My Perfect Boy {Turned One}

My Boy, I just cannot believe you are a whole year old! You are my love. My life. I cannot believe I lived 29 whole years without you. Oh, I didn't know what I was missing all that time. You captured my heart the moment you entered my world.


Before you came, I swore I wanted only girls. I was terrified to have a boy. I didn't know what to do with a boy. I just wanted girls. I know what to do with a girl. We have all the same parts.... I'M girl.


But you. Oh, I am SO in love with YOU!!! I swear I'm never going to be able to give you away to a wife. You're MINE . All mine. :)


I love when you lay your little head on my shoulder. I love every little thing about you.


You amaze me with your appetite. You eat absolutely anything and everything we give you. I had no idea a baby could or would eat the way you do. I love it.


I love how your little personality is coming to life as you grow older. You're so funny, loving, and full of mischief.


And boy do you love your sister! Watching you together makes my heart smile. Playing in her room is one of your most favorite things to do. And she loves you so much too! As soon as she hears you make the first bit of noise in the morning, she runs to you, climbs into your crib and plays with you until Mommy comes to your rescue.


You are so loved.


Thank you so much for coming into my life, baby boy. You have added more to it than I could've ever hoped for.

This is Emma on Noah's birthday. Right before we went to his one year check-up.

Such a happy boy on his first birthday.

I look hideous, but really, I don't care, it's me and my boy.

Daddy and his boy.
