My Birthday Boy,
It is unbelievable to me that you are 1! As I reflect on your BIRTHday just one year ago, March 17th 2011, I am filled with so many different emotions. It was the best day of my life, Josiah. When I finally figured out that I was in labor with you, I was super excited, a little nervous, yes, but mostly excited! Your daddy & I couldn't wait to meet you & hold you & take care of you. Josiah Daniel, your first breath took ours away. We couldn't believe how beautiful you were, a perfect miracle from God. We were in awe. We were in love. And we couldn't believe you were ours, God is so good! From that moment on our lives were forever changed & we would be forever grateful for our beautiful firstborn son. I will never forget those first few days of your life, Josiah, they were so special. We tried to soak up every moment, knowing how fast time goes by.
It's amazing how much you have grown & changed in just one short year... from being a newborn infant who was completely dependent on me, to this little boy, a toddler, who can walk & say words. Who no longer needs to be nursed, bottle fed or rocked to sleep. A little boy who loves life, is so determined to figure things out & accomplish new things, who is strong willed & independent. But also a little boy who is so loving, compassionate, & such a sweetheart. We are starting to see your fun-loving personality shine & we love it! You love to laugh & make people laugh. I think you are gonna be the "funny" guy, the class clown. You are the king of expressions, you have a face for everything, & its so cute! We love that about you Josiah. Thank you for making us smile : )
Life as we knew it completely changed that day, March 17, 2011 & I wouldn't have it any other way. Even though we have hard days & bad days, the good days far outweigh any of them & I am so thankful to our God for allowing me to be your Mama. I can't imagine my life without you, Josiah. I love you to the moon & back. I'll love you forever & always, & as long as I'm living, my baby you will be.
Happy 1st Birthday Boy! I love you! XoXo Mama XoXo
