Cuddlebug

From the moment I knew he was on his way I loved him.

I was more excited and more in love with his pregnancy. I was never ambivalent about it. I never doubted it. Once I made up my mind to have him I never looked back.

From the moment Jon said "Hello, boy" I was hooked. He has been more loving, more sweet, more patient and easier than she ever was. His whole first year has been different. Granted, he's been sick and I've had to watch everything he eats and he's been a whole lot more expensive, but he's swwet and gentle.

He'll be one tomorrow and I can't believe it. It's been a year of ups and downs for all of us, but I won't complain. Tomorrow I will be watching him eat cake and I will be thankful and grateful and full of love for this little man.

Happy first birthday Cuddlebug. You fill up my heart and my arms. You are a joy in my life and I love you more than there are words to express. You have made your sister smile and giggle and you have allowed me to mother you.

You have completed our family and I thank God for all that you are.
