Happy Birthday Gavin!

Dear Gavin,
Today you are ONE year old! Wow, I can't believe that it has already been a year. I can't tell you how much this one year has changed my life. I never believed in love at first sight...that was until you came into my life. I took one look at you and knew that my life would never be the same again. You are my greatest accomplishment. I am blessed to be your mommy. You bring so much joy into our lives baby boy. Your smile lights up the room. You are so LOVED! You are now completely on whole milk. No more of that yucky formula for my growing boy. You also eat pretty much everything. We are having some sleep issues, but deep down I really like having you in our bed (shhh..don't tell dad). You are "cruising" around everywhere, but when it comes to walking on your own, you want nothing to do with it. Everyone says that one day you will just take off. We go to gymboree class once a week and you really enjoy it. You love to see the other kids there and you are pretty good at climbing all of their fun contraptions. You talk all day long and sometimes it sounds like you are really saying words. I swear you say dada, ball and no no. I had no idea what this first year was going to entail and I don't think anyone could ever explain it. I have learned so much from you. I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us. Happy Birthday Gavin! Mommy and Daddy love you more than you know.
