First Birthday Letter

Dear Evan-

Happy birthday, little man! I can hardly believe that you are already one. I just put you to bed and can still hear you talking and singing to Curious George, Pooh Bear and your other friends in your crib. We had a wonderful day today with lots of family and friends celebrating you! You enjoyed your party as much as we did. It was a perfect day, even if the weather didn't quite cooperate.

I am amazed by you each and every day. In just one short year, you have learned so much. You are great at feeding yourself and drinking from a sippy cup. You crawl everywhere! Even places you aren't supposed to (like up the stairs). You are great at standing and walking around while holding on and I know you will be walking on your own in no time at all. Your vocabulary is growing everyday. Some of your favorite words are dada, mama, ball, wow, beep-beep and hi. You mimic everything you see and hear and you LOVE to dance! We are having so much fun watching you learn and seeing the world through your eyes.

I can't believe that just one year ago, I had only known you for an hour. I knew I loved you but had no idea how much. The last year has been filled with many emotions but mostly with love. I feel so blessed to have you for my son. You are such a sweet, loving little boy with an infectious smile and laugh. While not every moment of every day is easy, it is all worth it! There are times when I feel as though my heart will just burst from the love I feel for you. I guess your dad and I must have done something right along the way to be lucky enough to deserve you. You have already brought so much joy into our lives. I can't wait to see what the next year brings for you and for us as a family!

I love you more than you will ever know. Sleep tight my little one.

Love always, Momma.
