Dear Cole,

My sweet baby boy. Today marks one year since I first laid eyes on your precious face. You came out and a calm came over the room. Since the moment I first saw you I have been amazed at the presence you bring with you. l cannot believe that you are a year old. Where does the time go buddy? This time last year I was in the hospital bed about ready to deliver you. What a wonderful day that was. You have made me so immeasurably happy, Cole Baby. You just have this amazing presence and are such a joyful soul. Your little face is just always so happy and bright, and you make everyone else feel that way too. I don't know why I cant remember every single minute (I so wish I could) because I have been happy every second since you have been with us. I just feel like I have blinked and you went from newborn to now.. You have gone from a teeny little guy who laid and looked around to now a funny, silly boy who knows how to make me laugh and loves doing it! Everything about you is joy. You just are such a blessing and I love you more than I even thought I could. When you were in my tummy I knew I would love you, but I really honestly am surprised by how IN love with you I am munchkin. You are such an important part of our family, and I find myself saying all the time "he is just perfect!" and "I cant believe how much I love him". I thank God everyday for you sweet boy, and for knowing better than I did. I absolutely cannot imagine my world without you Cole-Cole. I love you so so much, and am so honored and blessed that I am your mommy. You teach me so much, and make me want to change the world for you. Keep the precious happiness about you that you were born with, forever. If I could give you one thing for your birthday, it would be for you to keep the same disposition about you for your entire life. Keep that, buddy, ok. Happy first birthday my love. You are loved more than I will ever be able to put into words. ~Mommy 5-4-09
