One year has passed us by. Already.
I fell deeply and madly in love with you the second they put you on my chest and I looked into your eyes. My heart ached with overwhelming love.
Thank you for what you have given us. Before your arrival, I worried that I'd have to somehow "split" my love between you and your brother. But the day I met you, my heart grew 3 sizes that day (just like the Grinch). There was just more. More love. And thank you for what you have given your brother. He wouldn't be a big brother without you. He has learned so much over the past year about being a role model and caring for someone else. You have taught us all life lessons.
I pray hard every night to make the right choices for you and your brother. I pray that I raise you to be caring, loving, honest men. I pray that you'll always kiss your Mommy and hold up your little "I love you" fingers.
Only another mother could understand my heartache today. Today, I am reflecting back to every little kick and hiccup before you were born. I can remember each detail about your journey to me on this day one year ago, from the first contraction to the moment when I laid eyes on you. I am thinking back to every milestone that you accomplished this past year...the first coo, the first smile, the first bath, the first Halloween costume, the first laugh, sitting up, crawling, first foods, and all of your little mannerisms and personality traits that surfaced and make you who you are.
Happy Birthday Carter Miles. My sweet baby boy.
