as i sit here on the eve of your first birthday, i can't help but weep at the thought of you turning one. one whole year has gone by since that beautiful day in october when we welcomed you into the world. i should be jumping for joy that we made it a year. that we survived. and while that thought does make me somewhat proud, more than anything i am just so sad at how fast you are growing up on me. i wish i could keep you my baby forever.
sammy, you are such a sweet, spirited boy who brings so much love, happiness and laughter into our home. i always tell people that you are either happy, or sad, and it isn't hard to tell the difference! you are either a ball of giggles and endless smiles, or screaming your head off. haha and although that can sometimes be frustrating (like when we don't know why you are screaming) i love that you are a little person that knows what he wants and just goes for it. you remind me so much of your daddy, sweet boy, and yes, that scares me just a bit, but it also makes my heart smile. i can't wait to see your personality grow and watch the changes that will take place in you in the months and years to come.
you have a big brother who still adores you, even if it is sometimes hard to tell. ;) finn thinks the world of you, and always goes around the house searching for "baby sam." he listens for you when you're napping, and usually hears you before i do, and barges right in your room with a big smile on his face to say hello. no one can put a smile on your face like finn, and that makes me so happy and proud as a mama. your relationship is definitely developing and growing stronger, and i can tell the two of you are going to be the best of friends. a dream come true for me. :)
your dad and i love and adore you more than you'll ever know, dear boy. one of our very favorite things about you is how easy it is to make you smile and laugh. it makes us feel so good, and always brightens our days. we are constantly saying how you just get cuter every day, and how we love watching your personality grow and develop. you are silly, sweet, feisty and easy going, all at the same time. you have an infectious giggle, and a twinkle in your eye. you truly are one-of-a-kind, and we are so grateful to have you in our lives. i've said it before, and i'll say it a million times more, i can't imagine my life, or our family, without you in it. thanks for brightening every day and making this world a better place.
happy ONE year. i love you to the moon and back.
love,
mom
