Dearest Mitchell:
Oh my sweet baby boy! I cannot believe a year has already gone by and you have grown from a little dumpling in my arms to this laughing, bubbly beautiful boy! You have truly endeared yourself to me and your dad and sister in every way possible!
At one year old, you are my sunshine every day! You have such a gentle, easy disposition. You love to play with your sister. You are not yet walking, but love to explore the world around you in so many ways! You love to play “If your happy and you know it, clap your hands” on your musical cube and do it over and over again clapping your hands and laughing. You cover your eyes and play peek-a-boo with yourself. If I let you crawl around and play on your own, often I find you at your book shelf in your room with a book on the floor flipping through the pages. You are very particular and only like the books with real baby faces for now and the baby signing books. If I try to read you another one you get frustrated and try to grab the books you want instead. You do know a few baby signs such as hat, dog, moon, more, light. You are a pretty eater already preferring bready stuff and cheese to most veggies and proteins. You love to climb the stairs. You love to pull our dog Tyson’s tail and let him lick your face (a bit too much I think)! You make little barking noises when you see any dog too and you have cute yelling matches with Shayla.
Shayla loves you so much and loves playing catch with you (you are pretty good at it already) and reading to you and playing “Round and Round the Garden” with your belly button! You amuse her and let her do pretty much anything she wants to you. Now that you are older you do try to get into her stuff a bit more so she is not always happy when you crash over her towers or try to brush her hair, but she never yells at you and will gently say “No, baby” and find another toy for you to play with. Daddy loves to rough house you and you love playing headsy with him (bumping heads or rubbing your face on his head or face). He adores you so much too and is looking forward to seeing you walk soon.
I am lucky that I get to stay at h0me with you and your sister so that I don’t miss a moment of you growing up. Each and every day is a new adventure that we get to create together!
I know that for now you only have eyes for me and you really are a momma’s boy and I can’t help but love that! You are my precious little boy and I feel so luck that Heavenly Father allowed you to come to our family and into our lives. I look forward to continue to watch you grow and strive in life and in all you do. I am curious to see what kind of boy and man you will be one day, but you can take your time getting there because I am cherishing every second with you as my baby!
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO MY SUNSHINE!
I love you Mitchell!
Your Mommy!
