i cannot even believe that you are a YEAR OLD today...it seems like just yesterday i found out i was preggers with you---when our henry was only 3 months old and our jake wasn't even two years old yet---you were so incredibly unexpected!...and that is the sweetest gift.
you were born such a gentle spirit. so easy-going. so content. so easy to please.
i wanted to consume you the first moment i saw you.
daddy was instantly smitten & so HAPPY to have his THIRD son
your brothers fell in love with you instantly.
it has been so incredible to watch you grow over this first year...
to watch your personality develop & come out...
you are so much like your brothers, in so many ways and so incredibly unique at the same time.
i love your fighter's spirit. {although it makes many things quite difficult} ;)
you, by far, have the biggest fighters spirit, compared to your big brothers {not an easy feat and yet you have somehow, managed to surpass them}
i love how you laugh every.single.time you get your bottle.
i love how you smile at your older brothers.
i love how you calm as soon as i hold you in my arms.
i love how you get beyond excited when your daddy gets home from work.
i love how happy you are when you wake up in the morning.
i love how you hold your arms up high in the air to so subtly ask {or more accurately, tell} me to hold you.
i.love.everything.about.you.
you LOVE playing with your big brothers
you love watching 'super why' with henry.
you love pulling everything out of the kitchen cabinets.
you love being read to.
you love playing hide 'n seek {and always.always.always find your older brothers}
you are my 3rd amazing. my sweet william, we are so crazy in love with you.
you have made our lives complete.
i love you.
i'm proud of you.
you are amazing.
you make my heart happy.
i am so happy i get to be your mommy.
i have waited for you my entire life.
happy birthday, my william.
