You came to me, one year ago after 4 hours of glorious labor, out you came plump and pink, with dark fuzzy hair. I held you in my arms, nursed you, and fell in love. You were mine. All 9 pounds and 21 inches of you were all mine. My Santiago.
Just one year ago, you were a newborn, swaddled tight and seeing the world for the first time. Today you are almost walking, started potty training, giving kisses and eating macaroni & cheese. I can't wait to witness your personality continue to bloom and share new experiences and milestones with you.
You have brought so much joy into my life and those around you. Your smile and giggles are so contagious. I am convinced you are the most beautiful, brilliant, amazing child in the world.
Life before you my dear child? I can't remember. . .
Happy first Birthday!! Love you eternally,
Mom
just a few minutes old.
