Jack's First Birthday

Letter to Jack on his first birthday.

Dear Jack,

I can hardly believe a whole year has passed since you came into this world. My memory of your arrival is still so clear in my mind and in some ways feels like it was only a few months ago. You have brought so much joy into our lives- the smiles and the laughter in our home have increased exponentially since your arrival. You have been such a sweet and happy baby and you just go with the flow. You are always watching the action, taking it all in and are more observant than I sometimes realize. You are a cuddly little boy and you love to snuggle, which makes a mom feel good! Even when a lot of the snuggle time occurs in the middle of the night.... speaking of, you seem to finally be getting the hang of sleeping through the night. Yay! You LOVE to play with your big brother and do everything you can to make him laugh. And, he loves to make you laugh too. You feed off of each other so much. And once Dad gets involved, well, you are all laughing so much you can hardly breathe. You have four teeth, you're walking, you're climbing anything you can... you love to crawl as fast as you can down the hall to Davis' room to play with his toys... laughing the whole way down the hall.
