Congratulations! You have survived an entire year with me as your mother. Despite being in the care of two people who had no idea what they were doing, you appear to be a happy, healthy, and very chubby child. You also seem to be very good at playing by yourself with your toys. This is a trait that blends well with our parenting style, which is to let you entertain yourself for as long as possible while mommy & daddy watch TV or play on the computer. You eat anything we put in front of you, have been sleeping through the night since month #2, and love being out in public either shopping or in restaurants. These are also very great traits considering mommy & daddy LOVE eating, sleeping, and shopping (well mommy loves to shop, daddy not so much).
In all seriousness, I wanted to write you a long letter expressing how much you mean to me and how much I love you. I wanted to explain to you how much joy & light you have brought to my life in 1 short year. I spent so much time thinking about what I would say. When it came time to put these thoughts into words I realized that I couldn't. There are no words for true love. All that I know is when I see you or think about you, I lose my breath. When I am away from you, I long to see you and to hold you. You are amazing, you are my world, and I love you. The truth is, the day you were born, was hands down, the best day of my life.
Happy 1st Birthday!
I love you!
Mom
