Oh what a year it has been so far baby boy! It seems like just yesterday we were eagerly waiting for you to make your way into this crazy world. We were so scared of what your first days would be like but full of hope and faith that we were putting you in the best hands possible. You are such a miracle and I am amazed by you ever day. Your name means strong-willed and you are definitely living up to it. You have such an amazing personality already. You are smart but mischievous, you are tender-hearted but strong-willed, you are a flirt but sometimes shy, you are a mama's boy but think your daddy hung the moon, you love to snuggle but are always on the move, you can melt your mommy's heart one minute and be in trouble the next. Every day you are doing something new and I wish that I could just freeze time and keep you my sweet little baby boy forever. Please know we love you so very, very much and are so blessed to be your parents.
You are our sweet miracle and this is our prayer for you...
Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way.
All of our love,
Mommy & Daddy
PS: The prayer is the words to a song by Sidewalk Prophets that I love to sing to you as we dance around the kitchen in the mornings. I can not hear it without saying a little prayer for you. I will be sure to save it and play it for you one day.
