A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Happy 1st birthday William!

I love you so much my littlest boy! I held you in my wishes, dreams, and prayers for years. I carried you under my heart for about 8 months. I have held you in my heart and in my arms for 1 whole year! I love you so much William that when I think about it my heart swells with so much joy. I love to be your mommy so very much! It brings me joy everyday!

William you are now:
Drinking out of a sippy cup. You decided you hated your bottle and that was it.
When you don't like something you blow a rasberry and shake your head no.
You are walking and almost running.
You love to stand at the bottom of the stairs and yell to Nic and JJ.
You love having books read to you. Sometimes I think we read 50 books a day.
You don't like mommy to sit on the couch, I have to sit on the floor with you. At the end of the day mommy has a sore butt. But I know this will only last such a short time so I love every minute playing with you on the floor!
You help mommy clean up. I sing the clean up song and hand you a toy and you follow me with your toys to the basket.
You love bananas and mommy's banana bread.
We play head shoulders knees and toes. It makes you laugh and you point to your own head and toes.
You still like to feed the dogs and pet them.
You love grill cheese.
You love to knock over block towers and sometimes you don't even wait until the tower has finished being built.
You love to push your blue hippo walker, play your piano, and push your wagon full of blocks.

William you bring sunshine love and laughter to my life everyday! I can't believe that you are 1 year old today! Happy birthday my baby boy! I love you to the moon and back 1 million 5 thousand times. And yes that is a lot!
