Happy First Birthday, Baby Boy!

I cannot believe that my little man is one today. This time a year ago, we were just able to get him out of the warmer and hold him. I had nursed him for the first time, and his tiny body was nestled deep in my arms. I was gazing at his ten tiny fingers, in amazement of God's power and love that He would bless us with such an amazing gift. Though I knew what it meant to love a child, I had no idea just what Andrew would add to our lives. People tried to explain it, but my relationship with Peyton is exactly the same but completely different from what I have with Andrew.

Baby boy, my little monkey, you have added so much to my world! You make each day a little brighter and we share such a special bond as Mother and Son. Every time you smile, laugh, cry, try something new, or just look into my eyes, I am reminded of the awesome responsibility Daddy and I have in raising you. I pray that you will grow to be a good, Godly, Christian man and that one day you are blessed with children of your own so that you will know this love. My cup runneth over. I love you and I am blessed to be your Mommy. I will always be here for you. Happy first birthday...and, God willing, many more to come!

P.S. Scroll to the bottom of my blog and you can see Andrew's birthday ticker!
