It feels like just yesterday you were laid on my chest for the first time. How has a year already gone by?! Even tho this year has flown by I feel like I can remember every moment with you. I am so lucky to be able to say that I am able to stay home with you and see you grow and learn everyday and I will be forever grateful for that.
I want to say thank you for making me a mommy. You allowed me to find my true calling in this short life. I was always trying to find where I belonged in this big world and then your little 7 lb 2 oz body was put in my arms and I knew. God answered my prayers when he brought you into my life.
You have made me fall even more in love with your daddy. He is so amazing with you and you love him so much. I love watching the bond between you two have grow every single day. I love hearing the giggles that come when he's ticking you or throwing you in the air. You two will be best friends I just know it.

You have taught me patience. Something I have to admit I didn't have much of before. You are a strong willed little boy and you know what you want. It can be frustrating at times because I have to practice that patience, but Noah, please keep that quality about yourself. You never give up. You tried over and over again to crawl, walk, pull yourself up or do whatever it is you were determined to do. Never give up on anything you set your mind to. Know that mom and dad will always believe and support your dreams.
You have shown me a love I never knew before. The feeling of being needed. I nourished your body from my own for this year and even tho it was tough we got thru it and the bond I experienced with you was one I'll always remember and cherish. You showed me what I can do when I am truly determined. You reach for me when you're upset and I love that I can soothe you.
You have taught me it's ok to make mistakes. I am not the perfect mommy but you love me anyways. You accept me as I am all flaws included. I will probably make a lot more mistakes over the years but I want you to know I will always try my best and choose what I believe is in your best interest. I will do anything for you my sweet boy.
You have taught me to love the little things in life. Those sweet moments you give me kisses or run into my arms. You have taught me to pick my battles. Sometimes it's just not worth saying, "no" when you just want to carry around the wooden spoon you took out of the kitchen drawer (you're not allowed in).
You have taught me to forgive. Isn't it funny how I don't get mad when you pull my hair or I am quickly happy again after you've done something naughty? I need to remind myself that life is more fun when you forgive and love everyone.
Noah, you are the BIGGEST blessing I have received in my life so far. You are my greatest accomplishment and what makes me most proud. I can't wait to spend another year with you.
I love you so much.
-Mama
