Hey, my big boy! I am writing to you to simply let you know how much I love you. Right now you are just about 13 months old. We celebrated your first birthday a few weeks ago, and I can't tell you how fast time seems to pass when you're busy with a newborn. This year has been the best year of my life, and I have only you to thank for that. I can't wait until you are old enough to have a conversation with me. I'm sure whatever you have to say will be witty, because even without words you are the funniest person I know. I'd like to think you got that from me, although I am sure you did not. I started writing a couple of months ago, and it's funny because I never thought I had what it took to write, but I soon discovered that as long as it was about you, I could write forever. So, I thought it would be cool that if you wanted to read my blogs or my journal one day you could, and you could know me as your 23 year old mother instead of the old woman you might otherwise only think of me as. That may seem silly, but maybe this will help us to grow closer and stronger in our relationship and you won't be tempted to run away from home and do stupid things when you are a teenager like I did when I was younger.
I love you more then you will ever know,
-Your Mom
