To my Buddy,
Right now, 9:12 PM, you are 1 and 1/2 years old. I cannot believe how old you look and act. To think... 1 year ago, you couldn't crawl or tell me no! You are as close to perfect as you can get. You are gorgeous, smart, quiet, fun, calm, goofy, lovey, smiley, and so many other things. I am seriously contemplating having another baby because you are so perfect and life is so easy with you. There is no way I could be blessed with 2 perfect babies, right?

****Things I love about you****

You sing all the time. You sing "I love you!" and everyone around you melts

You don't pee on me when your diaper is off. I really appreciate that Holdy :)

You don't fight me when I need to give you medicine, which has been a lot this month!

I love watching you watch people and soak it all in.

I love when you sit on Bre's lap while she plays Sims.

You listen so well. Most of the time you will do exactly what I tell you.

You go to bed at 7:30 and will play in your bed until I get up to get you.

I love to cuddlebug you.

I love how you sing "Rocka, Rocka" as I rock you to sleep at night (which I will do until you are 30 if you will let me!)

I love how you rarely cry when you fall down.

You still have that quiet laugh when you're tired and I bite your hands or tickle your face with my hair. I love that laugh.

I love that you don't cry when I drop you off at any of the Grandmas' houses.

You're a people person and don't get too clingy when there are people around. You smile at anyone and everyone.

I love that you let me brush your teeth.

I love when you try to make a bunny nose, but all you do is squint your eyes.

You hug kids you don't even know at the Dr office. Which is probably why we all got the flu this month.

I love when you sit on my lap and do your make up with me while I get ready.

I love walking into your room in the morning and you are always reading a book.

I love reading you books at night before bed. We've read 2 Shel Silverstein poem books and you like them just as much as the books with pictures.

You understand everything I say.

I love when I ask you for a bite and you let me bite you.

I love kissing the bridge of your nose.

I love kissing the spot between your ear lobe and your cheek.

I love kissing you period.

I love laying in bed with you and laughing while we tickle each other.

I love when you say No in that matter of fact, sing-song way.

I love that when we take you to Rock Creek Pizza, your so content. But any other restaurant, you want to run all over the place.

I love your crazy, curly hair.

I love when you sing, "Ho Ho Ho, who wouldn't go!"

I love watching you and Daddy play.

I love you.

I love you, I love you, I love you. You have no idea. Everything in the world can be wrong but I know that as long I have you, I'm okay. I want you to stop growing but can't wait to see what you do tomorrow. It's heart wrenching to think you will be grown up and not want me one day, but every mother lives through it so I'm sure I'll survive. You make me laugh daily and I am constantly smiling when I'm around you. I love you, I love you, I love you.
