birthday boy!!

After a fun lunch with dad we headed back home.

We spent some quiet play time...just mama and j-duggie

 

our j-bird played in his new t-pee we got him from world market.

 

and then we read some books.  

it was the perfect day...

And suddenly, you are one. And I turn one today, too, in a way. Because like that saying goes, "when a child is born, so is a mother."  When I didn't know what to do, when I felt like I was a little lost and not sure how it all worked, I remembered that we were both learning, we were both on that same exact path, from the very beginning.

There are so many amazing moments from the past year that I couldn't even begin to summarize them into a paragraph, a page, a novel. But what I will say is this: when I first saw you, when your Daddy held you up next to me so I could see your sweet face, I felt my entire world shift to make you the center.

You laugh hard and smile often. It's hard to believe it's been an entire year since you made your way into this world because you've already touched so many lives and brought smiles to so many faces. You're truly our light and I thank the Lord every single day that He chose me to be your mama.

Happiest birthday Jamison, I am so lucky to call you my son.

xoxo
