KOZE! As of 2:19 this morning it will have been one year since I met you face to face for the first time. Even trying to write this I get tears in my eyes. I often think of your first day here and how unexpected it was. That day and those following have truly been the best of my entire life. Watching you grow from the 5lb 12oz babe into the almost 20lb toddler that you've become in this first year has been incredible and inspiring. You are always curious and adventurous, I haven't seen an ounce of fear in you since the day I met you. Even when you were hooked up to monitors and an IV you rarely complained. You are beyond sweet and full of life.
This has been a fun year. We've had some really rough moments but even during the hard stuff I have always felt so grateful that have you here with me and to be so blessed to be able to be your mama.
You are changing and growing SO fast...everyday its something new. Like today for the first time I asked you where the ball was and you went right over to it and picked it up. Ball is also one of your new words. Something else cute that you did today, we were listening to O Holy Night in the car and about half way through you lifted both of your hands in the air, looked up at the ceiling and let out a couple of deep sighs as if you were having a very spiritual moment. So great.
I love you baby doos. So. much.
