O-N-E

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him - 1 Samuel 1:27

I know everyone says this, but it really does seem like just yesterday... Just yesterday I was being told by the doctor that it was time for a repeat c-section and that we would be meeting our baby that day.

I still look at this precious child every single day in complete amazement.  How his chest rises and falls when he breaths, how his long lashes flare out, how he crinkles his nose when he smiles really big and how his blue eyes completely captivate me.  I still feel overwhelmed at the thought that he grew inside me... from the size of something smaller than a grain of rice to a 6lb bundle of joy.  Amazed that he's a walking, babbling and playing.  Amazed that he was entrusted in our care for as long as the Lord wills it.

Sweet Noah, 

We have loved every second of being a part of your life.  You have made our days full of smiles and excitement.  Every day we watch you grow and change.  We see the developments of your spirit, curiosity and perseverance.

Our love for you grows deeper and deeper every single day and we are better people for having you in our lives.   We love you to the moon and back and
can't wait to see how amazing and exciting being O-N-E can be.  

Happy First Birthday, Big Boy!
