My Baby Blake,
... can I still call you that?
You'll always be my baby ...
Happy Birthday to you!
You are one years old today.
How can that be?
I
am reminiscing on the day you were born. It was an amazing day ... of
course, there were the normal jitters but it was a planned birth ...
and before we knew it, our family was forever changed.
What an incredible year it has been ... simply remarkable.
You
are such a bright star - one of our greatest delights. You have the
sweetest personality ... winner of the worlds BEST smile ... very good
natured. You are so patient - especially with your sister who tends to
yank the "best" toys out of your tiny hands ... they are, apparently,
"Sophie's toys" and you are most welcome to play with them after she's
done. Even with all the patience in the world, sometimes that reasoning
doesn't fly.
Despite that, your sister STILL adores you and you STILL adore her. In
the mornings, neither of you smile until you see each other. I love
that. I hope that you will always have a special smile for each other.
You
are so curious. It's good ... and bad. I've stopped you from the
possibilities of electrocuting yourself by nearly sticking your fingers
to investigate the electrical socket ... or the times I saved you from
the (many, many, many) attempts to exit the house to explore the great
outdoors. Somehow I think baby proofing is on the (very ... immediate)
horizon.
You're babbing a lot lately. I swear you say, "Gung Gung",
which is your grandpa ... but otherwise, you just babble away.
The
past week, you've started to stand and cruise around, holding on firmly
to the couch or any hard surface that you can reach. You love standing
and reaching for toys or anything we've tried to "hide" from you. I've
even caught you climbing Sophie's chair ... trying to take a peek out
the window. Fortunately for me, you're not quite tall enough ... yet.
Soon enough Blake, soon enough.
I pray that you will always have that
sunny disposition and precious laugh ... forever and always.
May you always know how very much
we LOVE you and are PROUD of you!
I love you Mr. B
Yours ... forever and always,
Mommy
