Happy Birthday Jackson!

Dear Jackson,

Today you are one year old! I cannot believe how fast the last 12 months have gone and how much you have grown. I remember how scared I was that day that you came so early. I can still close my eyes and remember every wrinkle and every smell as they put your tiny little body in my arms. And at that moment, every fear melted away for a second and I knew my life would never be the same. You came into this world strong and determined and have not let up since. You have shown me the depths of God's love and I am forever grateful for the gift of being your Mother. You are such a kind little boy. You pet the neighbors dog so carefully and you love playing with your friends. You and Daddy are BEST FRIENDS. You love to watch him shave and put things together and go on walks. And boy, does he love you too! I love the way you LOVE to snuggle, I love the way your face lights up when I come get you from your nap. I love the way you take both hands and pull my face into yours. You are a typical boy that is for sure and you have plenty of bumps and bruises to prove it! Every month has been more amazing watching you change and grow. For months my heart melted with joy as you said 'Dada" but there are no words to describe how incredible the word "Mama" can be! You are the joy of my life Jackson. And as much as I wish you would stay my baby forever, I cannot wait for all the adventures to come. Happy birthday sweet boy! May every year be as wonderful as this first one was! I love you to the moon and back!

Love,
Mommy xoxo


The day you were born.....

one year later.

Happy Birthday Jackson!
