Oh baby boy, I can hardly believe it's true - 12 months! We've spent an entire year together, and what a year it has been! I find myself trying so hard to remember those first few days/weeks together and it's all such a blur, I wish I could bottle up every moment with you and relive it all from time to time! Every month brings new experiences! You're growing and learning so much! This past month has been no exception. Your little personality shines! You are without question a stubborn little one, but you are also so full of happiness and laughter!! Thank you for making me a mama. These past 12 months have been the best of my life!
