You are 2 today. My baby is 2. It doesn't seem possible. I thought your first birthday came fast, but your second? That arrived at lightening speed. I can't help but think back to when I was pregnant with you and how different you were from your brother and sister. I had never ending morning sickness and because they could not see you clear enough on all of the many ultra sounds, I had to have weekly stress tests the whole last trimester. Little boy, you've been giving me hell since before you were born even born, and I wouldn't change you for anything.
My beautiful, beautiful boy. You are rambunctious. You were blessed with a fire-cracker attitude and a determination that is going to get you so far. You are brave and courageous. Funny and sweet. You are so funny. I laugh every day with you. You give the best hugs and kisses. You are the best cuddle buddy. You are a miracle. My miracle.
You have such an amazing sense of wonder that never ceases to amaze me. You're like a little sponge, trying to soak up everything you can. You try so hard to keep up with your brother and sister and want to be with them every chance you get. They can make you laugh harder than I ever thought was possible.
I love watching you splash in puddles, I love seeing your eyes light up when your brother and sister get home from school. I love the sloppy kisses we give each other a hundred times a day. I love that you hold my hand when we go on walks. So much has changed in the past year. You couldn't even walk at your last birthday but now you are running everywhere you go. You know your own name and have proven every hour of every day that you know mine. For the last two years, I have watched you grow from a sweet newborn to a beautiful toddler. I know you are growing up, the new things you pick up every day are a reminder of that but today still creeped up on me.
I won't pretend that parenthood is easy or I've been anywhere near perfect, but make no mistake, being your mom is a blessed job. And every second of every day, I'm thankful that you're mine and I'm yours. Happy birthday, baby. I love you more than you will ever know.
All my love,
Mama
