance you get! Your favorite thing to do with them lately is feed them! You think it is so fun to throw your food off your high chair and watch them devour it! You also love when they lick all the crumbs off your hands! You think its so funny and honestly its adorable to watch you interact with them. I cant wait until this summer when you are playing in the back yard with them and truly get to enjoy them!
This summer will be a special and exciting time for you! It will be your second birthday and also the arrival of your little sister! There will be lots of changes but I want you to know that one thing that will not change is the love we have for you bug! You will always be our precious little boy and mommy’s first baby! And while you may not technically be the baby of the house anymore, you will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart being my first born. I hope you know that we wanted to give you a sibling close in age so that you could always have a best friend and special bond. I can not wait to see you as big brother and know you are going to make the best one ever! You are going to take on the special role being her friend and protector and I know you are going to be her idol! She will look up to you from the day she is born till the day she dies and I am so happy that you two will have each other! You are such a special little boy and I am so blessed that you are mine! I love you more than words could ever describe and I hope you always know that! You are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I fall asleep! Like the book that we read always says, “I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as im living, my baby you’ll be!”
