Day 1
Day 365
This time last year (7:41 PM) you were born and our lives forever changed! You caused your mama a good amount of pain (and everyone says you forget the pain, somehow I have not)! You have been the greatest joy I have ever experienced while also being my greatest challenge. Being a mom is not always easy but you are my greatest reward! On the days I feel like I am a bad mom and wonder if I can do this whole thing called "motherhood," I look at you and it all melts away!
You have changed so much this past year and I am often amazed at the skills you now have: babbling, crawling, walking, exploring...always exploring. And you are a total goofball, you constantly make us laugh with your expressions and silly noises! You are always moving and always see everything, you don't miss a trick! You love to yell, usually with joy, and you ALWAYS let us know what you want! You definitely have a distinct personality budding...full of charm and wit and strong feelings (just like your mama).
Thank you for all you have added to our lives. I feel like God chose me to me your mom and I feel so blessed. I love you Milo Jude and cannot wait to continue to watch you grow!
At the zoo on the big day!
